Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, on
Sunday, responded to a statement said to
have been issued by the National Leader of
his party, the ruling All Progressives
Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, where
he (Tinubu), while reacting to a recent
media report by a national daily (not
Vanguard), accused Saraki of crass
disloyalty to party discipline, giving the
manner he captured his current seat as
Senate President.
But in a swift reaction, Saraki who took to
his Facebook page, said he had seen the
statement said to be issued by Senator
Tinubu over the published story, but have
decided not to join issues with him.
Recall that on Saturday, the national daily
had in its publication alleged that the former
Lagos State governor, is reportedly angered
that the ministerial candidates he sent to
President Muhammadu Buhari didn’t scale
through.
The daily reported that Tinubu who was
visibly angry is said to have conspired with
Senator Bukola Saraki to thwart the
President Buhari-led administration, adding
that for this reason, the President had
ordered the security agencies to place
Tinubu under security surveillance.
While reacting on Sunday, in a statement
signed by his chief of staff and special
media adviser, Sunday Dare, Tinubu,
lambasted the daily, saying it took a sad
excursion from journalism into the realm of
gothic tales and political slander. Among other things, Tinubu affirmed that he
“remains glued to the party decision that the
manner by which Saraki captured his
current seat travestied party discipline. It
was a crass act of disloyalty showing that
Saraki may have joined the APC on paper
but has remained true to the malpractices
and wrong aims of the reactionary PDP in
his soul.”

SARAKI’S REACTION
Reacting however, Saraki said: “I saw the
statement said to be issued by Senator Bola
Ahmed Tinubu over a story published by a
national daily. I have decided not to join
issues with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
However, I know that most Nigerians are
aware that there has been no meeting or
communication between me and Asiwaju
Tinubu since I was elected Senate President.
“Therefore, I do not see any basis for a
newspaper to report that we are both
plotting to oppose the President. I recognise
Tinubu as one of the leaders of the APC who
contributed so much to the victory of the
party in the last election. Some other people
also contributed and I believe the collective
efforts made it possible for the first time in
the history of our party for an opposition
party to win the general elections.
“Let me state clearly that I remain a
committed member of the APC and will do
all in my power to ensure the party fulfill its
promises to bring positive changes into the
country. Since my election as Senate
President, my focus and efforts have been
devoted to doing the job that I was elected
to do by my constituents and my colleagues
in the Senate. Twice, my colleagues have
confirmed their support for me as the
primus inter pares in the Senate.
“As I said in my speech when we resumed
from our recess late September and in
Ikenne yesterday (Saturday) the screening of
ministerial nominees will be handled by me
and my colleagues with all sense of
responsibility and in adherence to the
provision of the constitution.
“We will be fair to all and be guided by the
interest of Nigeria. The screening will be
devoid of sentiment and it is not an
opportunity for anybody to settle scores. We
are equally eager for us to make a positive
difference in our polity and Nigerians will be
able to judge us whether we acted in their
best interest or not,” added the Senate
President.

Tinubu is already dying politically!! Saraki played a key role in his impending political demise!! There is no need replying a dying and desperate man.

Tinubu peleoo there is always a big difference between ludo you are so used to and the more complex game of chess

Tinubu may seem irrelevant for now...... 2019 is around the corner
Like the Yoruba's will say 'ojulopesi ashiere logbagbe'
On the other hand... Saraki
How could he believe Baba.. Someone who has kept him at arm's length since he became SP.
Baba will simply use and dump him
He will still face the tribunal. He should enjoy the fun while it lasts..
No matter sarakis political shenanigans, he can never become a president in Nigeria
Hausa's will never support an half-bood Yoruba.
Saraki is only suffering from Megalomania

I agree with you, but not quite.
Tinubu is still much more relevant than saraki.
Tinubu still wields much power in the south-west.
Who is Saraki?
He's only suffering from megalomania
He's lost the control of his own base
He was stoned just last month..
No matter how hard saraki tries, his influence will never go beyond Ilorin. He can't go beyond the senate presidency...
He can keep attaching himself to the north... Hausas won't consider him for presidency
Not the Hausa's of Nigeria where those of the Northwest feels superior to those of the Northeast, how much more a man from Ilorin!

That's there problem, I want to solve my problem..

make them continue, I have mine to face

if dis is going to continue so Nigeria can develop, den I am cool with it





anyway, sanity has left the land

No more jonathan to attack....

On this matter, I know where Asiwaju Tinubu stands. He remains glued to the party decision that the manner by which Saraki captured his current seat travestied party discipline. It was a crass act of disloyalty showing that Saraki may have joined the APC on paper but has remained true to the malpractices and wrong aims of the reactionary PDP in his soul.
We are solidly behind Asiwaju on this matter. Saraki has shown that he's just a proponent of the 'change mantra' in word not in deed. Hence he'll be treated as an outcast until he retrace his steps.

D story just begun d ring is set
ACTION"

Allright. The fight has finally started.

At least Saraki is Senate President, a position Tinubu is yet to attain and will never attain in his life!!

BTW Saraki does not need Buhari's blessing to continue been relevant in the scheme of things!!! As long as he still has the backing of majority of the senators, he would continue to be much more relevant than your local champion

just do ur job n finish the rest in prison

APC fighting APC since June 6,2015!!!
A house built on fraud will never stand!

Its expected brother, apc is made up of different arms of existing political parties so differences will certainly exist .... Tell me when pdp became stable after winning 1999 general election?

Today bastard, may be soul saving tomorrow.....

Its all about Personal interest.. kill yourselves jare. who cares

Did u read the story? The answer is NO!

You glanced throuyh the topic, saw TINUBU, you quickly pick ur phone and began to write whatever comes ur mind.

Characteristics of a frustrated wailer

Tinubu installs people into positions not the other way round..
A man who install Governors in the Southwest..
It may seem like he's lost out in the game.... Its just for now
Its only a matter of time before he comes up with a bigger strategy for 2019
He's still so much behind the case against saraki

Backing you said?
I don't see anyway his cahoot will assist him in his tribunal.
He's still sitting on a keg of gun powder.
We have seen instances in the past where legislators get vote of confidence and they were impeached in the long run.
Either ways.. 'Saraki can't be the SP for 4 years'

The party will crash (just as PDP started to slide from 2007). The crash of APC has even started and will manifesy soon. The good news for the APC is that it will help them weed off the chaffs but the bad news is that it will cost them 2019.

Tinubu is still relevant, he didn't expect what he saw,but trust him,he will laugh last.
