Embattled Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki has been called upon to resign from office. Making the call in Abuja on Friday, the Northern Ethnic Nationalities Unity Congress, NENUC said that Saraki was dragging the office of the Senate President in the mud.
The call came on the heels of the bench warrant issued by the Code of Conduct Tribunal , CCT for the arrest of the Senate President over allegations of false declaration of assets dating back to 2003.
In a chat with newsmen yesterday, the National President of NENUC, Mr Bako Benjamin said that the group found it disgusting that Dr Saraki has chosen to seek court protection rather than come before the tribunal to clear his name.
He urged the Senate President to present himself before the Code of Conduct Tribunal as seeking to hide under court protection is an admission of guilt.
His words ;
“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.
“Seeking protection from the law courts is sending a strong signal that he (Saraki) has something to hide.”
NENUC went on to give Saraki three days to resign from office as Senate President. Bako Benjamin said the group will initiate impeachment proceedings against Saraki if he fails to heed the call.
