Following the allegation the senate president, Bukola
Saraki made about being a target for abduction on the day the National
Assembly was inaugurated, the senators loyal to the candidacy of Senator
Ahmad Lawan in the recent election for senate presidency, have
challenged him to name the suspect.
Vanguard
reported that senators, who are strong members of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), insisted that Saraki must name those allegedly behind
the abduction he claimed to show that he was
not economical with the truth about development preceding his emergence as Senate President.
The senators who spoke under the auspices of senate unity forum noted that they would not join issues with Saraki for now, but that said his proof of the allegation was necessary so that they can reply him properly.
This reaction from the pro-Lawan senators was made through their spokesman, Senator Kabiru Marafa (APC) Zamfara Central tasking Saraki to name those who wanted to kidnap him before getting full reaction to his allegation.
Meanwhile, at a recent interview with journalists in Abuja, Saraki alleged that before the inauguration of the 8th Senate on Tuesday, June 9, 2015, there were plans by some big guns within the party, who were blatantly not in support of his aspiration as president of the 8th senate, to abduct him in a bid to deprive him from being present at the inauguration to accept the nomination for the position in person.
During the interview which has gone viral from last weekend, Saraki stated that he escaped the abduction allegedly planned against him that day by refusing to report at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel where all federal lawmakers elect were billed to gather at 8:am for onward movement to the National Assembly.
The senate president noted at the interview that instead of joining his colleagues at Transcorp Hilton Hotel at the slated time, he moved faster than everybody by getting to the premises of the National Assembly as early as 6:am that day and hid in a car at the car park for four hours where he was quiet and somewhat unnoticed.
