He said though the ruling party had been planning to impeach the Senate President, it was better his constituents retired him politically from the Red Chamber.
Apparently referring to Saraki, Oshiomhole said:
“People who came to the senate with less than a 100,000 votes and began to hold the country to ransom, their own people have recalled them home.
“While we were saying that we will impeach them, their people said they would rather bury them politically. Now, they are out. It shows the power of democracy, it’s a leveler, an equalizer. You cannot be bigger than the people. Our people say that a politician is likened to an Okro tree. It should never grow taller than the person who planted it.
“And those who plant the political okro tree are the Nigerian people. I think, a couple of lessons have been learnt. This game is for those who are humble, those who believe in the people. There are no dynasties, the people are the sovereign.

“When they borrow you the power, remember, it is only lend to you, and it will expire, and it will require renewal. If you don’t behave, thy will remove you.”
