Were I Senate President Saraki, I Would Resign Today! by Nobody: 11:27am On Sep 23, 2015
By Ogaga Ifowodo
THE formal filing of charges against Senator Bukola
Saraki at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, not to speak
of the issuance of a bench warrant for his arrest for
failure to appear in court to take his plea, leaves
him with only one honourable course of action:
resignation in order to clear his name. The alleged
offences impeach very seriously his character and
integrity, qualities that no leader, if he or she is to
enjoy the respect and confidence of his or her peers
(as of the electorate) and be effective, cannot
afford to have under any shadow of doubt. Certainly
not in these hopeful days of change, the real
manifestation of which the people await with bated
breath.
It is a serious thing to ask an “elected” official to
resign his mandate, even though the office here is
really only a privilege. Thus, in addition to my
unqualified citizenship right to comment on matters
of (urgent) national interest, I proffer, unbidden,
further bona fides. I am a card-carrying member of
the All Progressives Congress. Had I succeeded in
my bid to represent the Isoko people in the House of
Representatives, I would be Saraki’s colleague in the
National Assembly. And I consider it a matter of
honour and duty that Saraki resign from the office
he occupies through means considered devious and
unbecoming by almost everyone except those boxed
into his Amen Corner.
Mostly, though, I make this call as the natural step
enjoined on Saraki by the lofty sentiments he
espoused and urged on his fellow senators in his
inaugural senate address. In just the first four
sentences, Saraki had uttered the words honour,
honoured, distinguished, respect, faith, trust,
humility, responsibility, and duty, repeating “humility”
and “honour” as if to be sure that we would notice

Its about time he resigned. His long drag will only bring the entire Senate into disrepute.

As it is, we are just coming out of the ruinous PDP enclave where the rich must not cry, at all, to one where they must cry if necessary

We already have a SHAMELESS Senate President!
It is even a big slap on our flag that he would be accompanied by some other Lawmakers and Ex-Governors to answer charges. And utterly most disheartening that some part of our suffering masses will be shouting "witch-hunting". And a big disgrace for another party(PDP), to even be against this(i don't care if APC or ACN has done same before).
We are just SHAMELESS in this country.
