What Saraki Told Obasanjo Today- Premium Times by Clerverly: 1:23pm On Jun 19, 2015 |
Facts have emerged showing why Senate President Bukola Saraki led a delegation of Senators to meet former President Olusegun Obasanjo at his hilltop mansion, Abeokuta, Ogun state on Friday. A source who was part of the meeting informed PREMIUM TIMES that the Senate President was in Abeokuta to beg Mr. Obasanjo to reconcile him with President Muhammadu Buhari and his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC. Mr. Saraki emerged as the president of the Senate against the decision of APC leaders. He was also elected when most Senators from the APC were at the International Conference Centre waiting to hold a meeting with Mr. Buhari to discuss the election of the Senate president and Speaker of the House of Representatives. We also gathered that Mr. Saraki lamented that although the party leaders have stated that they have accepted his emergence, there was “complete communication breakdown between him, the president and the party”. The national chairman of the APC, John Oyegun, had abruptly cancelled a scheduled meeting with Mr. Saraki last week without giving another appointment. Likewise, we also gathered that Mr. Saraki had tried severally to meet with Mr. Buhari after his emergence, but was always denied audience. Another source in the presidency informed us that the President was angry with Mr. Saraki and the management of the national assembly for going ahead with their election despite adequate knowledge of an invitation for a meeting with Mr. Saraki and his colleagues. “The president considered it as a mark of disrespect for his office for Saraki to ignore an invitation to meet with him and his colleagues,” our source said. In his response, Mr. Obasanjo promised to do his best to “ensure communication between all parties”. However, the spokesperson for the president, Garba Shehu, said the Senate president did not seek to meet with Mr. Buhari. “I am not aware of any request for a meeting, the president would have seen him, he represents a key institution in our democracy,” he said. Calls to Mr. Saraki and his aide, Bamikole Omishore, were not answered. However, the former president in his usual self also joked with the delegation, saying “ you children of nowadays only run to elders when you have finished making the damage”. PREMIUM TIMES also learnt that after he was informed of the visit, Mr. Obasanjo called Mr. Buhari to inform him that Mr. Saraki is leading a delegation of Senators to his Abeokuta home and Mr. Buhari simply said “you have to see them now, are they not your boys?”. Among Mr. Saraki’s delegation include former governor of Gombe state, Danjuma Goje, Andy Uba, former Zamfara governor, Ahmed Sani, Olagunsoye Oyinlola and others. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/185359-what-saraki-told-obasanjo.html

This will put to rest insinuations from the tanoids that Buhari was part of the plot to disobey the party decision and impose saraki in other to checkmate Tinubu. OBJ should in his usual statesmanly role help resolve the Nass leadership crisis before it finally gets out of hand. APC leaders, including Buhari and Tinubu should also try and find a middle ground with Saraki in this matter and let peace reign. Nigerians are expecting the APC government to settle down quickly and hit the ground running. Enough of this NASS assembly leadership distraction please. And to the enemies of Nigeria who have been trying to cause disaffection between Buhari and Tinubu, sorry for the dissapointment. Buhari and Tinubu will continue to work together for the unity and progress of this great country. 1 Like |

Can this APC get their shiiiii together for crying out loud. We need good governance not this BS plzz. All these running around politicking instead of siting their motherfvcking azzz down is fvckin irritating. And to u Buhari, I'm old enough to know that these people running around are same people that brought her to her knees. The North remembers. |

FreeGlobe: I can feel your pain and disappointment. But, the story is very true. OBJ will help reconcile Saraki and the APC leadership against the desire of tanoids like you. The interest of Nigeria supersede the bigoted desire of some of you who are daily praying for the APC government to fail. |
