Why Buhari Has Refused To Meet Saraki by LocalChamp: 12:57am On Jun 20, 2015 |
Why Buhari Has Refused To Meet Saraki BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKJUN 19, 2015 President Muhammadu Buhari has refused to meet one-on-one with Senator Bukola Saraki two weeks after the latter connived with top officials of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to win the post of Senate President in a move that both stunned and angered the hierarchy of the All Progressives Congress (APC). SaharaReporters learned that Senator Saraki had made several overtures to get a private meeting with Mr. Buhari, to no avail. One source revealed that Mr. Saraki’s latest attempt was to follow the president to his hometown of Daura in Katsina State to take in the commencement of the Islamic Ramadan period. The president reportedly rebuffed the move. Following President Buhari’s rebuff, Mr. Saraki reportedly arranged a quiet visit to Vice President Yemi Osibanjo to apologize for an insulting remark he had made in the heat of his high-stakes maneuver to win the leadership of the Senate by striking an alliance with the PDP. Top APC officials claimed that Mr. Saraki had turned down an invitation by VP Osibanjo to discuss his contentious pursuit of the Senate Presidency by stating contemptuously that “a mere commissioner” could not summon him to a meeting. Mr. Osibanjo, a former commissioner in Lagos State, had sought to meet with Senator Saraki in order to resolve a crisis that arose from the latter’s scheme to outmaneuver his party, the APC. Following Mr. Saraki’s emergence as Senate President in an election described by officials of the APC as irregular, Mr. Buhari had publicly accepted his triumph. Even so, the president has refused to do anything that would amount to a public validation of Mr. Saraki’s victory. Two associates of Mr. Buhari told SaharaReporters that the president shared the APC’s dismay with Mr. Saraki’s alliance with the PDP to snatch up the top Senate post. “The fact of the matter is that the president [Mr. Buhari] will not abandon the party’s position altogether,” one of our sources said. Another added, “Mr. President [Buhari] has never been comfortable anyway with Dr. Saraki since [Mr. Saraki] is well known as a corrupt person who will try to hinder the administration’s fight against corruption.” One source in the Senate told SaharaReporters that Senator Saraki, troubled by President Buhari’s refusal to meet with him, reached out to former President Olusegun Obasanjo to broker a truce with the president. The source said Mr. Saraki had used a personal friend, Andy Uba, a senator from Anambra State, to seek Mr. Obasanjo’s intervention to mend the cold rift with President Buhari. Mr. Uba, who served as a senior aide on domestic matters to Mr. Obasanjo, was one of the closest and most powerful associates of the former president. A source at the Presidency told SaharaReporters that President Buhari was not impressed by Mr. Saraki’s reasons for colluding with the PDP to gain power as Senate President. “The way Senator Saraki colluded with the PDP to gain power through the backdoor, what prevents him from colluding against Buhari in the future? What prevents him from even working with certain political interests to get Mr. President impeached?” the source stated. http://saharareporters.com/2015/06/19/why-buhari-has-refused-meet-saraki 21 Likes 5 Shares |

Omotolu:U folks are just insensitive .... Did Tinubu not give ACN votes in Lagos to Jonathan, instead of Ribadu the flagbearer in 2011 ...... It was only Osun GEJ lost in the whole of SW. There is no permanent enemy or friendship in Politics .... there is no Judas nor Jesus in Politics .... all what we have is Interest and Ideology .... ...... There is no political ideology in Nigeria ..... Tinubu also fell into the pit he fought PDP against in Tambuwal/Mulikat Adeola's saga. Buhari has officially came out and announced to work with the constitutionally elected leadership of the National Assembly which is Saraki and Dogara ...... Abdsallam Abubakar has paid courtesy visit to the Senate President while the Senate President has also paid courtesy visit to Obasanjo and Atiku ..... even when Tinubu,Oyegun and LieMohammed were playing Opposition Politics in their ruling party..... Imagine ![]() Saraki is the Senate President of Nigeria, he doesn't need to sought or court Buhari ..... when there is official business to be done or party resolution both of them will converge ... when there is not, each of them will maintain their official duty and responsibilities. Tinubu has lost this one and he is keen on losing the next one .... this is not Regional/Southwest Politics. Juventus na D champion of serie A as Barcelona na champion of la liga but when dey meet for nuetral ground .... we sabi D champion of champions .... Tinubu should chill. Saraki do not need to court Buhari .... both of them are check on one another and their romance will not be good for our Democracy ....... Buhari is a principled man and a true agent and leader of change unlike Tinubu, Lai Mohammed and Oyegun .... bunch of confused fellows. 59 Likes 3 Shares |

Lushcream: Do you even understand the crux of the argument andd the reason PMB is upset ![]() 1.Did tambuwal pick a deputy from the then ACN 2. Why is dogara not having the same pr nightmare despite also going into coalition with pdp. That PMB publicly accepted a fait accompli doesn't not mean he privately supports it!! Saraki is the Senate President of Nigeria, he doesn't need to sought or court Buhari ..... when there is official business to be done or party resolution both of them will converge ... when there is not, each of them will maintaintheir official duty and responsibilities. If saraki didn't need to court pmb, he wouldn't be running from pillar to post,he wishes he could undo the ekweremadu thing cos he is never ever going to live that down. Saraki is presently suffering from an image and credibility issue based on his past corrupt practices that only a public acknowledgement from pmb can salvage. 53 Likes 1 Share |

Saharareporters will try everything in their trick to report such a biased and unprofessional news just to make it seem as if Buhari is not in support of Saraki's emergence. Have Buhari also met with Dogara the new House of Rep's speaker? Sahareporters have not yet still recovered from the shock and bloodied-nose Saraki dealt Tinubu. Why Tinubu and his media arms continue to live in denial and deceive people that Buhari is not in support of Saraki/Dogara's emergence, Atiku who is now Buharis's closest political Ally is doing the political dirty job for Buhari. The Die is Cast. Tinubu should just remain abroad, because any further ploitcal-manuovering by him, will lead to his final Demise as a politician, even in the southwest. When the gods want to kill you, they make you mad first. A word is enough for the wise. Tinubu take note. 17 Likes 1 Share |
