Senator representing Plateau
South Senatorial district, Jeremiah Timbut Useni, (PDP) has alleged that group
of Senators in support of reordered electoral timetable were being lured with
bribes to oppose the motion.
He reacted while speaking with
journalists on Wednesday, who were curious to have him say his opinion about
some of his colleagues who protested against the conference report that
affirmed the controversial reordered electoral timetable.
According to him, “You know in
the Senate, the minority will have their say, majority will have their way.”
“All those who go about trying to
bribe some lawmakers in support of reordered elections will not work.”
“You are journalists, if you like
go and write 100 pages of newspapers, the timetable has been changed and there
is nothing, anybody can do about it,’ he said.
Meanwhile, Senator Abdullahi
Adamu led other Senators to protest affirmation of conference report at today’s
plenary following a conference report which was presented by the Chairman,
Senate Committee on INEC, Senator Suleiman Nazif.
At a press briefing, Adamu who
was flanked by others explained that the Senate President ignored the majority
voice in the chambers to sustained minority voice on the controversial issue.
According to him, the change was
targetted at President Muhammadu Buhari, saying, it was partisan. He said the
Executive will not sign it.
