Resign or Face Trial, Federal Government tells Senate President Saraki, and Deputy Ekweremadu

The Nigerian Federal Government hit back at the Senate President Bukola Saraki and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, over statements they made after they were arraigned before the law court for allegedly forging the Standing Rules of the upper legislative chamber.

The government said it would be better for Senate President, Saraki and Deputy, Ekweremadu to resign or face trial.

Senator Saraki in his statement clearly insinuated that Mr. President is not in control of his administration and that a cabal now runs the federal administration, in which the presidency replied by saying there is no cabal in his administration.

“On the part of Senator Ekweremadu, he insists that President Buhari is exhibiting dictatorial tendencies that can derail the Nigerian democracy.”
