Former Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki has denied that he antagonized the ambition of the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu to become President Muhmmadu Buhari’s running mate in 2014 for national interest.
The former presidential aspirant under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, stated this while reacting to Tinubu’s comment accusing Saraki of plotting against him in 2014.

Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State had during a meeting with delegates in Ogun State, claimed that Saraki and others opposed his desire to be Buhair’s running mate in the 2015 elections because he was a Muslim.

Reacting, Saraki, in a statement by the head of his Media Office, Yusuph Olaniyonu, stated that he would always oppose any plan that is capable of causing a religious crisis in a multi-religious country like Nigeria.

“When I and other leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2014 stood against having a Muslim-Muslim ticket, it was not a decision targeted at any individual or group but one taken in the national interest.

“Let me make it clear that the decision to oppose the plans by some people to make APC present a Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2015 was in the national interest and I will take the same stand today, tomorrow, and any other day.

“My stance is based on the fact that such a ticket is not good for the unity of the country and will further accentuate one of our fault lines.

“The opposition to a Muslim- Muslim ticket was not targeted at Tinubu or any other person. It was a decision that even all party leaders know helped the victory of the party and also worked for the unity of the country”, he said.

Saraki was a member of the ruling party when President Buhari won the 2015 presidential election.

Why Do I Sense Kàkà Kéku Máje Sèsé In The Body Language Of Tinubu?

I respect Tinubu for many reasons; his sagacity, doggedness, political clout and strategy that played an undeniable role in the demystification of the then incumbent PDP.

He birthed the the political careers of many gladiators in our political arena today as a godfather, demystified Afenifere, locked horns with the ostensibly invincible Ebora Owú and won where others that attempted it got crushed.

If you however follow my wall, you would realise I have been against his aspiration to rule this country even before he declared. Why?

1.) APC to my mind failed this country, and I don't think the party should be rewarded in the next election. In essence, I am not favorably disposed to the aspiration of any APC aspirant.

2.) Tinubu strikes me as too old and frail for that post. A stance that my friend and brother Olatunde Adekanola had taken me on extensively in both physical/verbal and virtual debates ever before Tinubu declared his interest.

3.) Tinubu does not strike me as healthy enough ��‍♂️. He strikes me as someone that would indulge in medical tourism while the country health sector remains uninspiring. Another point that my friend does not like to hear.

In fact, I didn't hide my grievance against Tinubu when his godson Fashola sacked all the striking resident doctors in Lagos State at a time. Fashola could not have mustered that courage without the backing of his godfather. I wrote extensively on the later denouncing the reckless high-handedness.

4.) I have said it repeatedly that I don't see Tinubu offering the country anything too different from what we got with PMB. The country deserves much more better.

5.) In my assessment, Tinubu is one of the stock of insincere 'monebag' politicians whose promises can't be trusted. I see Atiku in that same light actually.

- Do I have any sentimental attraction to Tinubu? Yes.

- Do I think it is the turn of SW to produce the President of Nigeria? No.

- Do I wish for a Tinubu Presidency. No.

- Do I think PMB and many of Tinubu's godsons betrayed him? Yes.

- Do I think APC has treated Tinubu well? No.

- Do I think whatever happens to him is comeuppance? Yes

- Do I like the hypocrisies of APC fans attacking Tinubu to project their preferred candidates for the Presidency slot of the party? No.

- What do I think the game plan of Tinubu is if he doesn't get the ticket?

To thwart the prospect of APC in the next election.

Should the later be justifiable? Yes.

Would it be good in the overall interest of the country? I don't know, but I hope so.

Why is Tinubu suddenly crying like a first wife who recently got a rival?
Tinubu's personal ambitions usually blind him against national interest
