The Arewa Solidarity Front (ASF) has called on the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, to ensure the party reclaims the position of Senate President by replacing Senator Bukola Saraki with Senator Godswill Akpabio.
In a letter signed by its chairman, Haruna Abdullahi Maikano, ASF said Akpabio had shown that he is a true nationalist with strong democratic credentials, who has friends across the nation’s geo-political divide.
“We make bold to say that it is unacceptable to allow the incumbent Senate President to continue to ridicule the president and the country’s international image with avoidable controversies over budgets and clearance of federal government’s appointees.
“Our efforts have reached advanced stage, to secure a minimum of 2 million authentic signatures in favour of the vote of no-confidence on Saraki by Nigerian voters,” the ASF said, adding that at the end of the exercise, it intends to meet with all the Senators in their immediate constituencies in Northern Nigeria, to further drum up support for Akpabio.
