Ā Another prominent member of the Pro-Saraki group, Senator Dino Melaye representing Kogi West district, accused the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), of collecting signatures of lawmakers with the aim of effecting a leadership change in the upper chamber of the National Assembly.

Melaye, while briefing his colleagues at the National Assembly lobby on the impeachmentĀ  plot by members of the PSG, said the APC national chairman Adams Oshiomhole was in a meeting with Pro-Buhari senators to collect signatures for Saraki and Ekweremadu’s impeachment.

ā€œThe chairman of APC is currently meeting with some APC senators. As I speak, we understand he is collecting signature for the senate president’s impeachment.

ā€œWe also understand that after collecting the signatures they will be proceeding to the National Assembly to carry out their plan. We are waiting for themā€, the lawmaker added.
