AHEAD of the expected judgment of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, following yesterday’s commencement of his trial over false assets declaration when he held sway as governor of Kwara State, Senate President, Bukola Saraki may throw in the towel by resigning from his position any movement from now......
In other not to be humiliated while on the throne, some senators including those who had vowed to remain with him to the end of his trial at the anti-graft court, yesterday, asked the Senate President to consider the resignation option so as to save the Senate, as an institution.
Vanguard gathered that the option was thrown to him at a special meeting held by a group of some loyal senators, who followed him to his Maitama residence, shortly after the end of yesterday’s trial at the court. But as Saraki is considering the option, senators of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, appeared to be at loggerhead with their counterparts in the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, over the Senate President’s successor.
While the APC senators are insisting on producing Saraki’s successor, those of the PDP are favorably disposed to anointing one of their own, a development that has further polarized the Red Chamber. A senator of the PDP fold, who spoke to Vanguard late yesterday, but on condition that his identity would not be mentioned, said Saraki was given the option of resigning basically to save the institution of the legislature. ‘”I can confirm to you that at a special meeting held yesterday, we asked the Senate President to consider the option of resignation.
“We believe that doing so would preserve the institution of the Senate, “he said, refusing to speak further. Asked whether the Senate President was considering the resignation option, the lawmaker said ‘” this was just thrown at him this evening. We believe that he would do the right thing.'”.
Meanwhile, names of senators Abdullahi Adamu, representing Nasarawa West from the APC and Suleiman Adokwe of the PDP were being touted as possible replacements of the Senate President to press time.

ReplyDeleteI don't know why I like Saraki,maybe his unassuming smile or intelligence. But sentiments aside...menn,If he is guilty,he has to go down for it.
ReplyDeleteA witch hunt is valid when your hands are clean and you are being framed,but if evidence of money laundering is there,witch hunting as a word should not be used. A crime is a crime.
If u knw aw saraki pack kwara money aswear u ll 8 him...stayd in kwara for 4 of his 8 years as govnor n d only tin e did for d 8 years is build 1 1km bridge
DeleteMy Tot exactly! I think am gonna second u on dis

DeleteNo,apart from that attractive smile...he is handsome too.
Delete@Shola..why will I want to hate him when I'm not about to rent my heart out for politicians.
Why are you people too serious here? So if I had typed,disgusting man,useless man...will it add more to his prison term? Tell me! The most important thing is that the guilty must go to jail. Leave how I see him physically,okay? Thank you.
The other one down there,i don't know you...so no comment.
You know this@Aliu
Handsome Saraki.
@anonymous 11:17, it appears your petulance and eagerness to "attack" a another has compromised your sense of reason. What's offensive about Iphie's comments? Is it wrong to appreciate the looks of an alleged offender? Perhaps you were too blinded with bile to read the concluding part of her comments where she wrote "if evidence of money laundering is there, witch hunting as a word should not be used. A crime is a crime.?
DeleteCould it be you don't even understand the point she tried to pass across? Because most people who rush to throw insulting words at someone else's comments not remotely directed at them, usually don't understand what they so readily jump to criticise. So let me accord you the benefit of doubt and break it down to the most elementary stage. Iphie means that in spite of his innocent smile and his intelligence, if evidence exists linking him to money laundering, he should be punished because a crime is a crime which makes the word "witch hunting" unjustified. In other words, a person who is has been less than honest can not say he/she is being witch hunted because that term is only used when someone innocent of an offence is being oppressed or people are trying all they can to destroy that person's reputation.
Don't be pedestrian in your reasoning. There's nothing wrong in appreciating the looks of a criminal especially when you don't allow it cloud your objectivity. Do some mental push-ups to renew your mind.
Standing Ovaaa----tion@Ronalda.
DeleteRespect ma'am.
Wisdom is profitable to direct.

Bukola Saraki has always been a thief. He smiles as he steals. A Smooth deceiver. And very heartless. An apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. He learnt from one of the best-his father. Its wishful thinking that he will resign. He's not that honorable at all. If he was honorable at all, he wouldn't have stolen money in the first instance..
ReplyDeleteHe is like the tortoise who will say..."I wont go..Not until I am disgraced..."
I shake my head for this country. I was reading in the papers yesterday that the same charges against Saraki once applied to Tinubu and he was discharged. The court admitted to wrongfully discharging Tinubu. Just wondering 'what is good for the Goode is also good for the gander'. I cannot come and add Saraki's case to my headache. If he likes he should resign and if he likes he should stay there. Even if all his loot is recovered, the common man won't even feel it. This country where nothing is straightforward. Abeg.
ReplyDeleteShola, must you type the way you pronounce things???
ReplyDeleteRazz girl!
Saraki I leave GOD to judge u
