Two senators, Abdullahi Danbaba and Isa Hama
Misau from Sokoto and Bauchi States have
condemned the statements credited online to
their colleague, Adamu Abdullahi (Nasarawa) in
which the latter claimed the Senate President,
Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, “merely collated the
list of Senators he feels are not happy with the
party (APC) and announced them as Defectors”,
and said he was only spewing forth lies
unbecoming of an elder.
Sen. Abdullahi Adamu
The two Senators in a statement signed by them
stated that Abdullahi thought all Nigerians were
dumb by saying names of Senators were just
announced when in actual fact the concerned
Senators are individual political leaders in their
different constituencies and were present on the
floor when their names were read out from a
letter signed by all of them.
“People like Senator Adamu have become
agents of instability and division in the Senate.
This same Senator who was genuflecting before
Saraki to get a Senate committee chairmanship
at the beginning of the Eighth Senate suddenly
made a turn-around to become a lap-dog of the
Presidency because he is afraid of his past. It is
public knowledge that the axe of the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is
dangling on him and one of his sons.
“How possible is it for somebody to just
announce the change of party on behalf of a
Senator without the legislator concerned giving
his consent. We can assure him that more
Senators are preparing to leave the sinking ship
of APC and Senator Adamu Abdullahi will have
more fabrications to do.
“It is surprising that a man of Adamu’s caliber
will say that the only defecting Senators are
from Kwara. We wonder if Senators Danbaba
(Sokoto), Isa Misau and Suleiman Nazif (Bauchi),
Monsurat Sunmonu (Oyo), Barnabas Gemade
(Benue), Ubali Shittu (Jigawa), Suleiman Hunkuyi
(Kaduna), Usman Nafada (Gombe), Rabiu
Kwakwanso (Kano), Abdulazeez Nyako
(Adamawa), and Dino Melaye (Kogi) are also
from Kwara State.
“Senator Adamu is struggling to save his skin
but he should at least care about the credibility
of the information he is giving out. At his level,
he should refrain from circulating fake news”,
Senators Danbaba and Misau stated.
