Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has reacted to the letter allegedly written to him, as claimed by the embattled former Chairman of the Pensions Reform Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina.
Recall, that Maina had claimed to have written a letter to Saraki, urging the Senate to give him an opportunity of fair hearing.
The letter, dated June 19, 2015, one week after the inauguration of the present Senate, indicated that the fugitive ex-Pensions boss returned to the country shortly after President Muhammadu Buhari’s inauguration, on May 29, 2015.
Saraki who reacted to the said letter on Saturday, through Yusuf Olaniyonu, his Special Adviser (Media), said that he could not confirm receipt of the letter.
Recall, that Olaniyonu had earlier told The Nation Newspapers, that the present Senate leadership ignored the letter, because the last Senate had taken a decision on the Pension matter, and there was no reasonable ground to review it.
On Saturday however, he released a contradictory statement that he was not sure the letter exists.
“I do not even know about the existence of that letter. It is not something I can say we have. I cannot confirm that the Senate President received such letter”, he said in a telephone interview.
“The Senate President does not know him. He has not seen the Senate President before. So, if you are talking about a letter, except we check and see that that letter actually came in.”
He also questioned the date of the said letter, suggesting that it may not exist, since the 8th Senate was inaugurated on June 2015, the month the letter was reportedly submitted.
The 8th Senate was actually inaugurated on June 9, 2015, a week before the letter was written.
“We are talking about a letter of June 2015. That was when he came in as Senate President.”
