APC Senate Caucus Declares Support For President Buhari

Members of the APC caucus at the Senate have declared their support for President Muhammadu Buhari and his anti-corruption campaign.

They are however shocked at the reaction of their colleagues from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over recent comments on the recovery of stolen funds.

Speaking at a news conference with reporters in Abuja, the Spokesperson of Caucus, Olusola Adeyeye, said they also want members of the opposition to have a rethink over their withdrawal of support for the President.

Members of the Peoples Democratic Party at the Senate had threatened to stop all forms of cooperation with the All Progressives Congress-led government if the executive does not stop harassing its members across Nigeria.

Members of the PDP caucus on Wednesday condemned in totality the plot to remove the leadership of the Senate.

Addressing reporters in Abuja, the head of the PDP caucus, Senator Emmanuel Bwacha, alleged that the present administration’s anti-corruption war was lopsided.

“We the caucus members having deliberated on stated issues examined our position on unwarranted threat to the legislative arm of government, particularly to the Senate leadership by the executive arm as well as the ongoing intimidation and persecution of the opposition party by the ruling APC.

“We condemn in totally the orchestrated plot to remove the president of the senate and his deputy through an illegal means,” he said.
