The All Progressives Congress (APC) Senators from the North, who were among the 81 members of the upper chamber who sponsored the vote of confidence passed on Senator Bukola Saraki and principal officers, has debunked allegations that they are working against the interest of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The senators stated this on Thursday  at a news conference addressed by the Chairman, Senate ad hoc committee on Media and Publicity,  Dino Melaye.

They described the publication in a national daily which alleged that 22 Northern senators who signed the vote of confidence motion on Saraki, were actually those working against Buhari in the senate.

Defending the senator, Melaye noted with concern, that the report which tagged the affected senators as ‘Anti – Buhari’,  was wicked,  satanic and unacceptable stating that all of them actually worked for Buhari’s victory at the poll and had determined to ensure the success of his administration.

Melaye stated that the sponsors of the publication were actually the real enemies of Buhari because their action was capable of causing disunity between the South and the North adding that the publication was a great disservice to the country while maintaining that the members and leadership of the 8th Senate was committed to moving the nation forward by ensuring the success of Buhari’s programmes and policies.

One of the senators,  Binta Garba, (Adamawa North) wondered why somebody like her could be mischievously linked to groups that would be against Buhari when her people were looking forward to Buhari to route out insurgency in the North East.

“My father, who was the driver of General Muhammadu Buhari when he was in the,military,  will never forgive me if I work against the president. It is not possible for me to work against him,” she said.

Also Mohammed Shittu, (Jigawa North East) who recited some Quranic verses in his response, alleged that the people who invited senators to the International Conference Centre on the day of inauguration, were the real enemies of Buhari.

He also rained curses on the writers and sponsors of the publication describing them as enemies of Nigeria.
