Senate President, Bukola Saraki
has warned Senator Kabiru Marafa from Zamfara State to stop using the Senate as
a platform for accusations.
Saraki gave the warning on
Tuesday while responding to a Point of Order raised by Marafa.
Marafa, who is currently having
running battles with his State Governor, Abdulaziz Yari had tried to accuse an
aide to the governor of being responsible for atrocities in the state.
Reacting to Marafa’s move, the
Senate President said the Zamafara lawmaker must not use the platform for
settling personal grievances.
Saraki said: “Distinguished
Senator Marafa, with all due respect, I have tried to always accommodate you
for these issues and I think we must not abuse these issues with your personal
explanation.
“I am sure everyone here has
issues to do with their state, I think you should summarise that but now you
are going into details where people are being accused.
“So what I appeal is that you
should give us the summary of this issue and let us try and keep within those
confines.
“I am happy that the leader of the
Senate who is the chairman of the security ad hoc committee is here. It is a
pity that considering how strongly you felt about this matter, I noticed your
absence at the security conference yesterday where your governor was present.
“It would have been a good
opportunity for us to address this. Be that as it may, leader [addressing the
Senate Leader Ahmed Lawan], please take note of these issues because I know
that you can invite these security agencies and look into the matter.”
