Impeachment: Anti-Saraki forces cease fire, lobby for Buhari

Members of the All Progressives Congress caucus have suspended their plan to force Senator Bukola Saraki to resign as President of the Senate, or plot his impeachment, The PUNCH reliably learnt on Tuesday.

Reliable sources disclosed to The PUNCH correspondent that both the APC and the Peoples Democratic Party caucuses, who had been at daggers drawn over who control the Senate, had resolved to suspend the infighting as both parties had failed some of their members in the chamber.

Sources from both camps told our correspondent that senators who lost out in the primaries held by the two dominant parties had resolved to stop defending the interests of their parties in the chamber.

There has been a power tussle between members of the APC and PDP in the Senate and House of Representatives over which party now has the majority, following defections by lawmakers.
