The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s claims of a planned attack its senators.
The PDP said the ruling party was smarting from its failed attempt to remove Senate President Bukola Saraki.
The opposition said the ruling party had come to its wits end in its desperate plot to illegally remove Saraki and his deputy Ike Ekweremadu hence the “spurious” allegation.
A statement by PDP spokesman Kola Ologbondiyan, said it was sheer hallucination for the APC to link it with any attempt to attack anybody, not the least, senators.
“Equally derisory is the APC’s claims that it is in talks with some PDP senators to get a two thirds vote to impeach the Senate presiding officers when it is public knowledge that all PDP senators are loyal to their party and had already pledged their loyalty to the presiding officers that they elected by themselves.
“It is therefore foolhardiness for the leadership of the APC, to contemplate a capacity to impeach the presiding officers of the National Assembly whereas they are neither senators nor members of the House of Representatives.
“It is also funny that rather than lobby senators and members on their party position, if they have any, the APC leadership toed the path of brigandage, claiming to have powers to upturn or upstage the leadership that it did not ab-initio bring into existence.
“It is necessary to impress it on the APC that Nigerians, in attracting a democratic lifestyle, have since abandoned the garrison command leadership approach of any Nigerian, no matter how highly placed.
“Therefore, it is too late in the day for the APC to attempt to deploy underhand tactics that are strange to democratic norms to remove a duly elected Senate leadership”, the PDP added.
