The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Caucus in the Senate has vowed not to support the emergence of an All Progressives Congress (APC) senator as the next President of the Senate if eventually Saraki lost at the CCT.
Chairman, Senate Committee on Niger Delta Affairs, Peter Nwaboshi, who said this on Wednesday, stated that the PDP would seize the opportunity to produce the next President.
The senator, while fielding questions from journalists in Abuja, said: “Well, I wish APC the best of luck if they are making that wild goose chase. But I want you to mark what I’m saying. I was the first to address the press in Port Harcourt and I told them that Saraki was going to win the Senate Presidency and I gave them my reasons.
“Then, nobody ever thought that Saraki was going to win. People were saying that APC had decided. But it was clear to me that he was going to win and I had to address the press.
“I said Saraki was going to win and that he was going to get my vote. Eventually, we went there, he won. If, (but God forbid, because we don’t see it coming), by chance Saraki is removed; I can tell you that PDP will produce the next Senate President. We only need three and we have it. The calculation is very clear to me.”
“The calculation is very clear for PDP. We know what it will take us. When I told them that Saraki was going to win, I did a lot of mathematical calculations based on the facts on the ground and it is even clearer to me now that the PDP will win it.
“We will win it. If anybody is thinking that a PDP man is going to vote against a PDP candidate, he is telling you a lie. We have people and we know how to get the people from APC. We will win and that will be very interesting.
“What is happening in America is going to happen in Nigeria. I can tell you with what’s on the ground that we will produce the next Senate President,” he stressed.
