       Following the formal defection of the President of the Senate,
       Bukola Saraki from the ruling party, All Progressives Congress
       (APC) to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), the caucus of PDP
       in the House of Representatives has vowed to resist the
       impeachment plot against him.
       The caucus said it is currently keeping vigilance over the
       Senate Chamber to prevent it being forcefully accessed by APC
       Senators.
       The decision of the lawmakers followed an alleged plot to
       impeach Saraki by some APC senators said to have perfected plans
       to force their ways into the chamber with the connivance of
       security agencies.
       The National Assembly is currently on a two-month annual recess.
       The Deputy Minority Leader of the House Chukwuka Onyema briefed
       reporters at the National Assembly yesterday evening where he
       said PDP lawmakers in the House would scuttle the plot by
       watching over the National Assembly.
       Onyema, who was flanked by about 10 members alleged senators,
       Abdullahi Adamu, Ovie Omo-Agege and Ali Ndume as being the
       arrowheads of the forceful takeover of the Senate chamber and
       the impeachment plot while the federal lawmakers are on their
       annual vacation.
       He said: “The aim of their invasion while other senators are on
       recess is to come and sit illegally when everybody is on recess
       to impeach the senate president.
       “We also have it on good authority that they are planning to
       come back this night and tomorrow morning aided by security
       forces; our own security forces whose job is to protect the
       lives of Nigerians.
       “They are the ones leading these dissident senators to come and
       truncate our democracy. We might think they want to take over
       the senate; that’s not what they want to do.
       “They want to truncate this democracy of ours. But we the PDP
       caucus has decided to stay here to keep vigil and wait to s
       what’s going to happen tonight and tomorrow night”.
       He however said it was time for Nigerians to rise up and defend
       the nation’s democracy, “This is not a rape on the National
       Assembly, it’s a rape on democracy which concerns all of us.
       “If we allow this to happen, then we can as well go back to when
       we use to have a military junta.
       “We also have some information that some policemen have arrived.
       We want to find out what they are doing here,” he added
