A
former Kwara State governor, Bukola Saraki has been deemed a cog in the
current wheel of change by lawmaker of the green chamber.
Senate President Bukola Saraki
Adamawa State House of Assembly member, Alhaji Alhassan Umar,
representing Jada/Mbulo constituency, yesterday said that Senate
President Bukola Saraki, was not only a threat to the future of the All
Progressive Congress, APC, but also to the country’s democracy.
Umar said this while speaking to newsmen yesterday in Yola where he
alleged that Saraki had put in place multiple plans to frustrate the
government of President Muhammadu Buhari to the detriment of Nigerians.
According to Umar, the unnecessary crisis over the confirmation of
Ibrahim Magu as the substantive Chairman of the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC, and the refusal to confirm the Resident
Electoral Commissioners, RECs, was a grand design by the Senate
President to frustrate the war against corruption and derail the
country’s democracy.
He said, “The Senate President is an opposition within APC because he personalizes everything about government policies.
“He is running the senate as his private estate. He poses
serious political threat to the future of the APC if the party
leadership does not call him to order.”
The lawmaker insisted that the action of the Upper Chamber
dominated by the ruling APC members was essentially anti-government and
that their continuous opposition to the president’s decisions will not
bring development to the country.
He, however, called on the Senate to confirm Magu as EFCC chairman
lounging out that the anti-graft agency under him had been active and
that the tempo must be maintained in order to effectively curb
corruption.
