With security agencies blocking Senate President Bukola Saraki and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, from leaving their homes, many believe it is a ploy to stop them from presiding over today’s plenary where some aggrieved APC senators plan to defect en masse to the PDP.
But PDP senator, Ben Murray Bruce has raised an alarm that there is a plan by the APC to install a new senate leadership during the plenary.

In a tweet this morning, he urged his fellow senators to move immediately to the senate to stop the “attempt by loyalists of dictatorship to use the ensuing confusion to play a fast one”
He tweeted: “Every @OfficialPDPNig Senator should immediately go to the @NGRSenate. We must stop any attempt by loyalists of dictatorship to use the ensuing confusion to play a fast one and change the leadership of the Senate. Nigerians, be on guard. Help preserve independence of the Senate!”
