The Deputy Minority leader of the Senate, Senator Emmanuel Bawcha on Wednesday said Senators of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, who expressed support for President Muhammadu Buhari have withdrawn their support.
Bawcha in a statement read on the floor of the upper chambers of the National Assembly cited the “belligerent” nature of the Buhari-led All Progressives Congress, APC, as its reason.
He said, “We condemn the plot to remove the senate president and his deputy through illegal means.
We will no longer cooperate with the APC government until they cease their belligerent acts.”
The PDP caucus from the upper chambers of the National Assembly maintained that the action of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to block the bank account of Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose is a political witch-hunt.
“The freezing of account of Ekiti state governor is a clear political witch-hunt.
“We wish the government to act with caution and desist from acts of lawlessness,” he said.
Recall that in August 2015, 49 PDP Senators declared support for the government in a bid to build a greater Nigeria
