As his trial at the Code
of Conduct Tribunal commenced yesterday April 5th, some senators have advised
Senator Bukola Saraki to resign his appointment as the Senate President before
he is disgraced out of office.
This advice comes as the
number of senators who escorted him to the CCT trial dropped to 23 yesterday
April 5th. When the trial initially started, 81 senators followed him to the
tribunal.
According to Vanguard, the advice was given to him at a
special meeting he held with some of his loyal senators who followed him to his
Maitama residence shortly after the end of yesterday’s trial at the CCT. One of
the senators who spoke on condition of anonymity said.
"I can confirm to
you that at a special meeting held yesterday, we asked the Senate President to
consider the option of resignation. We believe that doing so would preserve the
institution of the Senate,” he said
Meanwhile the APC and PDP
are said to be in some disagreement over who will succeed him if he eventually
steps down or is forced out of office.
