Senator Abdullahi Adamu has denied the allegation that he
mismanaged funds belonging to the Northern Senators Forum,
describing it as false and baseless.
The Northern Senators Forum had removed Senator Adamu, as the
Chairman of the Forum and replaced him with Senator Aliyu Wamakko
on Wednesday morning after accusing him of mismanaging N70m
belonging to it.
Spokesperson of the Senate and Senator Shehu Sani who briefed
journalists afterwards insisted that Senator Adamu was not being
targeted because he disagreed with the decision of the Senate to
change the sequence of elections in the Electoral Act.
However, in an exclusive interview with Channels Television on
Wednesday night, the Senator said the allegation against him is
because he rejected the decision of the Senate.
Senator Adamu is one of the nine senators who rejected the
decision of the Senate to change the sequence of the general
election, arguing that it was targeted at President Muhammadu
Buhari.
One of those who rejected the decision with him, Senator Ovie
Omo-Agege apologised to the Senate during plenary on Wednesday.
Unlike Senator Omo-Agege, Senator Abdullahi said he would stand
by his decision, vowing to resist being swayed by any decision the
Senate takes regarding his position.
