Sen. Godswill Akpabio (APC-Akwa Ibom) says Senate President Dr Bukola
Saraki and Speaker Mr Yakubu Dogara’s inability to deliver speech during
President Muhammadu Buhari’s budget presentation is a sign of weakness
urging them to resign peacefully.
Akpabio gave the warning, on
Wednesday, in an interview with journalists shortly after Buhari
presented the 2019 Appropriation Bill at the National Assembly in Abuja.

News men report that Saraki and Dogara were expected to make opening and
closing remarks respectively before and after the presentation. However,
the rowdy session at the presentation made it impossible for the two
presiding officers to deliver their speech. Reacting to the development,
Akpabio, a former governor of Akwa Ibom state, said Saraki and Dogara
could not speak because they were no longer qualified to do so.

“They really couldn’t talk because they shouldn’t be sitting on those seats
since they now belong to a minority party. “When I was in the minority
party, I was the minority leader; I wasn’t the Senate President. “So I
will expect that what has happened today should be a wake up call on the
Speaker and the Senate President to resign peacefully,” he said. On the
rowdy session, he said such action was a characteristic of a parliament
all over the world. “But you could also notice that the majority party,
the APC, showed its strength. There was a lot of quietness; there was a
lot of silence whenever the President was making key points. “The rest
was just normal nuances of politics,” he said.(NAN)
