THE camp of Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, said on Sunday that it has uncovered another planned sponsored protests against the nation’s number three man, in a bid to force him to resign from office.
Sources close to the nation’s number three man said at the weekend, that some top politicians had at the weekend, concluded plans to mobilise protesters to storm Abuja and capmapign against Saraki’s continued stay in office.

Special Adviser to the Senate President on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, confirmed the move in a chat on Sunday, saying the alarm from his office, last week, started a similar protest march.
The media office of the Senate President had, last week, raised a similar alarm in the wake of the ongoing trial of the Senate President at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).
It was gathered that those behind the plot to mobilise protesters against Saraki had perfected their moves in Lagos and Kaduna at the weekend, by concluding on the need to mobilise some former Student Union leaders to lead the charge.

A source in the know said that the politicians behind the plot held a meeting with 16 ex-student union leaders to conclude on the strategies at the weekend.
It was gathered that the protest march was planned to take place in three locations— Lagos, Abuja and Kaduna.
The source said: “They were assured that police permit and security guarantee will be provided, so that the ex-students could swing into action and time the commencement of the protests to Monday, when the Saraki case at the CCT will resume.

“The student leaders were instructed to anchor their messages for demanding Saraki’s exit from the Senate Presidency on many issues, including the CCT case, the Panama Papers, the delay in passage of 2016 budget and need to get the Senate to support the Presidency.
“In their plan, when you load the messages, you will allow different members of the public to choose whichever message resonate with them. The plan is to bombard the Senate President and ensure that they give him a heavy push to see if he will fall.”

Saraki’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Olaniyonu, who also confirmed the development, said in a telephone interview, that the alarm raised by his office frustrated similar efforts last week.
He said there were new plots to create chaos and confusion in a bid to force the Senate President out of office.
He said: “Last week, we alerted members of the public about this constant plot by those who feel they can achieve through the back door what they failed to achieve on the floor of the Senate. 

“They are merely trying to create public disorder and short-circuit the ongoing judicial process. As far as we are concerned, the Senate President has not been found guilty by any competent court of law and he enjoys overwhelming support of a large majority of the senators. 
“To that end, he is not going to be stampeded out of office by those who sponsored candidates for the office last year and lost.”
