The Senate has discredited claims in some quarters that Senate president
Bukola Saraki's visit to some IDP camps in Maiduguri, Borno state on
Monday August 3rd was geared towards his alleged presidential aspiration
in 2019. Speaking through its chairman on publicity, Senator Dino
Melaye, the senate said there was no truth in the claim.
“It is myopic to say the visit has a link with 2019. The visit was not
the making of the Senate president but the resolution of the Senate
during a plenary last week. The visit has nothing to do with the
ambition of the Senate president.
The visit was as a result of the motion moved by
Senator George Thompson Sekibo of Rivers East Senatorial District on the
Boko Haram insurgency. It was during the debate at the floor that
Senate resolved that a delegation led by the Senate president should
visit the North East states,” he said.
