They also condemned the arrest of Ex-Governors Sule Lamido of Jigawa state and Babangida Aliyu of Niger State for corruption charges.

According to the senators, the charges are all cooked up against the PDP leaders.

The opposition senators also said plans are on to plant weapons, ammunition and cash in residences and vehicles of Ekweremadu, PDP ex-governors.

They promised a political showdown if the intercepted intelligence document is implemented by security agencies controlled by the presidency officials.
