The newspaper said sources in the Senate stated that the plot to sack the Senate president was on three grounds.
1. One of the reasons is that senators had accused Lawan of refusing to release funds for their work.
According to them, committee works have almost been grounded as a result of Lawan’s sluggish approval process, pointing out that senators were struggling financially.
2. Another reason is that is Lawan’s unbridled support for President Muhammadu Buhari is causing embarrassment for senators.
3. The other ground for the plot against the Senate president was his criticism of the southern governors’ demand for restructuring.
