Senator Abdullahi Adamu
There is unrest in the Senate following the unceremonious removal of the Chairman of the Northern Senators’ Forum, Senator Abdullahi Adamu. The incident forced a member of the Forum, Senator Ali Wakil to dissociate himself from the removal of Adamu on Thursday.
Adamu was sacked as Chairman of Northern Senators’ Forum on Wednesday following a letter signed by the Publicity Secretary of the Forum, Dino Melaye, alleging financial misconduct.
Wakil told the Senate that the meeting of the Forum was never called to discuss the sanction or removal of anybody.
He said some of them watched in disbelief the announcement of Adamu’s removal. The lawmaker came short of saying the removal was done in bad faith.
He said: “I was not here yesterday (Wednesday) but I saw it in the papers and television when you (Deputy Senate President) announced the removal of Senator Abdullahi Adamu as the leader of the Northern Senators’ Forum.
“Your Excellency I come from the north and I am active member of the Northern Senators’ Forum. At no time have we met and put to question any of the leaders of the Northern Senators’ Forum.
“It was brought to this place and it was announced and some of our colleagues went to the Press Centre and made statements that referred to some of us as monkeys.
