Avoid The ‘Saraki Coup’; Don’t Be Late To Inaguration Of Senate, Adamu Warns APC Senators-elect

The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Adamu has warned the senators-elect on the platform of the party not to be late to the inauguration of the 10th senate to prevent what happened in 2015.

In 2015, Bukola Saraki, a former governor of Kwara, became the senate president against the plan of the ruling party, after he formed an alliance with Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senators.

Speaking at a meeting with APC senators-elect in Abuja on Tuesday, Adamu said he wanted the senate to have a rancour-free election when the upper legislative chamber is inaugurated in June.

“I’m happy that we are heeding the advice and directives we gave to make consultations and it is good that is going on and I’m happy that it is been very fruitful,” he said.

“We wait till the third of June on the floor of the house. I want us to have a rancour-free election on the floor. Because even if everybody says it is Akpabio or Y or X, the rules of the game say there must be an election.

“Those who are in the senate are aware of the rules. On the day of the proclamation, the president and the clerk make the proclamation. So I do hope and pray that we will carry the day and be victorious.

“But let me warn you, don’t be late. I hope I am communicating. Don’t be late. Once bitten twice shy.”
