Senate spokesman, Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi has attributed Secretary to the government of the Federation’s woes to Senator Ali Ndume and Baba Kaka Garbai.
At a press briefing on Tuesday in Abuja, Sabi disclosed that the duo of Ndume and Garbai first sponsored a motion that the condition of internally displaced persons (IDPs) were worsening despite FG’s moves in providing relief materials, which made the Senate to commence investigations..
“Senators Ali Ndume and Baba Kaka Garbai are the genesis of SGF’s problems. They sponsored a motion that contracts awarded by FG, through presidential initiative were not executed and we went into action”, he said.
“It was our resolution based on the motion that led to Senator Shehu Sani’s Ah-hoc Committee on humanitarian crisis in the North east which eventually uncovered fraudulent practices”, he added.
Sabi added that Nigerians should be guided on resolutions of the Senate, through which it rejected nomination of Ibrahim Magu as EFCC Chairman, noting that Senate leader’s statement that EFCC chairman was not rejected should be ignored.
He insisted that as official spokesman of the Senate, he had the mandate to speak on decisions of the Senate, noting that Magu’s rejection was based on reports from DSS.
“I am the official spokesman of the Senate, and I have here with me, resolutions of the Senate and I want to quote myself, which I think some of you still have my voice, that the Senate has rejected nomination of Ibrahim Magu as EFCC chairman”, he said.
” If the Senate leader has granted an interview dissenting to what I am saying, well he might have been misquoted, but as a spokesman, you journalists should be guided”, he insisted.
According to him, the decision was taken at a closed door session where critical issues were resolved, adding that the 8th Senate would always maintain efficiency and integrity.
