For The Record: PRESS STATEMENT BY SENATE PRESIDENT DR BUKOLA SARAKI INTIMATING SENATORS OF PLOT AGAINST HIM BY INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE,IBRAHIM IDRIS

In my own view, this plot is an act of desperation, blackmail, intimidation, abuse of office and crude tactics aimed at turning our country into a Police State where top officials cannot be made to obey the law, follow due process and subject themselves to constituted authorities.

I want to bring this dangerous development to the attention of all of you my colleagues, the entire country and the international community so that you can be aware of the level of impunity in our country and the danger it constitute to our democracy.

Thank you, all

Sen. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, CON.
