Senate President Bukola Saraki
The
Network for Justice, a civil society organization, has condemned the
postponement of the ministerial screening by the Senate, saying the act
smacks of political mischief designed to delay the trial of Senate
President Bukola Saraki.
The group’s Executive Director, Dr. Abdullahi Bala Gaduwama, made the
remark yesterday in a statement in Kano, stressing that the postponement
of the exercise was a ploy to shield Saraki from appearing at the Code
of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) for the continuation of his trial next week.
The activist demanded the immediate resumption of the exercise and
warned the Senate against joking with the future of the country.
“It is on record that the 7th Senate outrageously passed 40 bills in 40
minutes simply because it served their interest to do so and the 8th
Senate is now telling us that they cannot complete the screening of 16
ministerial nominees whose names were released two weeks ago by the
President,” Gaduwama stated.
