We’ll not only impeach Saraki, we’ll stop his return to Senate in 2019— Oshiomhole

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has assured that Senate President Bukola Saraki will be impeached.

Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Friday, Oshiomhole said apart from his impeachment, Saraki will be defeated in his senatorial district in 2019.

“He (Saraki) failed to understand that the Nigeria national project is more complicated and is not that easy. He will not only be impeached, we will work hard to have him defeated as a senator in his own senatorial zone come 2019,” he said.

“The people of Kwara state are fed up with Saraki and we are fed up with Bukola… Sarki will not be the first to be impeached and I doubt if he is going to be the last but definitely he will be impeached according to law and according to the democratic norms , the only way senator Saraki can avoid impeachment is for him to do what is honourable, which again leads to the issue of character.”

Oshiomhole’s latest comments form part of a continuing heightened onslaught against the senate president to relinquish his position following his recent defection to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

With the senate’s planned resumption on Tuesday, many believe the APC’s impeachment moves will once again surface.
