He is the joker of his political power group for the 2019 presidential election. And their plan is to upset the political apple cart of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. But can Saraki win the support of the south west?

No way Saraki in the South West

Saraki is a joker.

While others see Saraki as a tracherious son of a brat who is rebelliously on quest for personal agrendicement through Political Betrayal, I see an indivual who is Goal Oriented, Visionary and Open Minded who refused to be Caged politically and cut off from Nation Building by few godfathers who's personal ambitions are executed under the cover of Party through 'Authoritarian' rule.

Then why is he apologizing for what he has done?

Politics makes the strangest bedfellows.

Saraki just like every other Nigerian has the right to aspire to any position in the country and has the right too to fight anyone who fights against his ambition. Calling him names for pursuing his dream is like telling us Ahmed Lawan has more right than he does to become Senate President which we all know is false. I don't see anywhere it's in the constitution that only Lawan and APC should determine who becomes the Senate President. Saraki and the opposition parties have a say and right too which they have excercised so quit your se useless ranting.
APC got it all wrong when they showed or told Saraki that he isn't worthy and he has to use the only weapon available to him (alliance with the opposition) to show them he's more than worthy. BTW when he decamped from PDP back then why didn't the APC tell him he isn't welcomed and isn't worthy to occupy the no 3 position? You can use him and dump him, what has Lawan that he doesn't have? How is Lawan more worthy and capable?

Even in the US, the overall interest of the party is paramount.
The disloyalty of Senator Bukola Saraki to the leadership of his party in pursuit of his personal selfish interest does not augur well for the APC and as we can see that Saraki is still PDP at heart and joining the APC has not changed him.
If Saraki and Atiku remained in the PDP, the plans of the party for 2019 elections would not favour them.
Lest we forget, Atiku has not given up his presidential ambition. And I actually felt sorry for him when former President Olusegun Obasanjo for personal vendetta stopped Atiku from succeeding him and denied Nigeria of having a better, healthier and stronger President, because Atiku would have become the best Nigerian President from northern Nigeria.

Nigeria doesn't belong to any party and as such all parties in the bargain should have a say and besides it isn't constitutional that the majority party must produce the Senate President (at least that we were told during the Tambuwal saga by APC supporters). I think the question you have failed to address is what makes Lawan better than Saraki that Saraki must sacrifice his dream for.
Talking about Atiku and Buhari you may wish to recall that APC at the presidential primaries didn't ask Atiku to step down for Buhari, he with Kwankwaso and Okorocha contested and lost so that analogy doesn't hold here.
