Senate not your supporters’ club, Ezekwesili tells Saraki
A former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has accused the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, of converting the Senate to a supporter’s club for his ongoing trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
About 30 senators were said to have accompanied Saraki to the CCT on Thursday.
But in a series of tweets on her official Twitter handle, Ezekwesili said the Senate President was manipulating the Senate for “selfish” gains.
The former minister said, “Finally, Dr. Bukola Saraki, such selfish ‘pocketization’ of a public institution that you are perpetrating is never sustainable.
“Selfishness is converting the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria into a supporters’ club for your personal court case.
“Selfishness is a vice and not a virtue because it disregards the good of the greater number. Selfishness is being concerned, sometimes excessively or exclusively, for oneself or one’s own advantage.”
