The
Senate may witness a change of leadership if the threat by aggrieved
senators from the two main political parties, the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, and the All Progressives Congress, APC, to impeach Senate
President David Mark for not protecting them in the just concluded party
primaries is carried out.
If successful, the plot may see
the APC producing the Senate President in addition to the House of
Representatives speakership. This is coming as 168 members of the House
of Representatives have endorsed the plan to impeach President Goodluck
Jonathan.
Some of the vocal and prominent PDP
senators, who had defended the party with every available means whenever
the opposition APC senators raised eye-brow over some of President
Jonathan’s policies were surprised that both the Senate leadership and
the National Working Committee, NWC, of the party could not reciprocate
the gesture. Instead the senators were left at the mercy of state
governors.
Consequently, the aggrieved senators in both the PDP
and APC, who lost return tickets at the various party primaries have
decided to move against the Senate leadership for not protecting them
during the primaries.
