A group under the aegis of the Nigerians in Diaspora Monitoring Group (NDMG), has called on the Senate President, Bukola Saraki to resign.
The group also offered to help Saraki to write his resignation letter.
The group, in a statement sent to Daily Trust via mail, said"His (Saraki) failure to declare his assets or falsifying any declaration he did made is a violation of the Code of Conduct for Public Officers as spelt out in the constitution. A lawbreaker has no business leading the nation’s law making arm. Revelations of the Panama Papers about his offshore assets, which were not declared by the way, are enough reason for Saraki to have done the needful.
"His co-traveller in the Panama affair and former Icelandic Prime Minister, Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson, has demonstrated what a man does when he compromises his honour but Saraki failed to understand the concept.”
The group also blamed Saraki for masterminding the 2016 budget fiasco.
Meanwhile, the Federal Government has added two more charges to the 13 count charge of false declaration of asset against Saraki.
The Senate President has also stated that he is being victimised by some powerful people in the All Progressives Congress (APC), because he opposed a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket.
