Special Adviser to the President Muhammadu Buhari on Political Matters, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, has said that his role as a witness in the case of forgery of the rules applied in the election of the President and Deputy Senate President of the Senate on the floor of the red chamber on June 9, 2015 has nothing to do with his appointment as aide to the President.
Ojudu said yesterday that rather, his membership of the 7th Senate and as one of the conveners of the Unity Forum that called the police attention to the forgery prompted his role presently.
The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, has charged the Senate President Bukola Saraki and his Deputy Ike Ekweremadu for alleged forgery and conspiracy before an Abuja Federal High Court.
Also included are the immediate past clerk of the National Assembly, Alhaji Salisu Maikasuwa and the deputy clerk of the house, Mr. Benard Efeturi. Ojudu is one of the witnesses in the case.
“My statement and other witnesses statement were taken months before my appointment.
As a member of the Unity Forum, I am one of those who worked for Senator Ahmed Lawan as the preferred candidate for the Senate Presidency in the June 9 2015 election,” he said.
