NASS crisis: Jonathan’s ex-aide, Okupe explains only way APC can impeach Saraki

Doyin Okupe, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has
explained how a Senate President can either be elected or impeached,
according to the extant laws of the country.

He spoke against the backdrop of heightened plot by APC Senators and
the leadership of the All Progressives Congress to impeach Bukola
Saraki as Senate President.

The former presidential aide, taking to his Twitter handle on Tuesday
morning, explained that "A new Senate President can be elected once a
quorum of the Senate has been formed by a simple majority of the
members present.Section 50(1).

"But a sitting Senate President can only be removed by 2/3 of the
membership of the whole Senate. Unfortunately this is the law today."
