Senator Ben Murray-Bruce has alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers are planning to appoint Senator Godswill “Akpabio as the Senate President,  as the Senate President and impeach Saraki and Ekweremadu.”

This much, he told the Channels Television Breakfast Programme, Sunrise Daily on Tuesday.

“The front gate has been blocked by DSS and police. The plan is to allow APC senators entry. Senators who will install Akpabio as the Senate President and impeach Saraki and Ekweremadu,” Murray Bruce said.

He, however, vowed that the plot by the APC lawmakers will not stand noting that the PDP has majority members. He said the PDP lawmakers would resist any attempt by the APC senators to effect any leadership change in the Senate. Murray-Bruce said they would make sure that countries like the US, Canada, The United Kingdom, among others revoke the visas of Senator Akpabio and his cohorts as well as their wives and children.

“It can’t stand. They do not have the numbers. I have been in touch with Britain, Canada, and requested from the management that the visa of Akpabio and all the other senators involved in this be revoked. So that their request to go to London, Washington, Paris, Berlin will be revoked.”

Lamenting over the heavy presence of security operatives at the National Assembly, Murray-Bruce claimed that they were being sponsored by APC senators.

“What they are doing is illegal. What they are doing is against the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This makes no sense,” he said.
