Ahead of their scheduled parley with the ruling All Progressives Congress and the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, in Abuja, a number of senators-elect and members-elect of the House of Representatives were on Sunday spotted in town.
Among those seen were the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan; Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, who was recently re-elected as the senator representing Ekiti Central Senatorial District, and Kano North senator-elect, Barau Jibrin.
According to the source, the ‘ghost of the civilian coup’ executed by the duo of Senator Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara to emerge as Senate President and House of Representatives Speaker in 2015 is still haunting the ruling party. He said, “There were serious concerns before we went into the election and many of us believe that Adamu should resign to assuage the feelings of the Christian community towards our party.
“However, it was agreed that something urgent should be done about it immediately our presidential and vice presidential candidates emerged victorious at the poll.
