Senate President, Saraki, Reads Ministerial List: LIVE ON TVC / Were I Senate President Saraki, I Would Resign Today! / Bukola Saraki: I Will Be At The Tribunal Tomorrow (2) (3) (4)
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 http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/09/were-i-senate-president-saraki-i-would-resign-today/ 1 Like |

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

A Nigerian politician willingly resign from the lures and pecks of office. A senate president at that? Men, that will be a record achievement. |

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. |
