APC Set To Probe Troubled Saraki

The All Progressives Congress on Monday said it would investigate the alleged case of forgery against some principal officers of the Senate.

The National Chairman of the party, John Odigie-Oyegun, made this known to journalists on Monday in Abuja.

He said the investigation would ascertain the truth in the allegation.

The President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu and some officers of the upper chamber were accused of forging the Senate’s Standing Rules in 2015 in June last year to facilitate their election as presiding officers of the upper legislative chamber.

Mr. Saraki is a member of the APC while Mr. Ekweremadu belongs to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.

“At this stage I don’t think there is anything to say. In fact everything is still a guess work,” Mr. Odigie-Oyegun said.

“Nobody has said yes or they have been arrested or asked to make statement or whatever. As a party we do not think it is the business of the party to interfere in judicial matters of that nature.

“`We will just wait and see as we are also making investigations to be sure what the situation is.”
