Saraki condemns FG's refusal to cede Eagle Square for Kwankwaso's presidential declaration

Kwankwaso

Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki Wednesday condemned the last minute cancellation of the approval granted to Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, to utilize the Eagle Square for his  2019 presidential declaration.

According to his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, in Abuja, “Eagle Square belongs to all Nigerians” and the cancellation sends a wrong message about the tolerance level in our politics.
“The refusal to allow Senator Kwankwaso to utilize the Eagle Square for his Presidential declaration, despite an earlier approval, sends a wrong message about our democracy, particularly the tolerance level in our politics.
“That square belongs to all Nigerians because it was built with public funds. We hope this is not what we will be seeing as we approach the 2019 General Elections,” the Senate President said.
