Senator  Shehu Sani, says that the impeachment of the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, will worsen the crisis rocking the National Assembly.

Sani, the senator representing Kaduna-Central senatorial district, said the removal of Ekweremadu will hamper the operations of the executive arm of the government.

Sani, an All Progressives Congress member disclosed this during an interview with Sahara TV,

He said, “We have to tell ourselves the truth. We are in a difficult situation. The fact that we have a deputy senate president from the PDP is a better alternative to the election of a senate president from the PDP because we could have had that on June 9.

“If we remove Ekweremadu and replace him with an APC senator, the PDP in the senate would be a potent opposition that would continue to oppose anything that the executive arm presents.

“Now that the APC senators are not united, and when you have a PDP as a force to confront, that would be an additional problem. Now, Ekweremadu is the subject matter. Ekweremadu is being seen as representing a power equation in the sharing of power in the country. Therefore, removing Ekweremadu will create more problems than the solutions which we are saying it would create.”
