A poll conducted on twitter by Saharareporter.com on trial of Nigeria senate president Bukola Saraki of whether to resign as senate president
The result shows an overwhelming 74 percent said the Senate President should step down, while only 12 percent said he should not. Another 14 percent said they did not care. Over 3000 Twitter users participated in the poll.
Mr. Saraki’s social media woes did not stop there. In a questionable move, the Senate President made posts on his Facebook and Twitter pages saying he was “happy that the trial has commenced.”
The posts elicited hundreds of negative responses from Nigerian social media users.
Many pointed out that if Mr. Saraki were truly “happy” about the trial beginning, he wouldn't have gone through so much effort to stall it.
One Nura Alkali and Tahir Abubakar responded to post by saying Saraki is taking Nigerian for a fool by stalling the trial for 8 month
Other users alluded to the Panama Papers and the resignation of Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson, saying that the Nigerian Senate President could be the leak’s next victim.
“My friend, please resign honorably. I saw you as a respected gentleman until Panama released the names of global thieves of which you are among,” said Alloysius Phayrouz Chukwu on Facebook.
Jakada Awwal Abba said, “The Prime Minister of Iceland, S. Gunnlaugsson, has resigned from public office over the Panama Papers leak. Meanwhile, Senate President Bukola Saraki, who has equally been linked to the Panama Papers, has not resigned, despite his ongoing trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal for corruption.”
