Senate Presidency: Why I Boycotted Apc Primary Election – Bukola Saraki by ridwanomooba: 12:37pm On Jun 07, 2015 |
Former governor of Kwara State and a major contender for the seat of Senate President in the 8th Assembly, Senator Bukola Saraki has explained why he boycotted the mock primary election organised by the APC on Saturday to elect the party’s candidate for the Senate Presidency. Saraki explained his decision to boycott the primary in a statement signed by Dino Melaye and Ahmed Sani. The statement reads: “We the Senators-Elect of Like Minds today 6TH of June 2015, on the invitation of our party, attended an interactive meeting with selected 5 members from each group, the Unity Forum and the Like Minds Group. “Regrettably, the Unity Forum insisted on open ballot voting which we discovered is different from the electoral process used to conduct the earlier election with the House of Representatives members elect. To us, this open ballot voting is primitive; undemocratic and against universal electoral norms and practice. “In the light of the above, we the Senators elect of Like Minds hereby insist on our position of Open Secret voting process which we believe is in consonance with the provisions of the electoral act, the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and the universal electoral values. “As responsible citizens of Federal Republic of Nigeria, and leaders in our own right, we have resolved and hereby state that we shall not be part of a process that promotes undemocratic electoral process that may resort to rancorous and uncivil situations which inhibits the rights of individuals to vote for the candidate of their choice, as this process will further divide us than unite members of our party. “In conclusion we the Senators-Elect of Like Minds wish to state categorically that we will participate only in the constitutional election scheduled for Tuesday, the 9th of June 2015 in line with the rules of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. “We by this press release invite the media to a joint press conference by the 65 Senators-Elect of Like Minds drawn from across party lines on Monday morning, the 8thof June 2015.” Read full story here: http://www.today.ng/politics/senate-presidency-why-i-boycotted-apc-primary-election-bukola-saraki/ |

Something tells me this Saraki may not be the best to lead the senate.Too much baggage,too much desperation,not a good combination.The only positive thing he seems to have is a rebellion against a certain godfather. If however he wins,so be it.Democracy sometimes throws up the completely clueless,as we just had and the bad but redeemable,as Saraki may turn out to be and d desired as we havebin PMB. 1 3/4 is not bad in a democracy that is still fledging. |
