– Some Nigerians in Diaspora have said that it is pertinent for the Senate President, Bukola Saraki to resign

– These Nigerians under the Nigerians in Diaspora Monitoring group (NDMG) gave the Senate President 10 days ultimatum to resign

– The group said the position of Senate President has been tainted beyond imagination with the endless scandals around Saraki

Some Nigerians in diaspora have offered to help the embattled Senate President, Bukola Saraki write his resignation letter over his ongoing trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

The Nigerians under the umbrella of Nigerians in Diaspora Monitoring Group (NDMG) on Sunday, April 24, said it will gladly help Saraki write his resignation letter if he has no idea on how to do that.

The group gave the Senate President 10 days to resign as leader of the eighth assembly.

The group’s offer came at a walk held by thousands of Nigerians living in London.

The participants of the walk marched around the buildings housing the Nigerian high commission in the United Kingdom.

Also, in a speech presented by Onyilo Adeka, the group said Saraki, whom he accused of entrenching corruption, must resign immediately.

Adeka said the position of Senate President has been tainted beyond imagination with the endless scandals around current holder.

“Bukola Saraki’s position as Senate President is no longer tenable and he should quit immediately allowing to Nigeria make progress.

“We urge constituents of the various Senatorial Districts to closely watch where the senators they elected are pitching their tents in this show of shame with a view to using the instrumentality of recall or voting them out in the next election,” Adeke said.

To back the call for Saraki’s resignation, the group gave 10 reasons why Bukola Saraki must resign as the Senate President.


Read the 10 reason below:

1. His failure to declare his assets or falsifying any declaration he did made is a violation of the Code of Conduct for public officers as spelt out in the constitution.  A lawbreaker has no business leading the nation’s law making arm.

2. Revelations of the Panama papers about his offshore assets, which were not declared by the way, are enough reason for Saraki to have done the needful. His co-traveller in the Panama affair and former Icelandic Prime Minister, Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson, has demonstrated what a man does when he compromises his honour but Saraki failed to understand the concept. In this he may want to peruse the National Assembly records for the names of Evan/Evans Enwerem, Chuba Okadigbo and Adolphus Wabara.

3. The truly innocent has nothing to fear in clearing his name before a court but instead of defending himself against the Code of Conduct Tribunal charges he had engaged on an endless trip of judgement shopping as he approached one court after the other, not to clear himself, but to block his trial from holding. In addition to the many charges against him he has endlessly abused the judicial system. We are now the butt of online jokes that say the only court Saraki has not approached to stop his trial is the Basketball Court.

4. The purchase of exotic SUVs for members of the chamber he presides over (in addition to being the chairman of the National Assembly) is a clear indication of his unremorseful attitude and the disdain in which he holds Nigerians. It is enough proof that corruption and wasteful public expenditure are an integral part of his DNA as a public office holder and the fact that the public outcry prior to the act fell on deaf ears confirms he has no iota of regard for what citizens want.

5. Saraki has converted his trial into an avenue for wasting tax payers’ money as the business of the National Assembly is crippled each time he has to appear at the CCT. He has denied mobilizing his colleagues to following him to the trial venue in solidarity but what he has not proven is him telling the other senators to continue with what they were elected and paid to do instead of embarking on their charade. It will be prudent that Saraki resigns and faces his trial as an individual while the other lawmakers face their national assignment without distraction.


6. On top of the outrage the charges against him are generating among Nigerians, Saraki upped the insult to Nigerians by attempting to change the goal post when he and his colleagues futilely attempted to amend the laws, the Code of Conduct Bureau Act and Code of Conduct Tribunal Act, under which he was being tried. Even it was another top politician being tried; attempting to change the laws during the trial has all the hallmark of criminality.

7. In the almost one year he has been the President of the Senate, Saraki has not demonstrated concurrence with the desire and determination of Nigerians to tackle corruption head on. Almost all the Senate/National Assembly action he has presided over tend to be in favour of entrenching corruption.

8. The budget fiasco is confirmation that Saraki is out to strangulate the nation for political leverage. A man that can compromise the well-being of 170 million citizens to save his political career is not to be trusted with the office that Saraki currently occupies.

9. Saraki’s persistence in office in the face of the damning indictments against him is blocking Nigeria’s progress with international partners. They cannot trust that a man with baggage this much presiding over parliament will willingly domesticate treaties that have anti- corruption components. Many agreements between Nigerian and other countries are consequently awaiting activation as these nations bid time to see what we do with her legislative arm.

10. Saraki’s several and latest attempts at using the media to plead political persecution as the reason for his compromised position are unacceptable. His explanations, which should have been saved for the courts, did not factor in all the above enumerated reasons. The combination of all these reasons is enough ground for Saraki to immediately resign and we so demand.

The Senate President is facing a 13-count charge for falsely declaring his assets before the Code of Conduct Bureau.

He is currently being tried by the Code of Conduct Tribunal under the chairmanship of Danladi Umar who has just been exonerated by the Economic and Financial Crimes commission (EFCC).

Saying Saraki is corrupt is like saying water is wet. On top of that, he's as shameless as the word itself... I think he also needs to be educated on the benefit he stands to gain if he resigns...
MY SYMPATHY.

Saraki has become a Cancer in current govt. He is a plague that need to be eradicated like Ebola virus, lassa fever and bird flu.

So he's no more a progressive and an agent of change??

When he was bankrolling the dullard with looted funds, you all were egging him on and hailing him. Yeye dey smell.

Nigerians in diaspora should know that the typical Nigerian politician have no iota of integrity ( Saraki inclusive).

Our politicians know very well that Nigerians are aware that they are highly dishonest when it comes to the handling of public funds. They steal, kill and destroy whenever the occasion arises.

They alter the laws of the land to Favour them in the midst of their nefarious activities.

These politicians are SIT-TIGHT LEADERS, who never retreats or surrender their esteemed positions when they are caught in the wrong side of the law. They would rather die there.

Even Satan was once in d same party with God. He use to worship and sing praises to God. And God elevated him ahead of all d angels ( Some christian believe except angel micheal who was his equal or slightly higher than him).

But today, Lucifer is d number one enemy of God.

So what matters at every point in time is interest and goals. Saraki does not want the progress of Buhari. While Buhari is tryimg to reduce corruption, Saraki is promoting corruption just to remain as senate president. he is a thief. Someone who went into d middle of d night to steal his mandate as senate president is like lucifer. And deserve to be destroyed in d bottomless pit of hell just like God will do to lucifer.

Saraki is to APC what Lucifer is to God.

Saraki has forgotten that those who lives in glass houses don't throw stones..... it's a shame to the Nigerian parliament that he still the Senate president.

You people dey long tins ooo...Saraki to resign! Abeg this's not western world.Even if the law successfully kicked him out,he would definitely appeal...nah to die there.Our legislature needs overhauling big time,until then,still the same story in Nigeria...bunch of nonentities in our senate and rep... There should b criteria for electing a senator not on political ground alone!

But wait o, I believe Saraki needs no helping, not after that well written open letter I saw yesterday.

Saraki is to APC whay Lucifer is to God.

Abegi, your analogy is very wrong.

So APC is like god now?

At first, Lucifer was good, Everyone knows that. Was Saraki ever good??... Didn't APC and their supporters know that he was a chronic looter??... Didn't they know what he did at Société generale bank??... Didn't they know what he did in Kwara??

They did not know he was corrupt when he was going about the dullard campaigning, they didn't know he was corrupt when he was contributing financially and morally to the growth of APC, All of a sudden the guy played a fast one on Buhari and Tinubu and all hell is let loose.

APC and their supporters are clownish jokers.

Who is sponsoring these Nigerians abroad?

U missed d point completely. It is not about Good or Bad. it is about interest. Even satan problem with God is all about interest. Satan wanted power and authority that God doesnt want him to have. So satan rebelled with some angels as supporters. Saraki case is not different. He wanted position d party didnt want him to have. So he rebelled with some APC senators in support just like d angels who supported satan.

All d bad tins satan do today, is to continue to maintain relevance and authority and followership. Just as saraki is promoting corruption in d senate to remain in power as senate president. Inducing senators with cars just to maintain his artificial followership. Tell me how is it different from satan analogy?

APC is a party of good, bad, evil people just like any other party in d world. But what is important is dat as long as you align with program and good agenda of d party there is no problem. You dont have to sabotage d party.

Just d same way heaven will be made up of thieves, Murderers, fornicators etc who align with Jusus christ, and got unmerited favour to make heaven. While others who did exactly d same sin wont make heaven because they did not align with Jesus christ.

i am not trying to Blasphem here. i am only trying to make u understand reality. There is a different between a thief who knows when to hide himself from police and d thief who dares d police by saying you cant do me anything. Those two thieves can never be treated d same. That is life. You cant do anything about it.

Too many crimes for one man. Body no dey heavy this saraki sef?

There is no need for giving Ultimatum..this man won't resign. He is too power hungry to do the honourable...Just help him do the needful..And make it brief biko...I hate letters like dele momodu's..

I soo love this mehn!

saraki's action so far has not embarrassed democracy...but has confirmed my comment some time ago that democracy was never meant for the blacks. Democracy has never made anything better in this we country, if we must be true to ourselves.

I curse the day we changed from khakhi to Agbada.
