Really proud of
@Bukolasaraki
he could have cowered to the several threats and harassments as they sought for a rubber stamp legislative arm to destroy democracy. The easiest route was to be selfish and join them, but he fought till the end. Well done.

Yes,
@BukolaSaraki
lost his Senate seat, but I respect him. He went down with his head held high. There is no basis to compare him to
@SenatorAkpabio
, a man who went to bow down to
@MBuhari
for power. What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?
