Saraki Seeks Emir’s Help On Buhari by noblepassmercy: 8:20am On Aug 02, 2015



In his efforts to make peace with the Presidency over its distaste on the composition of the senate leadership, Senate President Bukola Saraki, has resorted to seeking the assistance of emirs and traditional rulers, SUNDAY PUNCH has learnt.

In realising this objective, the senate president, has sought the help of the Emir of his home town, Ilorin, Kwara State, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, an aide of the emir told our correspondent.

President Buhari, since the inauguration of the 8th Senate on June 9, has reportedly been shunning Saraki whose emergence and that of his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu of the Peoples Democratic Party did not go down well with the leadership of the All Progressives Congress.

According to the emir’s aide who spoke on condition of anonymity, the senate president has requested some prominent traditional rulers in the state led by Sulu-Gambari, who is also the Chairman, Kwara State Council of Traditional Rulers to intercede on his behalf with Buhari.

It was gathered that the monarchs had wanted to meet with Buhari but could not as a result of the President’s visit to the United States and his recent visit to Cameroon to seek for regional collaboration against Boko Haram.

The aide also told our correspondent that this would not be the first time Sulu-Gambari had interceded on behalf of Saraki concerning the senate presidency.

According to him, the Emir of Ilorin before the emergence of Saraki as the Senate President had sent a team of emissaries to the National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, with a view to getting the former Lagos State governor soften on his stand against Saraki’s ambition to occupy the exalted position.

He said Saraki is now more worried with the resolution of the leadership tussle in the House of Representatives, where the Speaker, Alhaji Yakubu Dogora, after meetings with Buhari and other APC stakeholders acceded to the party’s decision and announced Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila as the House Leader.

The aide added that Saraki was in Ilorin at the weekend, adding that the Senate President would continue with his mobilisation for prominent stakeholders to smoothen the relationship between him and Buhari.

But in a telephone interview with our correspondent, the spokesperson for the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Solihu Mohammed, said though he could not confirm Sulu-Gambari’s mediatory role between Buhari and Saraki, the Emir had been playing unifying roles for the sustenance of the nation’s democracy.

Mohammed said, “I am not aware that Saraki has approached the emir to smoothen relationship with the senate president and the president of the country.”

Saraki should know that it is impossible to please Buhari and PDP at the same time. He should make his choice.

In the last meeting of APC governors, they were all against him. They only differed on dealing with him now or after the police investigation. The way senators reacted to the nation's article showed that when the line is drawn, northern senators won't be against Buhari. As a betrayal, his best bet is to do what he knows how to do well, betray Ekweremadu to save his head.

Being in Buhari's good record is minor. Saraki needs to see me instead. Please don't come on an empty hands. At least he should meet me with those billions he stole in Kwara. Buhari is my boy- he fears me a lot.

Saraki my man, I love his chess game strategy.

When you burn the bridges after getting to the battle field on an island, then you have no choice than to win the war.

What happens to the platform that produced Saraki - the Outsmarterer of old politicians?
Honestly, they didn't know he could go as far as he went before calling him to a peace deal.

Saraki should seek David Mark's help first before the Emirs' help.

Now he's running from pillar to post trying to make amends just like Opolo Eyes.

When he was being driven by raw lust for power, did he consult anyone besides his buddies in the Killer Party?? He should go back to them to intercede on his behalf.

Wetin dis pastor dey talk sef??

So Buhari has suddenly become a demigod? If his past atrocities were considered against him, he would never have become president today. Saraki (even though I don't like his antecedent as a person) should call the President's bluff and move on.
