Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, former Senate President, has
threatened court action against Governor Abdulrahaman Abdurazaq of Kwara State
for allegedly accusing him of embezzling UBEC funds during his tenure as
governor of the state.
The two-term governor of Kwara State described the claim by
Governor Abdulrahaman Abdulrazaq that he embezzled the Universal Basic
Education Fund and also used his position as Senate President to prevent the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from investigating the case as
an outright lie which the governor must retract immediately.
Saraki in a statement signed by his Press Officer on Local
Matters, Abdulganiyu Abdulqadir, threatened that the governor has only seven
days to retract the statement or he will meet him in court to prove his false
claims.
“I have ignored all his lies all this while as I believe he
was resorting to that cheap escape measure to mask his failure in governance.
Now, I will have to take strong measures by challenging him in court since he
will not desist from fabricating lies against me.
“I have told my lawyers to write him to retract the
statement or be ready to prove it in court,” Saraki stated.
Recall that Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, reportedly made
the claim on Sunday while speaking at the inauguration of the campaign council
of the APC senatorial candidate for Kwara Central.
