PDP Senators Never Supported Saraki’s Emergence As Senate President – Akpabio

Senators elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party on Thursday said they never supported emergence of the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki. His luck worked for him and that was how he was returned unopposed as Senate president.

Akpabio said the PDP caucus staged a walk-out during the confirmation of a former Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, and 17 others because they did not want to participate in illegality.

He added that the PDP senators decided not to participate in what he described as a “charade confirmation” because they have responsibilities to Nigerians.

According to him: “We never supported Saraki during the election because he was returned unopposed.
“We staged a walk-out because we felt that there is total breach in the law.
