APC backs BCO, but won’t join in mobilisation, says acting Publicity Secretary •It’s an invitation to anarchy if they do that, says PDP; 49 senators support Saraki •NASS resumption unlikely as details of planned impeachment emerge
The battle for control of the Senate was last night set to take a more violent form as a campaign group for President Muhammadu Buhari, the Buhari Campaign Organisation yesterday vowed to physically take over the National Assembly complex if Senate President Bukola Saraki does not resign from office
The vow by the group was backed by the All Progressives Congress, APC which, however, said though in support of the group’s intent, it would not join in mobilising for the showdown. The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, however, cautioned President Buhari to deter his supporters, warning that his name could go in the path of infamy if the administration allows the BCO to carry out what it called a civilian coup. More support also came the way of the embattled Senate President as it emerged that at least 45 senators had signed a letter of solidarity with him, by that undercutting his antagonists who need at least 73 votes in the Senate to remove him. APC senators have also signed a petition for his removal, Vanguard gathered over the weekend.
