Saraki's Travails, APC's Loss And PDP's Gain by TonyeBarcanista(m): 9:05pm On Sep 18, 2015 |
The travails of Senator Bukola Saraki and his faction in APC is a pointer that all is not well with the political structure of APC. There are two power blocs in the APC fighting for the soul of the party. On one side is President Buhari and Bola Tinubu backed, on the other side is the Senator Saraki led Likeminds rebels. Irrespective of where the pendulum swing, the GREATEST beneficiary will be the PDP if it get its act right. The APC Crises and Travails of Saraki The emergence of Saraki as the Senate President and Ekweremadu as the Deputy created a crack and bad blood within the ruling the party. Saraki's insistence on 'appointing' his preferred candidates for the Senate's Principal offices instead of the party candidates was a move that set a brick-wall against ANY reconciliation. Then came Saraki's ongoing travails with the Code of Conduct Bureau that is likely to sweep him(which is his business). APC's Loss It is no doubt that Bukola Saraki controls the APC political structure of Kwara state. He has the unalloyed loyalty of Governor Fatah Ahmed and other state officials. He also has the loyalty of NASS contingents from Kwara state. Outside Kwara state he enjoys support of his co-APC rebels majorly in the North Central. This advently means that a faction of APC Chieftains loyal to Saraki will be at loggerhead with leadership of the party over the 'treatment' of their comrade. The crack in the APC means a shrink in the party structure. Recall that APC could only win through marginal advantage of less than 3million votes. This crack literally mean that APC structures has weaned especially in Kwara state and other little areas where the rebellious APC legislators and chieftains have influence. I am very optimistic that there's going to be more fall-out among party faithfuls. APC Chieftains may succeed in cutting short Saraki and his co-rebels ambitions but they also have helped in decimating portions of their structure. PDP Must Be Prepared And Be Careful: PDP need to manage themselves and must put machinery in place to manage the forthcoming convention of the party. It must not afford to mismanage every pre and post convention events. More importantly the PDP must take advantage of absorbing young people and redefine itself with the knowledge that they will be going into 2019 against a divided ruling APC (hopefully, there will be more cracks in the coming months/years). APC Internal Problem Isn't Unexpected: On April 02 (about 24 hours after Buhari was declared winner of the March 28 Presidential election), I did an article Titled Arise O' PDP, The Future Is Bright. In the said article, I anticipated this crack within the APC though I never knew that it will come 'too soon'. I shall conclude this piece with excerpt from that article. I am very optimistic that power will change hand in 2019 as the ruling government-elect is nothing but conspiracy by some group of undemocratic political oligarchs that are bent on wrestling power from the outgoing incumbent to further their selfish political and self-economic interests using General Muhammadu Buhari as a front and media propaganda as weapon. When the joy of electoral victory is over and the business of governance set in from May 29, the real intention of the Buhari backers will begin to emerge though the manifestation may take some months or up to a year. The battle to control the machinery of the party(APC) and the government among the political oligarchs will emerge on one hand. On another hand there will be the inevitable confrontation between overbearing party leaders and elected/appointed officials. https://www.nairaland.com/2236507/arise-o-pdp-future-bright May God Bless PDP Power To The People! 206 Likes 26 Shares |

Well let's see how the game ends. On more serious note the apc is one of crook party I have ever seen that is one of the reasons I do not support buhari. I watch with dismay how apc was ready to bring down Nigeria because they hate gej. When saraki went against the party wish I know trouble is coming. 59 Likes 5 Shares |

If I hear, TonyeBarcanista, lol, listen here, Tinubu is not a fool, He knows what he's doing, PDP for now doesn't have the mercy of the masses. Distracting saraki by nailing his wife could not work, removing him on grounds that the procedure was forged could not work, if Tinubu did not plot his graph well, he will not have continued witch hunting him. He knows how to nail others, and he's working on it before 2019, even Godswill Akpabio maybe nailed. He knows what to do to sway others over, see what is happening to Bayelsa state Cc Truckpusher Rozayx5 bomsilaga exxel erunz dunsman Nigerianvenom Ishiamu Phockphockman, nwadiuko1, ibokUtoroh, Koded, Ecoterrors, iPrinz20 Aprokoman, Whynotthetruth, Dearpreye, Firefire, Francizy, Temitemi1, Hinwazaka Ecoterrors, Dumkem21 Biafranqueen, Mogidi, Mizmycoli, IsraeliAirforce, Candyrain, Ambivert, Rose2014, Provacateur, Opiaoku, NDPVF, Anonimi, Engineerboat, Talktimi, ahaika23, coolestrogue 7 Likes |

Mumu OP Keep sounding like a broken chord till you follow him to jail. You no even get shame. PDP is dead and buried. Take it or leave it. The likes of Ekweremadu, Mark and co. will abandon Saraki then he will know his true friends. This is not just about dishing out money. Saraki should have learnt his lesson. Maybe he thinks he is still in PDP or that he can do what he did to his father in Kwara. 136 Likes 7 Shares |

warrior01: Very democratic in corruption. The umbrella that protects all. We fly to your protection oh umbrella, despise not our theft and our greed. Saraki has truly learnt his lesson that APC, unlike PDP, is not the refuge for his type of person. Femi Fani Kayode realised early and ran back to PDP where he got refuge and his court case disappeared in typical PDP efficiency when it is not a public infrastructure or utility that will benefit the masses. Saraki will end up returning all his family, including his father, have ever stolen. 17 Likes |

Recall that APC could only win through marginal advantage of less than 3million votes.A ruling party losing with 3 million votes?...even after all the inflated votes from SS/SE. They controlled so much money and all the institutions of State yet they lost by that margin. If another election is conducted today PDP will loose by more than 10 million votes. That margin will even be bigger come 2019. 28 Likes 2 Shares |
