From: oladimeji aborisade: Protest is very good. It is an indication of discontent. Please, why should Saraki be forced to re sign ? The implication of a forced resignation is that the legal line is by passed. Please allow Saraki to defend himself fully and convince the JURY why he ( Saraki ) pocketed public money to his advantage. Is he going to re sign as the Senate President which he became through the back door or is he to re sign from his political party (APC) which he joined for his own reason. I think we should allow the law to take good stand on this. Saraki is surrounded with criminal cases and resignation may not be the right answer. We want Judgement which will make others in his category learn. This is not a test of personality. It is a test of Reality.
Thank you,
oladimeji aborisade.

Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - BREAKING: Youths lock down N'Assembly, demand Saraki's resignation

Sunday Aborisade, Abuja
Scores of protesting youths under the aegis of Occupy National Assembly, on Tuesday, besieged the premises of the federal parliament and demanded the immediate resignation of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
The youths made up of various Civil Society Organisations and students, were also demanding that the federal lawmakers should immediately revisit the grey areas identified in the 2016 budget by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Apart from this, they asked 36 senators who had so far collected their own exotic jeeps to return them immediately or face the wrath of Nigerians.
The protesters marched from the Unity Fountain within the Central Area of the city to the National Assembly, a journey of about two kilometers and forced their way to the main gate, defiling all security network mounted by regular and riot police officers.
The youths forced the main gate closed thereby preventing staff, lawmakers and visitors from either entering or leaving the premises.
The protesters, armed with placards containing various inscriptions, vowed to seal off the federal parliament for the initial three days to see whether their demands would be met.
They also said they would resume a permanent protest that would paralyse all activities in the National Assembly until all their demands were fully met.
