FORMER Senate Leader, Senator Ali Ndume, APC, Borno South has expressed his annoyance towards the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, saying that he regretted supporting him to emerge as the Senate number one citizen, June 9, 2015.<\/p>\n
The Senator, speaking Friday night on a Channels Television programme Hard Copy accused Saraki of targeting those who oppose him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to be individualistic about it. We put the leadership there for Saraki; if you want me to be specific about it, and then it turns out to be another thing. We have Senator\u2019s President now, instead of Senate President.<\/p>\n
\u201d Ndume who noted that his relationship with Saraki went sour because of his love for the truth, however, maintained that he has a cordial relationship with his colleagues at the upper legislative chamber, adding, \u201cI speak the truth a lot even if I\u2019m alone, and I stand by it. We started with the issue of Magu, I was with you on national TV and that is history now, then we came out and the second issue was that of the car importation, and the issue of Dino Melaye\u2019s certificate and then I was shockingly suspended for 180 days and it was not the committee that recommended that.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy colleagues did not know about the report that was used to suspend me illegally and unconstitutionally for 180 days. That\u2019s why I went quietly to court and you see the response of my people then. \u201cIt is not fair for one among equal to take himself up, and use, take advantage of the gavel to rule instead of to lead, instead of to preside, that is what the constitution says.<\/p>\n
