Senators elected on the platform of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday denied their involvement in any alleged plot to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari. They dismissed reports of the impeachment plot as “false, baseless and unfounded.”
The PDP Senators were apparently reacting to a statement by a former Chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees (BoT),Chief Tony Anenih, asking the National Caretaker committee Chairman – Alhaji Ahmed Makarfi, to “dissuade the PDP caucus in the National Assembly from participating in the alleged ‘ill advised’ adventure of removing President Muhammadu Buhari from office.”
The Senate Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio; Minority Whip, Philip Aduda; and Deputy Minority Whip, Biodun Olujimi, said in a joint statement that the PDP Senate Caucus had “neither discussed nor participated in any discussion or congregation on the issue of impeaching and/or serving notice of impeachment on President Muhammadu Buhari.”
