SAN FRANCISCO, March 23, (THEWILL) – Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, has described as mischievous, fabricated and outright falsehood, the story circulating on some online media that he threatened that the Senate would shut down the Federal Government.
Abdullahi was reacting to reports (not THEWILL) suggesting that he had threatened, on behalf of the Senate, to shut down government and also head to court following the refusals of the Customs’ boss and Secretary of the Government of the Federation (SGF) to honour summons by the senate citing court cases.
“My attention has been drawn to a fabricated report on some online media in which I was said to have spoken on behalf of Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki and threatened that Senate would go ‘to court and stop the entire government from working’,” he said.
“There was no time I made the statement attributed to me by these mischievous element.
“The story is outright falsehood and should therefore be disregarded by all members of the public.”
