Code of Conduct Trial: Ex minister tells Saraki to resign now

Former minister of state for Education, Kenneth Gbagi, has
asked Senate President Bukola Saraki to resign as Senate
president following his trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
Speaking to journalists in Abuja yesterday September 23rd,
Gbagi said;
"We have a problem in Nigeria where we don’t have
people of honor, dignity and integrity. The mere fact
that the senate president has lied by doing
anticipatory declaration indicates that he has no
business being a senate president living with tax
payers money.
Nigerians will not have faith in anything that comes
out of his senate that is shared or presented by that
kind of person. The entire international community
will not believe in the passage of any Bill under his
leadership. He (Saraki) cannot be seen to sit in that
house now as senate president because whatever he
does questions the integrity of the entire senate"he
said However while reacting to Gbagi's call for
Saraki's resignation, the special adviser media to the
Senate President, Yusuf Olaniyonu, said that Gbagi is
a rabble rouser who lacks the locus standi to advise
on the matter. “What’s the pedigree of the former
minister? When has accusations turned to
convictions, the senate president cannot dignify him
with a response,the trial is ongoing and the senate
president has not been found guilty, so how can he
resign? “he said
