| Abdullahi-Adamu |
The senator representing Nasarawa West, Abdullahi Adamu, who was removed as chairman Northern Senators’ Forum, has denied allegation he mismanaged funds belonging to the group.
In an interview with Channels, Mr Adamu said the allegation was raised against him because he rejected the passage of election sequence by the senate.
It could be recalled that on February 14, the senator had, alongside 10 others, opposed the Senate passage of the amendment to the electoral act.
Mr Adamu questioned the conduct of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, in the passage process.
He said he would stand by his decision and “resist any decision the Senate takes regarding his position.”
Following the sudden announcement of Mr Adamu’s sack, Shehu Sani a senator representing Kaduna Central, while giving insight, said the financial mismanagement borders on a N70 million belonging to the forum.
Adama said the money was rumoured to have been carted away by monkeys in a farm house.
“There are some things some of my colleagues will not say but I’m not used to holding back. When we assumed office, Senator Ahmed Lawan tendered the sum of N70 million to the 8th Senate.
“That N70 million was money gathered from the 7th Senate. It was handed over to northern senators of 8th Senate.
“The rumours going round, which I don’t know whether it’s true but I believe other senators know, is the fact that there were allegations that some monkeys raided the farm house of some of the executives of the northern senators forum and carted away some of these money.
“I think this country is becoming a huge joke. First of all, it was the rodents that drove away the president and then we now have snakes consuming about N36 million and now we have monkeys raiding farm house. So, they don’t want this to be said but I believe that we should be very clear,” he concluded.
Sen Adama didn’t mention whose farm house it is among the Sentors.
