Defection: Saraki As Senate President Not Allowed – Boroffice

APC Should Not Allow Saraki Preside Over Legislative Affairs

Ajayi Boroffice, the lawmaker representing the Ondo-North senatorial district, has attacked the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, stating that his defection to the opposition party is not acceptable.

The statement was made by Boroffice, who happens to be a member of the Buhari/Osinbajo Mandate Group, he said it shortly after welcoming President Muhammadu Buhari from his London break.

He said the ruling All Progressive Congress would not condole Saraki, who has joined the Peoples Democratic Party to continue to preside over the affairs of the Legislative.

The lawmaker said, “We are the majority party and what has happened is an aberration and this kind of aberration will never happen again. The President must be supported in fulfilling his mandate which has been obstructed by the leadership of the Senate.”

When ask on whether the Senate would rely on two-thirds of the entire Senate or on a quorum to remove Saraki, Boroffice said he would rather rely on the latter.

He said, “If the constitution says two-thirds of all members, it means it will require two-thirds of 109 but if it says two-thirds of members, it will be two-thirds of all members who are present and that is what I will opt for.”
