The caucus is reportedly plotting to secure the deputy Senate position and according to the Source, the plan A is to first sponsor a PDP senator for the position of Senate president in the event that two or more APC lawmakers vie for the position.

The plan B if the first one fails is to support a APC senator from Gombe whom they believe could help them get the deputy Senate presidency position.

The group’s Planc C if the first two fails is to support an APC senator from Yobe state, who they believed would not act to adversely affect the group’s interests.

They Saraki group also resolved not to allow “the duo from Nasarawa and Borno State to step in the saddle as Senate president” as they are “dubbed as chronic loyalists of Buhari.”
