According to him, the decision to
have him removed as Chairman of the Forum was connected to his resistance of
change in the sequence of the 2019 general election.
In an interview with Channels
Television on Wednesday night, the Senator said “I was removed as chairman of
the Northern Senators Forum and had those baseless allegations leveled against
me because I rejected the decision of the Senate to reorder the sequence of
general elections in the country.
“But, I will stand by my
decision. I will resist being swayed by any decision the Senate takes regarding
my position.”
However, recall that
Spokesperson of the Senate, Abdullahi Sabi, and Senator Shehu Sani told
journalists that Senator Adamu was not being targeted because he disagreed with
the decision of the Senate to change the sequence of elections in the Electoral
Act. They insisted that he was sacked following allegations of mismanaging of
N70m belonging to the Forum.
Senator Adamu was one of the nine
senators who rejected the decision of the Senate to change the sequence of the
general election, arguing that it was targeted at President Muhammadu Buhari.
One of those who rejected the
decision with him, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has apologised to the Senate during
plenary.
