Senate President Bukola Saraki has reacted to the comment made by Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai, that he leads the worst senate house Nigeria has ever had.
Responding, Saraki described el-Rufai as a careless talker, saying he as
the Senate President couldn’t have announced the name of any defector
if they didn’t sign the letter communicating their defection to the PDP.
Speaking through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Yusuph Olaniyonu, the Senate President said, “El-Rufai
is a known careless talker. He is a man suffering from diarrhoea of the
mouth. You (one of our correspondents) report the National Assembly on a
daily basis. Is it possible for the name of a senator to be announced
as having defected without him or her signing the letter communicating
same to the Senate President?”
“We challenge el-Rufai to mention the name of any senator whose name was
announced without his or her consent. He (el-Rufai) is a divisive
element, an expert hero worshipper and noisemaker.”
“He worshipped (former President Olusegun) Obasanjo once the way he is
now worshipping (President Muhammadu) Buhari, and now he is on the
forefront of abusing the former President. It will soon be the turn of
Buhari to be rubbished by el-Rufai. He did the same to ex-Vice President
Atiku (Abubakar).”
