Nigerians have taken to Twitter to blast its senate president, Bukola Saraki, for stating that he has uncovered a plot by some politicians to sponsor protest marches and demonstrations against him.
Saraki who is facing a 13-count charge for false asset declaration has increasingly come under pressure to resign his position as Nigeria’s number three man.
Here are reactions to Saraki’s statement.
@Iam_YoungG @scarfizal @bukolasaraki The greatest enemy of Senate President Bukola Saraki is Dr. Bukola Saraki.

@bukolasaraki resignation is not in our DNA. It's until they disgrace these guys out of office before they quit.
