Senator Ben Murray Bruce is alleging that the All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers are planning to appoint Senator Godswill Akpabio as the Senate President.
The lawmaker representing Bayelsa East made this allegation in an interview on Channels Television Breakfast Programme, Sunrise Daily.
Bruce said he had reached out to the US embassy, the British embassy and will reach out to other European countries to revoke the visas of Senator Godswill Akpabio, his wife and children including other leaders that orchestrated this seige.
“The plan is to allow APC senators entry. Senators who will install Akpabio as the Senate President and impeach Saraki and Ekweremadu,” Murray Bruce said.
He, however, noted that the plot by the APC lawmakers will not stand, noting that the PDP has majority members.
He said the PDP lawmakers would resist any attempt by the APC senators to effect any leadership change in the Senate.
“It can’t stand. They do not have the numbers. I have been in touch with Britain, Canada, and requested from the management that the visa of Akpabio and all the other senators involved in this be revoked.
“So that their request to go to London, Washington, Paris, Berlin will be revoked.”
