The accusations have generated diverse reactions on social media and within politicians.
Reacting today to the ongoing saga, Saraki warned “that nothing is done to rubbish the institution.”
He wrote;
“I have watched from afar the recent development in the Senate between the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, and Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
“It is a development that has made me sad because of its overall negative effect on the integrity, sanctity, image, and public perception of the institution. I
“I believe that everyone who has had anything to do with the National Assembly, particularly as a leader, member, and worker should always jealously protect these values which make the institution, the numero uno, among the three arms of government.
“It is for these reasons that I believe that the two parties in this dispute and their supporters in and out of chamber should be mindful of the impact of their actions, inactions, reactions, claims, and counter-claims to be sure that nothing is done to rubbish the institution.
“The constitution, laws of the country, rules of the Senate as well as parliamentary conventions and practices should be adhered to in resolving the issue.
