In a bid to frustrate the
leadership of their party over their support for Senator Ahmed Lawan’s
candidacy for the 8th session of the Nigerian senate, Senator Bukola Saraki and
his supporters have devised a new plan.
Sahara Reporters
reports that the senators have now decided to endorse ex-senate president,
David Mark for a third term as the senate president.
The disgruntled
lawmakers allegedly reached an agreement with their Peoples Democratic Party
counterparts where it was agreed that Mark will be their sole candidate for the
election.
It was revealed that
Mark himself had plans to retain his seat and so he reached out to the Saraki
group where he offered them heads of juicy committees in the upper chamber as a
reward for their imminent support for is aspiration.
Another source
revealed that some PDP senators took advantage of the desperation of the
contenders to demand outrageous sums of money in exchange for their votes.
Just four days ago, Mark had said PDP senators would not contest for presidency in the 8th
Senate, giving reasons for his stand, he said: “the position was for the APC which he noted enjoys the majority in
the Red Chamber.”
Reports had emanated
earlier today that the Saraki camp has commenced a discreet plot
to take out their rage on the leadership of the APC.
