The Buhari Support Organisation, BSO, Enugu State chapter, has on Sunday, called on the Presidency, to shut down the National Assembly.
The group therefore, warned that if Nigerians failed to shut down the Senate, “the Senate as currently constituted, will not only shut down the strident anti-graft war being waged by President Muhammadu Buhari, but also our fledgling democracy.”
This came in reaction to the speech made by Senator Ike Ekweremadu, the Deputy Senate President, at the opening ceremony of the 28th Enugu State International Trade Fair, at the weekend.
In the speech, Ekweremadu, who represented the Senate at the event, had lamented that: “Sadly, our SME’s potentials are grossly underutilized and underdeveloped. They are stifled by a wide range of challenges, such as access to finance, poor infrastructure, lack of access to market, multiple taxation, inconsistencies in government policies, and official corruption, which have slowed down their very roles in our economic resuscitation.”
Reacting in a statement on Sunday, the BSO through Eze Chibueze, its Publicity Secretary, described the statement made by Ekweremadu, as contradictory.
Chibueze further stated that: “We are therefore, outraged that the same Senate in one breadth admitted that official corruption is the bane of our economic prosperity, and indeed is the bane of our collective development, whilst on the other breadth, is viciously waging unpatriotic offensive against President Buhari’s war against pervasive corruption in our land. Who kills his war commander?
“Otherwise, how come the Senate couldn’t trust the sound judgment of the C-in-C, who after perusing the Department of State Security DSS’ report, referred to him in December 2016, dismissed it and sent back Ibrahim Magu’s name for the second time for confirmation? To us, it is corruption fighting back.
“We are in a league with majority of patriotic Nigerians and foreign friends of our dear country, who believe that Ibrahim Magu is doing a fantastic job, which in the first place made Mr President to nominate him.
“Accordingly, we call on Mr President, not to succumb to arrant blackmail and propaganda being mounted by looters.”
“It’s our considered view that Magu’s recent exposure of the Paris Fund scam, in which the Senate President and some Governors were allegedly fingered, the petition against the Deputy Senate President on his table, and sundry corruption charges against high number of Senators, which incensed the rogue Senators. Hence Crucify Magu! Crucify Magu! Crucify Magu!
“Is it not the height of cruelty for any sane person to tamper with the Paris Club refund funds, which was recovered since 2005, and no President thought it wise to return the funds to the people since 2006, 20007, 2008, and up till 2017, when our dear President Muhammadu Buhari, directed that the funds be returned to the States for salary and pension arrears?
“We are therefore, appalled that the name of Senator Bukola Saraki, and cohorts, have featured again in their custom to circumvent the funds meant for masses”, Chibueze said.
“To this end, we challenge our dear compatriots to wake up, and accordingly call on compatriots to join us in this crusade. For when again shall we have an anti-graft President like Buhari?
