The President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, on Wednesday adduced reason for his absence at the Eid-el-Fitr praying ground in Florin, Kwara State for this year’s end of Ramadan prayer.

Saraki was attacked by an irate mob last year September at the praying ground.

His absence thus fuelled the feeling that he was avoiding another round of attack.

But Saraki, who wrote on his Twitter handle in reaction to the story publish on his absence at praying ground, said: “A quick search would show I usually spend last 10 days (of the Ramadan) in lesser hajj.”
