Senator Adamu: Bukola Saraki A Drowning Man
The senator representing Nasarawa West in Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Adamu, has described Bukola Saraki as โa drowning manโ who is clutching at straws to salvage his dwindling reputation.
Adamu, while reacting to Sarakiโs recent allegation that he (Adamu) is โa mischievous liar,โ said the senate president actually โturned reality on his head because he (Saraki) is the actual liar.โ
Senator Saraki had, in a recent statement issued by his media aide, alleged that the former Nasarawa State governorโs support for President Muhammadu Buhari was half-hearted and only prompted by Adamuโs imminent prosecution for alleged corruption by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
โI have deliberately ignored the antics of Adamu, especially his constant media attack on me and the senate since the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) dusted his file on alleged case of corruption and also went ahead to arraign his son in court.
โHe feels the best way to play his self-survival game and ingratiate himself to the government in order to save his skin, is to be seen to be fighting Saraki,โ the senate president enthused.
However, reacting to Senator Sarakiโs allegations, Senator Adamu maintained that the Senate presidentโs scathing attack on him โonly goes to show the extent to which he is desperately struggling to salvage his bad situation
โHe is being dishonest about this EFCC talk simply because he hopes to smear me in order to burnish his own diminishing reputation.
โFor the avoidance of doubt, this case that was in the Federal High Court in Lafia, was discharged since June 28, 2016, and the senate president is very much aware of this.
โHowever, because he sees me as one of those who have contributed to the current heat heโs receiving, he mischievously turned the reality on its head.โ
