Yusuph Olaniyonu, a media aide to former Senate President Bukola Saraki, has faulted comments made by the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, that his principal frustrated the restructuring plan of the All Progressives Congress when he (Saraki) was in office as the president of the Senate.
It added, “By 2018 as El Rufai mentioned, President Muhammadu Buhari had commenced assent to constitutional amendment bills. Out of the 32 Constitution Bills considered by the National Assembly, 24 secured the required number of votes on the floors of both chambers. Also, when the 24 were sent to the state Houses of Assembly, only 12 bills got the required votes. This same El-Rufai was one of the governors that frustrated the passage of most of the bills by state Houses of Assembly.
“If the APC was elected into power in 2015 and El Rufai and his cohorts were talking about amending the constitution to implement restructuring three years later when the government had less than a year to the end of its tenure, the restructuring agenda must be an after-thought or a less important one on the hierarchy of issues on the APC’s plate.
“El Rufai should tell Nigerians if Saraki is also the one that is responsible for the high level of insecurity which has escalated from just the Northeast to a menace that has now engulfed the whole of Nigeria under the APC administration.
