Adams Oshiomhole, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has asked Senate President Bukola Saraki to step down.

Speaking with journalists after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari and some APC senators in Abuja on Wednesday, the party chairman said the senate president collected a crown that belonged to a family to wear in another.

On Tuesday, Saraki defected from APC to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Oshiomhole said the senate president must return the crown to the house where it belongs, since the APC is still the largest party in the senate.

“Nobody in the APC will be surprised about the development. In fact, they have stayed little bit longer than we thought. Last week, the Kwara state governor said he was leaving but he didn’t say when. So, we are not surprised at all,” he said.

“But these are what I might call temping moments because I had faced similar situations in my state when people were leaving. But the beauty of democracy is that whether big or small, it is one man one vote on election day, no difference between a senator, a president, a journalist and any other person.

“In a sense, we have to accept that once a couple for any reason or the other find that they not compatible, the only honourable thing is to go.”

He expressed delight that Saraki acknowledged the role the APC under him played not to lose key members.

“I was happy for one thing is that the senate president as a mark of honour accepted that he is leaving not because the new leadership did not make effort, he admitted that not only did I do everything possible along with the vice-president, along with some governors and we had meeting with the president, but he argued that those efforts came too late,” he said.

“But whatever is the reason, we can decamp from a party but we can’t decamp from Nigeria, the only thing is that there are other consequential issues that every man or woman of honour who had taken such decisions would be expected to follow through.

“I mean you should not collect a crown that belongs to a family and wear it on behalf of the family if for your personal reasons which he has enumerated that he has gone to another family. It is just a matter of honour to leave the crown in the house that the crown belongs to. As it stands even now, APC is still the largest party in the senate, we have 53 senators, that is much more than PDP has, or APGA has.

“So, I think the important thing is that our democracy is still evolving, there are a couple of lessons to learn from the development.”

They are all power drunk.the comrade took his governorship crown from PDP to APC. Tambuwal ,
And a whole lot of them did not resign their position in 2014 when they port to APC, so why now? A case of what is good for PDP should be good APC. First to do no dey pain.

No two adjectives better describe Buhari than 'incompetent' and 'corrupt'. Ask every unbiased Nigerian.

Sarkin:
Buhari is NEVER corrupt.
What does he needs corrupt money and materials for?
He's a humble and simple lifestyle man.

But people still direct hate, false and absurd accusations at him for just trying to fix it the country.

With the hate that innocent man receives; it shows he's really God sent.

He is not kwarupt but PTDF is still fresh on our minds. Perhaps you are one of the indomie generation. Comot for road make we pass jor since your dictionary has another definition for corruption.
In your myopic thinking corruption is only when you steal money.
Zombie and idiotic pig of Buhari, below is the definition of kwaruption according Merriam Webster Dictionary.

Sarkin:
what generation are you? From the Biafran war??
So because Merriam Webster defined corruption it must be universally recognized as the only term for corruption?
This is an issue that requires intellect but the jobless aggressive lazy pigs of Biafra prefers to fail common sense and jump into the bottomless pit of conclusion.

4kDdullard:
Zombie and idiotic pigs of Buhari, you folks think in a myopic way. I put it to you that you don't know the meaning of kwarrupsion, you as shallow as that thing in Aso Rock who doesn't know why he was elected president.
Now tell me what is kwarrupsion if you have any atom of brain. Below is another definition of corruption according to Oxford so stop marketing your stewpidity.
