BREAKING: Great Tension!!! Senate President, Bukola Saraki, To Write Resignation by midolian(m): 5:05pm On Mar 30, 2017
Senate President, Bukola Saraki, this time around might be forced by the Presidency to write his resignation letter, or be impeached, as President Muhammdu Buhari begins to study the letter written by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, indicting the Senate President and his Aides, for laundering up to N3.5 billion from the Paris Club loan refund, Post-Nigeria has gathered.

In the report, the EFCC narrated how Saraki, using his Deputy Chief of Staff and other Aides, laundered N3.5 billion that he allegedly received from the Paris Club loan refund to State Governors.
“As I speak to you, the Presidency has concluded plans to treat ‘Saraki’s Bleep up’. The evidence tendered by the EFCC against the Senate President is alarming. This is not like the CCT trial. This time around, pressure is on him to write his resignation letter, or Buhari will have to use his Presidential might on him”, a highly placed Presidential source told post-Nigeria.

He added: “If Saraki is wise, I expect him to have started writing his resignation letter now, to avoid impeachment. Please for your information, Senate Ali Ndume, has been tipped by the Presidency to start the impeachment process.
”The Presidency has decided to fight the war. The National Assembly must be cleansed just like the Judiciary. The time is now, and the Presidency has no option than to start with Saraki.”

I can remember the days of David Mark when Nig senate was a respectable institution. Today, A.P.C members have turned it to playing ground. Every Nigerian is even making mockery of NASS since APC govt to into power. I am always skeptical about the future of this country.
