Why Were Saraki, Oyegun, Dogara Absent At Tinubu's Colloquium? by Omooba77: 9:47am On Mar 30, 2018
I noticed the Senate President Bukola Saraki was not at Bola Ahmed Tinubu's party; though Megida, Gov. Abdulfatai Ahmed of Kwara was viscible.
Why was Saraki not there?

Nigeria’s Senate President Bukola Saraki and the ruling All Progressives Congress Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun, were conspicuously absent at the 10th Bola Tinubu Colloquium held Thursday in Lagos.

Also absent at the event put in place to mark the 66th birthday of the APC national leader was Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara.

The event, which was attended by President Muhammadu Buhari, held in Victoria Island, Lagos.

Aside Mr Buhari, others at the event were Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; business magnates, Aliko Dangote and Jim Ovia; governors, senators, members of the house of representatives, chieftains of the APC, among other notable Nigerians.

Themed “Investing in people”, the event had participants discuss the potentials of the welfare programmes and human capital investments of the Nigerian government.

It was not immediately clear why Messrs Odigie-Oyegun, Saraki and Dogara were absent at the event.

Mr Odigie-Oyegun is engulfed in a crisis following the rejection of the elongation of tenure granted to the executives of the party by President Muhammadu Buhari earlier in the week.

Mr Tinubu had openly disagreed with the tenure elongation and had immediately lauded the president’s rejection of the arrangement.

Speaking on Thursday, Mr Tinubu urged Nigerians to reject the apology of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party and support the APC.

Mr Osinbajo used his speech to lampoon the former government of Goodluck Jonathan while the president in his speech eulogised Mr Tinubu’s attributes.

Buhari is attending the first since he became president. So if I may ask to what national interest is Tinubu's colloquium.

A colloquium where how to bring PDP down is the focal point. That was the same colloquium fashola the rocket scientist spoke ill of Jonathan's government.
Fashola has not attended ever since

Differences!
PMB did very well by going with BAT. It's clear the likes of Oyegun and Co are not heavyweights.
You can decide to hate Tinubu but he can do more. That to me is political calculation, and you're going to see more of it playing out in recent days.

Buhari pitched his tent without question when he gave that speech denouncing Oyegun term elongation at NEC effectively giving a blow to the anti Tinubu league of the APC

It would have been sadder if they had been there.

It would mean that the national assembly of the Nigerian people have been hijacked by a mere regional strong man.

Dr Bukola Saraki is busy with State affairs, busy on how to move the nation forward while Buhari and Osinbajo have nothing to do than attend events and marriage ceremonies


May God bless the most Distinguished Senator Bukola Saraki
