Senator Bukola Saraki is facing a serious battle, regarding holding on
to his Senate presidency seat. Apart from Senator Buhari who advised the
Senate president to resign, the Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders
(CACOL), called on the Senate President, Bukola Saraki to tow the path
of honour by resigning as the President of the Nigerian Senate or be
ready to be disgraced out of office.
The Oyo state Senator, while speaking on the current happenings in the
country, as well as revealing his views about the recent charges of
false declaration of assets and money laundering brought against the
Senate president in his Ibadan residence earlier on Saturday, April 9,
he said:
“I hate to talk about
personalities but on issues, but on this matter as a person I would have
done the same thing the Prime Minister of Iceland did, I will resign
from that position whether I am right or wrong.”
On the state of the
nation, he stated that, the APC-led administration of President
Muhammadu Buhari, has the grand plan of changing Nigeria from a good to a
better country. He said the country will regain its lost glory very
soon. The Oyo state born Senator also gave an assurance to all citizens
in the country, saying that the Buhari-led government will do all it
could, to fulfill the promises it made to Nigerians.
While tendering an
apology on behalf of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), on
the current economic crunch, he said:“We are very sorry about the
current situation of things in the country, nobody ever envisaged that
things were that bad in the country under the previous administration
but we have seen it now and we will surely fix it. We understand what
Nigerians are passing through, and we won’t make it harder on them till
we solve the problems, what we promised Nigerians is safe landing and we
shall surely deliver on our promises.”
Senator Buhari also
spoke on the lingering fuel crisis. He said the solution to fuel
shortage is an urgent deregulation of the downstream sector. He stated:
“We are in this mess because of our poor maintenance culture, if we had
maintained the existing refineries in the country, we would not have
relied on imported refined products for sustenance.”
