Kabir Marafa, senator
representing Zamfara central, has offered Senate President Bukola Saraki
another wife.
Marafa made the offer while
thanking his colleagues for approving a N10 billion intervention fund for
Zamfara owing to the insecurity in the state.
Speaking on the floor of senate
on Thursday, the lawmaker said there is room for another wife in Saraki’s house
because its size “is grossly underutilised.”
“I have a mounting order from my
constituents to thank you for the efforts we all collectively put in addressing
the plight of the people of Zamfara state,” he said.
“Mr President, I want to thank
you specifically. A lady in my constituency said I should tell you specifically
that she has never seen you hit the gavel the way you did yesterday and I
should tell you that when you commence your sabbatical, that she has offered
herself to marry you, if you so wish.
“I told her to wait until we see
facts and figures in the 2019 budget. With respect and apology to Madam at home
but from where I come, you are allowed up to four wives. So madam should please
keep space because anytime I sit at home and look at the size of the house, I
feel it is grossly underutilised.”
Marafa also thanked President
Muhammadu Buhari for intervening in the security situation of the state.
“On behalf of all the people of
Zamfara state, I want to thank you so much and also the leadership of the
senate. Senator Bukar Abba Ibrahim, they wish you a successful retirement as
government pikin,” he said.
“Senator Shehu Sani, you are
legislatively violent with your chairmanship of the committee on foreign and
domestic debts and we are all going to be together in retirement, me, you and
senator Monsurat.
“They said I should tell the
chairman of appropriations and members that you have done your utmost best and
look forward to your efforts and cooperation.
“I thank senator Adeyeye as a
retiring senator, you performed very well. Obviously nobody will say they want
to marry you. (Laughter) distinguished senator Ekweremadu, you are doning quite
a befitting cap today. You have called for a state of emergency in Zamfara but
I will advise you don’t visit the senate president in the office today for very
obvious reasons.”
On his part, Saraki appreciated
all the senators who contributed to the debate on the insecurity situation in
the state and a made case for the funds to be approved.
