Monday vowed that the call for reconvening of the National Assembly would not be heeded if the intention is to change the leadership of both chambers.
The group, in a statement signed by its
spokesman, Hon. Timothy Golu, said although their leaders were meeting
to consider the appeal from the presidency, the Senate and the House
might consider the request only if there are assurances that no attempt
would be made to unseat either the Senate president or the speaker and
their deputies.
Golu said: “Our leaders are meeting to
brief us on the appeal by the presidency for us to reconvene. There must
be assurance that no illegality will be attempted to be done against
any of our leaders.
“We are worried by the statements from
some anti-Saraki senators like Adamu Abdullahi and Ali Ndume to the fact
that the Senate president must be changed.”
According to him, “Talks are ongoing and
as long as there is no threat to our democratic peace, we can reconvene
to attend to issues.
“We want peace and stability for our
democracy to grow and produce more good fruits and if among ourselves we
are found guilty of any form of sabotage for personal reasons, then we
are not fair to the people.”
