The Senator representing Kebbi South Senatorial District, Garba Musa Maidoki on Tuesday lamented the emergence of the 10th Senate Minority Leader, Senator
Simon Mwadkwom and other principal officers of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP as most fraudulent, saying all known processes were cast into the wind.
The lawmaker said they were told that the party has not finalized the list of principal officers, only for him to disappointedly see that some senators have been nominated, contrary to writing a letter to the senate as earlier requested. “Unfortunately, those who were there refused to write this letter, either because they were aware or because they were culpable. We don’t have problems, two wrongs do not make it right.”He, however, expressed his readiness to cooperate with the Senate to ensure that the nation moves forward, adding that “Nigeria is a project, and if it must work, they should be transparent in everything government.
“We have 36 out of the 50 Senators that are in the minority caucus and then we cannot even come together and agree who should lead us.
