PDP senators declare confidence in Saraki as Senate president
PDP senators say despite the row that followed the confirmation of
Rotimi Amaechi yesterday, they still have strong confidence in the
leadership of the senate president, Bukola Saraki.
One of the PDP senators, Gershom Bassey who spoke with NAN today, said
they will continue to support Saraki as he faces his trial at the Code
of Conduct Tribunal.
"We have had two votes of confidence on him and they stand. He has the
confidence of the Senate and there is absolutely no problem. In spite of
the disagreement between the APC and PDP senators, nothing has changed.
In democracy, people must have different points of
view and we must express those points of view. The Senate is a vibrant
one that has a lot of vibrant debates; the Senate is not a football team
that we all have to play in the same direction," he said.
Also speaking, Senator George Sekibo who submitted the petition against
Amaechi to the Senate maintained that PDP senators were still behind
Saraki.
