Senate President Bukola Saraki has denied that he had a deal with
PDP to ensure that Ike Ekweremadu who is from the opposition party,
emerge Deputy Senate President.
On June 9th 2015, a controversial
election in the senate saw the emergence of Saraki and Ekweremadu emerge
as President and Deputy Senate President. This was against the will of
the APC leadership.
Some Nigerians believed that Saraki had a deal with
PDP that if the PDP members voted him into power, one of their members
would emerge as deputy.
For political arrangement, this is incorrect as
this is an APC government that is expected to have all their party
members in all positions of power.
While answering
questions from one of his followers this morning, Saraki denied claims
of having a deal with PDP to ensure Ike Ekweremadu emerged Deputy Senate
President.
According to him, some of the APC members who were supposed
to vote during the senate election, decided to be somewhere else when
the election was taken place.
Ekweremadu defeated Ali Ndume of the APC
to emerge the 8th Deputy Senate President. See his tweet replies below...
