A leading traditional ruler in the Southsouth has criticized Senator Bukola Saraki for asking Senate President Godswill Akpabio to step down for an investigation into allegation of sexual harassment level against him.

“I disappointed by the comments of former Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, who has taken a hardline stance against the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, on the unproven allegations of sexual harassment levelled against him by Saraki’s ally, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan,” chairman of Bayelsa State Traditional Rulers Council, King Bubaraye Dakolo Agada IV said.

King Bubaraye Dakolo Agada IV who is the traditional ruler of Ibenanaowei of Ekpetiama Kingdom spoe yesterday through a statement.


Dakolo said Saraki’s stance appeared malicious because the former Senate president was once a victim of a criminal allegation by some suspected robbers. He noted that he did not stand down pending investigation in spite of calls for him to do so.

He said: “Nigerians would recall that in June of 2018, some armed robbers were arrested after they had robbed a series of banks in Offa, Kwara State. Upon interrogation, they named the then Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, as one of their sponsors.


“This prompted the Nigerian Police Force to invite him to answer allegations indicting him by confessions of five gang leaders arrested for active participation in the Offa bank robbery and killings of 33 innocent persons.


“Dr. Saraki denied that allegation, but the suspects maintained their stand. Yet, Dr. Saraki did not resign because of the allegation.

“Those robbers were eventually convicted. But despite that, he served his term as Senate president until he lost a reelection bid in Kwara State.

“So, why is the sauce for Saraki now not for Akpabio?”


The monarch said the Southsouth had given so much to Nigeria over the years, adding that he hoped that Nigeria and Nigerians would provide justice and respect for the region that had shown total commitment to the country by treating its son with the respect he deserved.

Clout chasing, this is a discussion btw two senate presidents. He can advise in his capacity

Nigeria! Just c and keep quiet

Perfect question, to all those calling on Akpabio to step-down, imagine Reno was a Chief executive and he stepped down after Natasha accused him, but later was found to be innocent.... what would have happend?

Natasha is a liar and serial blackmailer. Only gullible people her with their agenda

We (The Country) are confused set of people.

Help me ask am abeg.
Hypocrites everywhere!

Very stupid question.

Buhari and his APC goons fabricated the story about Saraki's involvement in that bloody Offa robbery.

All because Saraki refused to be a rubber stamp Senate President like Lawan or Akpabio and his eventual defection to PDP

That is where I began to fear APC propaganda machinery.

Those APC media boys can give you a crime you didn't commit just to destroy your reputation while defending the real criminals.

They have tried it with Peter Obi and failed, that is why they hate Obidients so much.

Their lies and their grip on social media is constantly destroyed by Obidients

He can’t advise in his capacity when he didn’t bulge during his time despite an allegations even heftier than that of Akpabio

Truth be told, that case just died down. How can five convicted armed robbers named you as their sponsors yet the case was swept under the rug. Naija my country

Saraki is nothing but a hypocrite.

Anyway., I’m glad South South people are rallying for Akpabio as it should be. The good people of South west and South South will not allow any evil plot against Akpabio to stand. The south east can keep hating as usual.

Natasha is just one pathetic lier and blackmailer

This is an upper cut from the King. All hail the king!

this man is right, if saraki did not resign why should akpabio resign bases on a faceless accusation for by a serial acc

egbon, honestly hypocrite gidi ni bobo yen

So how did you know this one was not fabricated?

Advise are just advise not compelled. It’s left to the senate president to look into it or not.

Akpabio has never been my cup of tea and is clearly an individual that has a lot to answer for....however people like Saraki have no business advising him especially as he was his mentor and taught him how to be a perfect bully as a Senate President.

Saraki had a lot of times where he could have stepped aside to allow fear hearings, the Remi Tinubu case that happened in front of his eyes was another example.

Those who had there chance, enjoyed Nigeria and did not improve it in anyway, should stop being moral preachers and leave us alone, while we focus on the new set that have learnt from their bad examples, which we the masses are just trying to manage.

Imagine for the last 2 months all the useless politicians want to talk about is Sexual Harassment, in this Trump era where serious nations are trying to be self sufficient....chai.

Reading…

Lwkmd... This one to direct o.

So how do you know the one against Akpabio also isn't fabricated? Pure double standards on your part. Because Natasha is beautiful she cannot lie? See mumu.

Was it, a co senator that accused him of robbery?

Strong question

How is it with that armed robber?
Is the media silent on his case?

Same with Evans

So, the pictures and videos of the offa robber showing he was an ally of saraki was doctored . No problem , continue to deceive the gullible but not me

Saraki should go and rest...He was even more corrupt.

By know I expect Natasha evidence to have flooded the internet.
She is a lawyer. She should be smarter than this.
Can you imagine Betty Edu, accusing Jagaban of sexual harassment, all because she was asked to step down as a minister?

I'm sure, obi miscreants would have asked him to step down

Nonsense
All are Nigerian citizens!
