Thursday the Senate collected the Minister of Defense, Mohammed Badaru for negative comments made on the planned national security summit.

This is the president of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio has declared that he will not resign from his position due to accusations not proven against him by the suspended senator Natasha Akpoti – Uduaghan.

Badaru had in Abuja on Wednesday during the briefing of the ministerial press, he said that the summit planned on national safety of the Senate was not necessary.

Disturbed by the comment, the Senate through his leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, strongly leaned on to the comment and warned the minister to honor his invitation, when invited for the summit.

Bamidele who referred to the comment while explaining the scrupulous consideration that the Senate held to the tax reform invoices, said that any decision takes the Senate at any time, in the best interest of Nigeria and the Nigerians.

“The comment made by the Minister of Defense on the summit provided for national security from the Senate, is unlucky of having come from those neighborhoods, but we are consoled with the new sheriff in the city of person of President Bola Tinubu.

“The Senate is an institution and larger than an individual, populated by mental Nigerians who cannot be easily influenced by any accusations.

“This was the reason why the Senate refused to say to its president, Godswill Akpabio to resign for the not proven accusations of being piled up on him,” he said.

Replying to the comment of Senator Bamidele, Akpabio said that his presentations were well noted, but he said that even if the Senate had told him to resign, he would have resisted, because he will not want to be unjustly treated.

“Your observations have been well noted, but what I want you to withdraw is the one on my decline. It is good that this move has never been done, because if it had been done, I would have resisted, because I will not want to be unjustly treated and exonerated from any wrong dose later,” he said.
