It is Impossible To Impeach Saraki’ – Senate Chief Whip

The Senate Chief Whip, Professor Sola Adeyeye, has noted that it would be impossible to remove Senator Saraki considering the number of Senators in the Upper legislative chamber.

Senator Adeyeye said this while featuring on a programme on Channels Television, titled: Today’s Politics. He said: “If politics is a game of number, Saraki has the number in the Nigerian Senate. Let nobody deceive himself.

“In the current situation, it is impossible to remove him from the seat unless, he willingly stepped aside, because the majority is not enough to remove him and by the rules of the Senate, you need 2/3 to remove a presiding officer. That number will not come,” he stated.

In his suspicion, the lawmaker said that “Even though the Senate President loses the case in court, a civil servant would be made the scapegoat.

The trial of the Senate President and his deputy over the alleged forgery of the Standing Rules opened on Monday in a Federal High Court in Abuja and they have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
