Group calls for Saraki’s resignation

A Civil society organisation, Value and Integrity Group, has renewed its call for Senate President  Bukola Saraki to step down.

The pressure group, in a statement in Lagos yesterday, said the questions over Saraki’s integrity caused by the accusations that have trailed his political career, have made him unsuitable to remain in office. It therefore called on Nigerians of good conscience to rise and defend the nation’s integrity, its democratic process and the credibility of its institutions.

The group said of the three leaders of the Executive, Legislative and Judicial arms of government, only the legislature had become tainted by the allegations against Dr. Saraki.

“It is mind-boggling, however, that of these three key individuals, Dr. Bukola Saraki is the only one with a cloud over his personal integrity, given the accusations that have trailed his corporate and political career,” the statement said.
