There was rumpus at the entrance of the National Assembly in Abuja on Tuesday as scores of protesters barricaded the gate, singing solidarity songs in support of the embattled Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki.
Armed with placards bearing different inscriptions such as,
“Enough is enough, we support Saraki and Ekweremadu”, they warned anti-graft agencies to desist from being used against perceived “political enemies.”
“No to Witch-hunting” and “No to Plot To Destabilize National Assembly”.
It will be recalled that Saraki was docked last Tuesday at the Code of Conduct Tribunal where he pleaded not guilty to falsification of documents in his assets declaration form when he served as governor of Kwara State.
