Aisha Yesufu ‘attacks’ Saraki over extension of NASS plenary

The co-convener of the BringBackOurGirls, BBOG, advocacy group on Monday lambasted the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki over the decision of the National Assembly to extend the resumption of its plenary.

Yesufu said Saraki wanted to rule Nigeria but wasn’t interested in “putting Nigeria first.”

The activist stressed that Saraki was putting Nigeria on hold while he goes about his Presidential campaign tour.

Recall that the clerk of the National Assembly, M.A. Sani-Omolori in a statement yesterday had announced the shift in resumption of plenary: “This is to inform all Distinguished Senators and Honourable Members that resumption of plenary session earlier scheduled for Tuesday, 25th September has been postponed to Tuesday 9th October due to the activities of the primaries of the political parties.

“All Distinguished Senators and Honourable members are expected to resume plenary session by 10 am on the 9th of October, please.”

Reacting to the extension, Yesufu wrote: “What the heck is going on? Is the Nation put on hold for Bukola Saraki @bukolasaraki to have time to go round on his Presidential ambition tour?

“He wants to rule over Nigeria but not interested in putting Nigeria first?”
