Nobody was expected to be there at that time of the day, but in his bid to execute his plot, there he was.
At some distance away from the premises the senators elected under the platform of APC were finalizing their plot to install Ahmed Lawal from Yobe as senate president for they had the backing of their godfather, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and some high ranked cabals of the party.
No sooner the doors to the senate opened than Saraki rushed out of his car and scurried in.
While the APC senators who had the blessings of their part were at the spot planning, Saraki, who had the 41 PDP senators and the tiny number of turnouts APC senators, was announced the 8th president of the senate.
Since Saraki outsmarted his party to the position on the 9 of June 2015, no member was ready to forgive him for that deception. Then all hell broke loose in APC thereafter.
Since then the senate president has been bedeviled with several charges - alleged false declaration of assets , money laundering by nation's code of conduct bureau and anti graft agencies, and he was also linked to Offa bank robbery which led to death of almost 30 people.
Senate president Bukola Saraki with the formal senate president David Mark.
