Removing Saraki Is Impossible – Nigerian Senate Chief Whip, Prof. Adeyeye
The Nigerian Senate Chief Whip, Professor Olusola Adeyeye, has confirmed that the Senate President cannot be removed.
In an interview monitored by The Whistler on Channels Television on Sunday, Professor Adeyeye noted that it would be impossible to remove Senator Saraki considering the number in the Senate.
“If politics is a game of number, Saraki has the number in the Nigerian Senate (and) let nobody deceive himself.
“In the current situation, it is impossible because a majority is not enough to remove him (and) by the rules of the Senate, you need 2/3 to remove a presiding officer.
“That number will not come,” he stated.

In his suspicion, the lawmaker said that even though the Senate President loses the case in court, a civil servant would be made the scapegoat.
The trial of the Senate President on alleged forgery of the Standing Rules opened on Monday in a Federal High Court in Abuja.
He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
