A member of the Adamawa State House of Assembly representing Jada/Mbulo Constituency, Alhaji Alhassan Umar, has said the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, is not only a threat to the future of their party, the All Progressive Congress, but has also formed a strong opposition within the party.

Umar, who spoke to journalists on Tuesday in Yola, alleged that Saraki had formulated multiple plans to frustrate the government of President Muhammadu Buhari to the detriment of Nigerians.

The lawmaker pointed out that the unnecessary crisis over the confirmation of Ibrahim Magu as the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission was a grand design by Saraki to frustrate the war against corruption by the present administration.

He said: “Senate President Bukola Saraki is an opposition within APC.

“He personalises everything about government policies.

“He is running the Senate as his private estate.

“He poses serious political threat to the future of the APC if the party’s national leadership does not call him to order.”

Umar maintained that the action of the Senate dominated by APC members is anti-government and that their continuous opposition to the President’s decisions will not bring development to the country.

He urged the senators not to personalise issues of national interest and that they should put aside their political differences and work for the growth of democracy.

He urged the Senate to confirm Magu, pointing out that the EFCC under the present chairman has been active and that the tempo must be maintained in order to cage the menace of corruption.
