He said: “Maybe this will remind Saraki that there is God,” accusing the Kwara-born politician of playing God during his tenure as Senate President
“Once you try to play God, God will react; Saraki played God, and he has now seen how God reacted.
“Saraki took things for granted; this is the consequence of taking things for granted,” he said.
Senator Ndume had a long running battle with the outgoing Senate President and was suspended for almost a year from the upper chambers by Saraki.
