The spokesman for the Senate, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, has declared that Senate President Godswill Akpabio will not resign from his position.

Adaramodu was reacting to the demand by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, that Akpabio should immediately step down following the suspension of Bauchi Central Senator Abdul Ningi.

The Senate had suspended Ningi for three months over his claims of N3.7 trillion in budget padding.


This led to the PDP demanding that Akapbio step down and allow for an immediate investigation into the allegation.

Reacting, Adaramodu, who is the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, told journalists on Thursday: “The PDP has elevated chicanery to statecraft and fatally failed in their sordid attempt to hoodwink the unsuspecting public on the ineffectual but spurious allegations of budget padding.

“The party’s ludicrous call for the resignation of Senator Godswill Akpabio as the Senate President is unthinkable and shows the party as a massaging balm for falsehood and immoral legislative outbursts.

“Akpabio will not resign and has no intention to resign at any time because he has not committed any wrongdoing to warrant resignation.”

MEGA4BILLION:
The question is, was the budget padded?
Ningi is no saint, he is only shouting because he was cheated in the sharing formula

gabbytabby:
Resign ko resting ni sore losers and enemies of Nigeria

If them want more money they can raise a supplementary budget kwo so why would they need to pad.

The biggest thief and Dubai landlord is pointing finger. May God help us.

In saner climes( for those of you that hate this word, we will continue to remind you that Nigeria still has a long way to go) an independent investigator would have been appointed by the justice ministry to look into such allegations. But here, the sharing formula has already been agreed on, so nothing will happen and the money would be “chopped” recklessly. These are the monies when converted to dollars diminishes the value of the naira and not the abokiis in zone 4.

In your saner climes the biggest heist is taking place. AIPAC bribes the politicians with less than 20m dollars and they vote to transfer 4billion dollars of American taxes to Isreal every year which is 14billion dollars this year.

All the facilities they don’t provide for their American citizen their American taxes is providing it for Isreal citizens.

KIDfurniture:
