A civil society organization, the Network for Justice, yesterday alleged that the postponement of the ministerial screening by the Senate is a political mischief designed to delay the trial of Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki.
Executive Director of the group, Dr. Abdullahi Bala Gaduwama, who made this remark in a statement issued in Kano, claimed that the postponement of the exercise was meant to shield Saraki from appearing at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, for the continuation of his trial next week.
He demanded the immediate resumption of the exercise and warned the Senate against joking with the future of the country.
“It is on record that the 7th Senate outrageously passed 40 bills in 40 minutes simply because it served their interest to do so and the 8th Senate is now telling us that they cannot complete the screening of 16 ministerial nominees whose names were released two weeks ago by the President,” Gaduwama stated.
