The lawmaker described the reports as the handiwork of his opponents, adding that he enjoys a good relationship with the senate president and will continue to support him.
The senator said the accusations leveled against him will not work, referring to it as “cheap blackmail.”
In a statement on Thursday, the lawmaker said, “My attention has been drawn to a report by an online newspaper without a defined address that I, Senator Shehu Sani and other senators plotted to impeach the senate president, Dr Bukola Saraki on Tuesday, 24th 2018.
I’m not aware of such plot whether it
happened or not. And If there was anything like that, it stands
condemned. I can never be part of any plot to impeach the senate
president because there was never reason to do so.
“I enjoyed a good working relationship
with Dr Saraki since 2015 till date and he has always supported and
identified with me in my moments of travails and trials and I
reciprocated the same to him.
“He has managed the senate with
experience, responsibility and maturity and always respects my views
even when it differs with his. Fifthly, Senate President and Deputy
Senate President Ike Ekwerenmadu have managed the Senate satisfactorily
and championed and sustained its independence.”
“My decision to remain in the APC or
leave the party is my own choice to make in tandem with my conviction,
conscience and the imperatives of the constituents and constituency I
represent,” he said.
“Fabrications, concoction and outright
lies and blackmail aimed at me, to force me to toe a line against my
conscience will not work. Using such cheap blackmail and character
assassination against me will not work.
“I will continue to support the
leadership of Dr Saraki and Dr Ike Ekweremadu till the end of the life
of the eight senate. Once again, my choice of party is my business and
not that of any person.”
