The lawmaker representing
Nasarawa West in the National Assembly, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, has accused
Bukola Saraki, the Senate president, of using his office to promote his selfish
interests.
According to Adamu, his
antagonism towards the Senate President had to do with Saraki’s hypocritical
attitude of driving personal agenda under the guise of strengthening personal
institutions.
In an interview, Adamu told Daily
Trust: “As far as I’m concerned, I don’t have anything against him. I’m not
God. God made him President of the Senate. Whatever the circumstances that he
followed, as a Muslim I believe that it was God that made him. It wouldn’t have
been possible if God did not will it. As a faithful, I took it to be so and
till date that’s my attitude to him, and he knows it.
“What I do not accept is that as
he always says, and as most people say when it is convenient for them, “Use
good reasons to do bad things.”
“People talk about strengthening
institutions; I love the idea but I have a terrible allergy for people using
public institutions to serve themselves instead of public good. And as long as
I’m able, I will continue to protest this.
“Today, they say I’m supporting
Buhari; yes I do. Buhari is a person who is under oath as the president of this
country and I’m under oath to support the president of my country as a senator.
Yes, I can differ, but where I differ there are attitudes that I will adopt. I
can’t reduce myself to some kind of garage boy, grandstanding in the senate.”
