A youth organization in Kwara
State, Kwara Youths Stakeholders Forum, KYSF, has threatened to begin a recall
process of Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
The threat was contained in a
statement jointly signed by its president, Charles Olufemi Folayan, Deputy
President, Ahmed Alanamu, and Secretary Abolarin Olusola.
The organization said the
long-running face-off between the Senate and the Executive arm of government
was hindering the operations of the government and affecting the masses.
The statement said, “We are cognizant of the separation of powers in a democratic government, but it is shocking to see the Legislative and Executive arms of Government formed by the same political party playing opposition between themselves in the name of separation of powers.”
KYSF said it was particularly
disappointed by the conduct of the Senate President, an indigene of Kwara
State, for refusing to work with the Executive to deliver the dividends of
democracy to Nigerians.
It accused the Senate under Mr.
Saraki of elevating personal interests above public interest.
It added, “Sadly, bills of public interest such as Local Government Autonomy Bill and other bills that will make direct impact on the people have not yet received adequate attention from the Senate.”
“We are disappointed that despite the economic recession, which demands urgent attention, the Senate leadership has been paying more attention to swarming court rooms for Code of Conduct Tribunal trial, Customs boss’ uniform and debates on the recalling of an individual senator,” stated KYSF.
KYSF said the Senate should
support Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, who is standing in for President
Muhammadu Buhari, to lead the country out of its current economic hardship and
keep the it united.
KYSF said it had resolved that if
having a Senate President from Kwara State was of no value to the youths in the
state and Nigerians in general, it will have no option other than initiate the
process to recall Mr. Saraki from the Senate, where he represents Kwara Central
Senatorial District.
“We hereby advise him to realize that he is there to serve the good people of Nigeria, adjust his ways and prioritize the interest of Nigerians above ego and personal political ambition,” said KYSF.Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
