Senate PDP withdraws support for Buhari administration

By The Citizen

Senators on the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have formally resolved to totally withdraw their support for President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government.

The Senators said it was time to end their one-year romance with the government, noting that the All Progressives Congress (APC) led government actions toward their party members so far, since taking over the central government were enough agonies to withdraw their support.

The resolution was taken following the court summon on the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, along with the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, over alleged forgery of the Senate Standing Rules.

The Senators at a meeting which outcome was kept in secrecy, resolved to communicate their new position to the national leadership of the party, yesterday evening, after which it would be publicly announced at a press conference.

A competent source at the meeting who spoke to our correspondent, but pleaded not be named, said a delegation comprising one Senator from various geo-political zone, with the Deputy Senate President, Ekweremadu, was mandated to take the position of the PDP Senate caucus to the leadership and report back today.

'We are expecting them to report back the outcome tomorrow (today) and from there, you would hear our position formally at a news briefing, ' he said. - The Sun.
