BREAKING: Saraki Dumps APC by iamsparrow(m): 1:39pm On Jul 21, 2016 |
Fresh report suggests that the embattled Preside
of the Nigerian Senate, Dr. Olubukola Saraki ha
defected back to former party, the People
Democratic Party, PDP
Saraki's reported defection comes in barely 2
hours when he reiterated his loyalty to his form
Party APC.
According to an online news platform, Nigeria
Times who exclusively reported on Saraki'
defection, the Senate President unofficially defecte
to the PDP at a secret meeting with the PD
caucus yesterday evening at the Abuja home of hi
deputy in the Senate, Ike Ekeremadu at the Ap
Legislative Quarters.
Our source further revealed that, after t
meeting,Ike Ekweremadu, Deputy Senate Presiden
led a group of senators to Goodluck Jonathan’
Maitama home to brief him. The meeting wit
Jonathan is on going at press time.
Saraki has been facing prosecution at the Code
Conduct Tribunal for falsely declare assets.
A source who was at the meeting told Nigeria
Times that Saraki, who has faced persecution fro
the leadership of his party, the All Progressive
Congress (APC) decided to leave the party an
return to the PDP, which he left in 2014 with fiv
PDP Governors.
The source said Saraki says he will use the PD
as a platform to actualize his ambition. He adde
that Saraki is likely to take with him to the PD
APC Senators loyal to him. This would affect t
balance of power in the Senate as the PDP woul
most like upturn the APC’s majority in the Re
Chamber.
“Saraki has finally had it with the APC and t
Buhari government. He believes he has face
enough embarassment and persecution from the
after his investments to help the party wrest pow
from the PDP, ” our source said.
Last week, he was in Sokoto, on the pretext
condoling the family of late Umaru Shinkaffi. B
sources familiar with the Saraki travails told th
our source that he met with the Sultan of sokoto t
prevail on President Mohammadu Buhari to p
back his loyalists are who bent on sending Sara
to jail. And as a last ditch effort, he got form
senate presidents to visit Buhari earlier in t
week.
Saraki’s defection back to the PDP will not co
as a surprise to watchers of Nigerian politic
Since his emergence as President of the Senate, h
has been at odds with his party, the APC over wh
the party feels was his decision to present himse
as candidate for the Senate Presidency against t
party’s wish. The APC’s preferred candidate, wa
Ahmed Lawan. |

A very good idea,Bubu needed to be taught a hard lesson. It's always good to apply wisdom not stubbornness all the time. There are so many ways to kill a rat without making noise or shedding its blood. 1 Like |

Wey the link? Abi, na blogger hoax?! Although, Wouldn't be surprised if this is true. The level of petty squabbling in APC was previously not envisioned. And despite enough warnings to all parties to sheathe swords and evolve an effective ruling party from the structure of a formidable opposition party that APC fielded, the schemes continued. Now that he's decamped, let's hope he's not gonna reenact what Amaechi did to PDP to APC because the guy's quute strong in that Senate and this is one of the major cues that PDP's being waiting for. Nigerian politicians need to learn to resolutely prioritize. An example: Put the longterm before the transients e.g. The Republic first, then the Party, then your Interests & petty squabbles. These Naija politicians are just busy doing nothing at the expense of the people and Naija posterity. Let them go and learn abeg. Everybody shouting Illuminati yet forgetting there is much you may yet learn for your benefit, if you can settle down to observe, even your enemy well! |
