Expdonaloaded News; Saraki: Group wants Tinubu, Gemade suspended

A non-political association, Leadership by Example League International (LELI), has asked the All Progressives Congress (APC) to suspend former Lagos State governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and Senator Barnabas Gemade, over their opposition tothe election of Senator Bukola Saraki as Senate president.

In a statement by Dr. Batos Nwadike, Chancellor of the group, congratulating Saraki, LELI said it was excited and hopeful that with the election of Saraki as Senate president and Senator Ike Ekweremadu as deputy Senate president, the upper legislative house was poised to give effective leadership to Nigerians through seamless legislations.post by expdonaloaded.blogspot.com...The group asked aggrieved senators to sheathe their swords and give the leadership of Saraki/Ekweremadu the desired support.
It called on the APC to consider the suspension of Tinubu and Gemade in the interest of the nation.
According to the group, the statement emanating from Tinubu and Gemade to the effect that they “do not recognise the avowed election held transparently in the hallowed hall of the red chamber on Tuesday is embarrassing.”LELI expressed worry over what it called ‘April fool in June’ allegedly given to the senators of APC extraction by Tinubu that “President Muhammadu Buhari was coming to address the Senate when there was a due letter of proclamation of the National Assembly.”
The group said the National Assembly was for Nigeria and not Lagos State House of Assembly.
It also congratulated Yakubu Dogara, speaker of the House of Representatives and the Deputy Speaker, Yusuf Larson, calling on “Nigerians to support a strengthened and virile National Assembly.”
