Unity forum won’t give up until Saraki, Ekweremadu are removed, Borrofice says

Senator Robert Ajayi Borrofice has said that the Unity Forum will not give up on the forgery case involving Senate President, Bukola Saraki and his deputy Ike Ekweremadu until justice is done.

The forum will continue to “fight to ensure that the image of the senate is redeemed,” Borrofice is quoted to have said in Abuja after he picked his governorship nomination form at the APC secretariat, adding that Unity Forum is fighting the current senate leadership based on matters of principle.

He said, “I am one of those people who went to court to challenge the election of the Senate principals and I maintain that we have done that on principle not because we hate anybody. We want to defend the integrity of the Senate and the sanity of the rule of law.

“So, it is not that we are all working in the same direction, some of us are speaking out and I hope that you pressmen will give expression to our voices when we speak out. So, I can assure you that we will not be intimidated, we will continue to fight to ensure that the image of the Senate is redeemed so that any senator in Nigeria can raise his head anywhere in the world and describe himself as a senator.”

Borrofice, an All Progressives Congress (APC), senator representing Ondo north is also the party governorship aspirant in the coming election in Ondo state.

He is a member of one of the factional groups of APC in the Senate, the Unity Forum, who reported the issue of forgery of the Senate standing rule to the police before the Federal Government took the matter to court.

The other faction of APC senators, the Like Minds, who are supporters of the present Senate leadership, have continued to see how they can woo senators of Unity Forum to sheathe their sword and accept the Saraki led Senate, so that together they can handle their challenge with the executive arm of government.

A recent meeting on this issue was what resulted in the recent name calling saga between Senator Oluremi Tinubu, who is of Unity Forum and Senator Dino Melaye who belongs to the Like Minds, Ripples Nigeria gathered.
