administration of President Muhammadu Buhari were hurting Nigeria's
democracy.
He spoke at plenary on Tuesday while reacting to the suit filed
against Senator Dino Melaye by the Attorney General of the Federation
and Minister, of Justice Mr. Abubakar Malami, for allegedly misleading
the police about an assassination attempt on his life in April 2017.
The senator, according to the suit, also falsely accused the Chief of
Staff to Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, Mr. Edward Onoja, of the
assassination attempt.
Saraki, while reacting yesterday, said Melaye's arraignment which
comes up on March 1, 2018, was not justified.
"I do not see how the issue of arraignment can be a way forward in a
matter like this.
"But be that as it may, I want us all to continue to defend democracy
and fight for what is right and I can assure you that this institution
will continue to stand for what is right.
"Those who think that they are helping the government, but sometimes
they are doing things that are not in the interest of this democracy.
"I think they need to do what is right for the interest of all of us.
But for sure, what is wrong is wrong.
"I think those who are looking at this will have a review and do what
is right," Thisday quoted him as saying.
