Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has described the 8th senate under the leadership of Bukola Saraki as the worst in the history of Nigeria.
El-Rufai accused Saraki of listing some members of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, among those who defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) without their consent.
Speaking in an interview aired on some local radio stations in Kaduna, El-Rufai said those in the national assembly “rode to power on the back” of President Muhammadu Buhari.
El-Rufai said, “We have never had a bad senate leadership like this one by Bukola Saraki. Some people whose names were mentioned among those who decamped said they never authorised it.
“We know those who cannot win elections in their homes. Many of them found themselves in the national assembly by riding on the back of Buhari. Some of them won the election because presidential and parliamentary elections held on the same day.”
