Former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili has criticised the scores of Senators that accompanied Senate President, Bukola Saraki, to the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

Dino Melaye had revealed to journalists present at the Tribunal, that 84 senators escorted Saraki to court.

Reacting to the news, Ezekwesili, advised Saraki through her Twitter page, that he should have dissuaded his colleagues from going with him to the tribunal.

The co-convener of the BringBackOurGirls movement, warned the Senate President against privatising the democratic institution of the National Assembly.

Honestly my dear @bukolasaraki , you should have dissuaded your colleagues from doing such damage to the Democratic Institution of NASS.

My dear friend, LEADERSHIP BY EXAMPLE is EVERYTHING. You should not “privatize” our Democratic Institution, NASS. #ThatsAll| @bukolasaraki: — Oby Ezekwesili (@obyezeks) October 21, 2015

Our LAWMAKERS would do well to quickly RETRACE their steps from this egregious and ill-advised “union” on a private judicial proceeding. — Oby Ezekwesili (@obyezeks) October 21, 2015

Citizens must realize that WE CANNOT AFFORD to PERMIT our Public Officials continue with the HABIT of “Privatizing” Democratic Institutions. — Oby Ezekwesili (@obyezeks) October 21, 2015
