Saraki is blackmailing Buhari with 2016 budget – Senator Marafa
Spokesperson of the Senate Unity Forum, Senator Kabir Marafa, has demanded that Senate President, Bukola Saraki, be suspended for blackmailing the presidency with the 2016 Appropriation Bill.
Marafa alleged that Saraki was behind the condemnation of the budget simply because of his ongoing trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
It would be recalled that Unity Forum has severally called for the resignation of the senate president over his trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
Marafa, who stated this on Saturday, also said that: “Honestly speaking if am to comment on the controversy that has been trailing the 2016 budget in the Senate, I will say it is all the work of the fifth columnists there.”
“We woke up one day and the senate president just came and said there is no budget, that the budget is stolen embarrassing everybody, but the following day the Speaker said his own was not stolen.”
“Next, they said the budget is doctored, next they said the budget is padded, next they said there are discrepancies all over the place we knew how they came into the leadership of the National Assembly or the Senate.”
“Was it a coincidence that the issue of padding and everything just came up after the supreme court said go and face your trial? Suddenly we started hearing that we cannot pass the budget as we promised because there are discrepancies and so on and so forth.”
“In a nutshell, all the noise about the budget are all about this issue of corruption trial or CCT trial that is all, no more no less.”
