The continued stay of Dr Bukola Saraki as Senate President is hurting the integrity of the upper chamber.
This is the opinion of a former Minister of State for Education, Mr Kenneth Gbagi. He called on the Senate President to resign in the light of corruption charges preferred against him by the Federal Government at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
Gbagi who spoke with pressmen in Abuja on Wednesday said that with Saraki as Senate President, the public will not have confidence in any actions taken by the upper house.
The ex Minister and one time Legal Aide Council Chairman said ;
“We have a problem in Nigeria where we don’t have people of honor, dignity and integrity. The mere fact that the Senate President has lied by doing anticipatory declaration indicates that he has no business being a senate president living with tax payers money.
“Nigerians will not have faith in anything that comes out of his senate that is shared or presented by that kind of person. The entire international community will not believe in the passage of any Bill under his leadership.
“He (Saraki) cannot be seen to sit in that house now as Senate President because whatever he does questions the integrity of the entire senate."
