Baraje educates Oshiomhole on how not to impeach Saraki

The leader of the Reformed All Progressives Congress, Alhaji Kawu Baraje, has said that the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, cannot be impeached by Gestapo approach.

He said it was an insult on Nigerians for the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, to be making an emphatic statement that Saraki would be impeached.

He spoke to journalists in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, on Thursday,  during the graduation ceremony at Baraje Centre for Arabic and Islamic Studies.

Baraje said, “The Constitution makes me to understand that only the senators can elect or impeach their president.

“Somebody will just say because he is the chairman of the party, tomorrow, we are going to impeach the Senate President. Some of us have experiences of leading parties.  Issues like that had come up and we knew how we handled it.”

He added, “It needs a lot of maturity and education and cool-headedness. It is not by Gestapo approach. In any case, the senators, through their body language, are saying that as far as they are concerned, they are not ready to impeach their president.”

Baraje also said he had defected from the APC to the Peoples Democratic Party.

He said,” My formal declaration is coming up at a day arranged by my people. I am  going to declare in my ward, that where my leader goes is where I go. I belong to the party that has made me and the party that has given me a lot  in the politics of this country. I belong to the PDP.”
