Senate leader Ali Ndume
The Senate leader, Ali Ndume, has called on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senators not to play God.
He noted that God gave power to Bukola Saraki and He alone can remove the Senate president, if he is ever convicted by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).
Vanguard reports that Ndume made a statement reacting to the position of some PDP senators that the opposition would produce Saraki’s successor if he is removed.
“PDP should not play God. It is God that gave power to Senate president Saraki and it is only God that can take it from him.
“Only God will know who will take it from him, not even a party, not even the PDP can do that, God knows who will take it from him, not PDP,” he said.

On March 28, the PDP senators held a meeting where they perfected their plan to produce the replacement for the current Senate president should he be removed by the CCT.
A source at the meeting claimed that some people were of the opinion that the current deputy Senate president, Ike Ekweremadu, should resign alongside Saraki as a sacrifice while an APC senator from the North-Central would emerge as the deputy.
Commenting on the development, Senator Peter Nwaboshihe, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Niger Delta Affairs, expressed assurance that the PDP would produce the next Senate president.
“Should the incumbent, Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki, is forced to vacate the office, we have perfected necessary arrangements to take over the upper chamber,” he said.
Meanwhile, the National Strategic Group has criticized the APC for failing to react to threats by the opposition party to take over the leadership of the Senate.
