Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose has alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari was blackmailing Senate President, Bukola Saraki with his CCT trial in order to have his $30bn loan request approved.
The Senate had earlier rejected the request stating that there was not enough information on the borrowing plan.
However, Fayose in a statement by his spokesperson, Lere Olayinka, on Wednesday said Saraki should not bow to pressure.
“Unfolding events in the last few days suggest a dangerous alliance between the presidency and the Senate President, Bukola Saraki to ensure the approval of the $29.96 billion loan at all cost,” Fayose said.
“He must know that no matter what he does to the Aso Villa Cabal to achieve their aims, it won’t change their minds concerning his travails.
“He should be reminded that despite that he assisted the Aso Villa Cabal to pass the controversial 2016 budget and cleared all the ministerial nominees, they never stopped plotting to bring him down.
“Instead of collaborating with the Aso Villa Cabal to plunge the present and future generations of Nigerians into the bondage of debt, Senator Saraki should pitch his tent with Nigerians, who are against the $29.96 billion loan and write his name in gold, like Senator Ken Nnamani did when he rejected Obasanjo’s third term agenda,” Fayose added.
@GovAyoFayose Just one question to you. If @Mbuhari is trying to blackmail @BukolaSaraki ,was the Offence committed under him?
