How Buhari Shut The Mouth Of ‘blood Suckers’ In Nigeria – Northern Group / "Resign Now", Abdulmumin Jibrin To Buhari / Should Saraki Resign Over Forgery And False Asset Declaration Cases? (2) (3) (4)
Northern Group To Saraki: Resign Now by januzaj(m): 7:09am On Sep 19, 2015 |
The Northern Ethnic Nationalities Unity Congress
(NENUC) yesterday called for the resignation of the
Senate President Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki.
The call came just as the Code of Conduct Bureau
(CCB) secured a bench warrant for the arrest of the
embattled Senate President by the CCB Tribunal
over allegations of false declaration of assets dated
back to 2003.
The group said the Senate President should resign
before he drags the image and reputation of the
office he presently occupies further in the mud.
Speaking with reporters yesterday, the National
President and Convener of the group, Mr Bako
Benjamin, said it is disgusting that the Senate
President would rather be seeking court’s
protection than going before the anti graft agency
to clear his name of the charges.
“Let the Senate President come to equity with
clean hands. Let him defend himself against all the
charges levelled against him in the spirit of the
new wind of change blowing across the country,”
Benjamin said.
He said the anti-corruption war spearheaded by
the President Muhammadu Buhari administration
would be futile if people like the Senate President
continue to seek protection from the law courts
rather than presenting themselves for the acid test.
Benjamin, who noted that the recourse to the court
itself is an admission of guilt, said: “Seeking
protection from the law courts is sending a strong
signal that he (Saraki) has something to hide.”
The group, he said, has therefore given the Senate
President a three-day ultimatum to honourably
resign to prevent impeachment proceedings
against him for his eventual removal from the
exalted office.
NENUC said Saraki’s continued stay in office is
“capable of sending wrong signals to the
international community and pose a huge question
mark on President Buhari’s commitment to ridding
the nation of corruption.
He said NENUC would not hesitate to mobilise
other well-meaning Nigerians to march on the
National Assembly in protest should the Senate
President refuse to honourably resign from office
within reasonable time.

Should Saraki be found culpable following legal and constitutional means, I guess he will naturally quit the seat. Why is the whole issue getting unneccesarily politicized? There are many Sarakis in the system and purging them out will require tact and sense in order for the polity not to be overheated as Nigerians tend to sway too much towards sentiments on issues of politics. Saraki could just be the big scapegoat on this anti corruption war. |

This is the best statement coming from this group compared to the statement that came earlier from the SE. My question to those supporting Saraki and referring this as witch hunt is if committed the offence or not other FG should hunt all the Witches in Saraki 's life and others that in power that have erred in the past !!! |
