A group of lawmakers in the House of Representatives under the auspices of Parliamentary Democrats Group (PDG) on Monday vowed that both chambers of the National Assembly would not reopen if the intention was to change leadership.
The group, in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja yesterday by its spokesman, Hon. Timothy Golu stated that although their leaders were meeting to consider the appeal from the Presidency, the two chambers would reconvene only if there were assurances that no attempt would be made to impeach either the senate president, Bukola Saraki, Speaker Yakubu Dogara or deputy senate president, Ike Ekweremadu.
According to the statement, “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.”
” Talks are ongoing and as long as there is no threat to our democratic peace, we can reconvene to attend to issues in the common interest of the nation.
