Budget Padding: Nigerians Reacts As Saraki’s Replies Tinubu

The President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki has replied the accusations levelled against him by the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

In his response, Dr. Saraki urged Asiwaju Tinubu to tread the path of truth and dwell on facts.

Saraki’s response was contained in a statement signed by Yusuph Olaniyonu, his special adviser on media and publicity and made available to Naija News on Monday.

Saraki challenged Tinubu to substantiate his claim by making reference to where the National Assembly “sought to pad with pet projects”. He described the allegation as careless, irresponsible and callous while demanding that Tinubu should withdraw it.

Meanwhile, Naija News can authoritatively report that the Senate president’s reply to the accusations levelled against him by the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has also generated so many reactions on Twitter
