Senate President Saraki Finally Eats Humble Pie, Reaches Out To Ahmed Tinubu by ayokellany: 4:57am On Aug 23, 2015
Contrary to his public posturing of defiance, the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, had started reaching out to some of the aggrieved leaders of the party.

Saraki is one of the gladiators in the clash of egos and wills that followed the Senate leadership election on June 9 and subsequent appointment of principal officers.

The Senate President had earlier visited former President Olusegun Obasanjo to help him beg President Muhammadu Buhari.

He also reportedly met with the Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi, on the same matter.

During the week, some emissaries sent by Saraki met with President Buhari and sought forgiveness for the Senate President for acting contrary to the dictates of the party.

However, sources in the party told SUNDAY PUNCH on Saturday that the emissaries also had a brief to meet with the party’s national leader and former Governor of Lagos State, Senator Bola Tinubu.

Saraki, of recent, had made strenuous efforts to meet and appeal to Tinubu to sheathe his sword. Saraki’s olive branch to Tinubu may mark a turning point in the crisis as the Senate President, before now, had insisted that he would not ‘beg’ the APC leader.

But the sources added that Saraki might have changed his position when all his efforts to get President Buhari to forgive him for his defiance to the party and move on.

It has been widely reported that Buhari has refused all entreaties to host the Senate President at the Presidential Villa since the controversial election in the senate. The President had also said the leadership of the senate should tow the party line.

“Three weeks ago he tried to get across to Tinubu through one of his aides. Of course, the aide couldn’t have arranged the meeting. Tinubu’s disposition to the matter is well known,” the source said. Another source said the last attempt took place during the week when the APC senators, who met with the President at the behest of Saraki, also tried to get across to Tinubu.

“It is a surprise that he is reaching out to Tinubu. Saraki has no respect for Tinubu. He is contemptuous of him. During meetings he refers to him contemptuously as “Bola”. In fact there was a time that Tinubu wanted to explain a point to him and he shut him up,” the source said..

“Tinubu’s take is that the senate should toe the party line. Mr. Lai Mohammed told our correspondents on Saturday that the APC believes in party supremacy.

The spokesman for the Senate President, Mr. Yusuph Olaniyonu, could not be reached on Saturday night. Calls and a text message sent to his line were not responded to.

I know Saraki by now is regreting for conceding the deputy senate presidency to the rival PDP.
It is shame and treachery to the highest level.

All this mgbati newspapers trying to keep the image of their inconsequential local champion alive. If Saraki became Senate President and got a vote of confidence from 81 senators without Tinubu"s support then he dosent need him.

Tinubu should even be the one trying to make peace with Saraki else his candidates would not pass the senatorial screening

Saraki has nothing to lose by ignoring or snubbing Tinubu. This propaganda is dead on arrival

Good for him, before they axe him.

Soon enough wailers would understand Tinubu as failing in line with the integrity stand of GMB and Saraki would have no choice but to fail in the same line sooner or later before he can preside successfully over the senate. PDP/looters charade of trying to truncate the anti corruption fught of GMB using the proxy Saraki is a million % guaranteed to fail.

Can you even imagine!!! This useless journalists want everyone to worship their local champion. What is wrong If Saraki calls Tinubu by his name Bola? The age difference between them isn't much. Do they expect him to call him uncle when the age difference between them is barely about a decade?

I presume this is the reason why Saraki is panting helter skelter to have audience with Tinubu. Waiting to see if Saraki will be foo.lish enough to watch wailers push him into the pit of ridicule like they did with the drunk from Otuoke.

The question is credibility. President Buhari got elected on the over whelming desire of Nigeria for the rule of law and end to impunity. Saraki has a pending serious corruption allegation against him and his wife. Saraki presidency of Nigeria senate is a national embarrassment. APC just like PDP is a combination of evil doers and saint wannabes.
Saraki and David Mark represent the selfishness and corruption of our government in totality.
Tinubu is not a saint. But he represent the possibility of the changes that are possible. The change in government today were the result of all members of the APC family.
One man stood out for special thanks for the original strategic management of the master plan, that man is Tinubu. Tinubu and Buhari were the combination that brought about the change we have today. For better for worse APC is in power..
Saraki lack of understanding of public relations and respect for constituted authority shall continue to land him in hot water.

Ironically, your master has been running from pillar to post seeking PMB's favor ever since his adopted 49 PDP Senators pledged allegiance to the President, whose position is Tinubu/the party's position and we don't need a 'mgbati' newspaper to decipher that.

Saraki,S arrogance is well documented, no doubt.
But was Tinubu expecting Saraki to appellate his name with Brother or Uncle or what?
Whatever APC intends doing about Saraki let them do it speedily and stop wasting taxpayers time.

Tinubu this buhari that. Saraki is the senate president QED if apc/buhari don't get it, they need psychiatrist! Come 2019 Saraki won't be seeking election on apc platform and he will win with whichever party he uses in kwara. To the buhariyyas, get over it PDP remains formidable and won't die as u wish cos it took 16yrs for pdp to be defeated at federal level, it certainly won't take near that to do away with this error government and their gaffes. Integrity my foot!
