Senate faults APC’s reaction to impeachment rumour

The Senate yesterday said the APC leadership made unwarranted comments on mere speculation and fabrication on a purported plan to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari.
A statement by the spokesperson of the Senate, Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, said the APC reacted when it had all the opportunity to cross-check from its members, what actually happened at the executive session which held on Tuesday.
“We expected the party to at least explore all the options open to it to verify that piece of fabrication which is only the figment of the imagination of the writers and their sponsors. It should be clear to the APC leadership that if there is any truth to that story, it should have been credited to a particular senator who was at the executive session.
“It is evident from our proceedings of yesterday (Wednesday) that the Senate itself was shocked that such a fabrication, which constitutes a breach of the privileges of the senators, was published, and that was why we mandated our committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions to investigate the source and circumstances leading to the emergence of such a fabrication.
