Saraki Has This To Say About Akpabio's Defection To APC by Kingsmeal: 8:24pm On Aug 08, 2018
Following Senator Akapbio's defection from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress, the Senate President has reacted.

The President of the Senate Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki may be nursing a Presidential ambition for 2019. This is even as called the defection of Senator Godwill Akpabio to the All Progressives Congress as a non-important issue.

This was disclosed during the question and answer session at the World Press Conference addressed by Saraki over the siege on the National Assembly by operatives of the DSS.

Saraki who was asked by a representative of a foreign media if he would be vying for the highest office in the land, did not deny having such ambition.

He however said that today was a day to talk about democracy, adding that he would answer the question on another day.

“We are here today about the democracy of this country, and that is what is important to me and to all of us that are here.

“I think when the time is right I will talk on your issue but today, we are talking about democracy in Nigeria, to defend the rule of law,” he said.

On whether or not he would relinquish the position of Senate Presidency which he was ‘given’ under the All Progressives Congress (APC), Saraki stressed that he was not given the position but was elected by members.
He said that the Constitution allows any member of the Senate to stand for election as the President of the Senate irrespective of the party the person belongs to.
“I was not given the position as senate president, I was elected by members.

“According to our constitution, it says a member of the National Assembly who so wishes….. it doesn’t say you have to belong to any political party,” he said.

On the defection of Senator Godswill Akpabio to PDP, Saraki said that it is not an worthy of comment at the time.

He said that the press conference was called to discuss important National issues of which Akpabio’s defection was not party of.

“This happens from time to time, so I do not think it is a national issue for me to comment on,” he said.


NAN reports that at the end of the briefing, the President of the Senate got a rousing ovation and chants of ‘Oloye! Oloye! Oloye!

That was how they sang and beat the drums for GEJ, he got roundly beaten in 2015 even with his power of incumbency.

Then came Nnamdi Kanu; they sang and beat the drums for him. They gave him god-status and he enjoyed every bit of it, until he got demystified and destroyed.

Saraki enjoy your spotlight while it lasts.
When your comeuppance comes, these ipob youths and wailers clapping and singing for you will not save you.

In their minds now Buhari is the anti-Democrat while Saraki is democracy personified abi?

Lol, Mumus!

Kwara state is basically a family business for Saraki.
Two words which should never be found in one sentence are Saraki and democracy.

But no, Nigerians are tortoises.

A man who is richer than his state and who basically owns kwara state is talking about saving democracy.

Wao!

TRANSFER UPDATES:

JUST IN: It's been a fantastic and intriguing season in the #NPL #NigerianPoliticalLeague. @APC_FC just successfully completed the transfer of world class defender @Akpabio from @PDP_FC for an undisclosed amount. The announcement was made by @APC_FC chief @AdamsOshio after the defender underwent medical in London during the weekend. The medical officer @Mbuhari declared the defender medically fit to play for the team.

Stay tuned for more reports

Selfish, arrogant, covetous, corrupt....

That is the story of this man.

He can go to any lenghts to compromise
any System, using Kwara State as his
own personal ATM.

Before now, the Saraki
family survived on Shareholders funds of
Societé Generale Bank, destroying life
of poor depositors. angry

If the Buhari crew weren't a dumb, flatfooted
bunch, they would have taken this man out
years ago.

Now he has become a clear & present
challenge to the very existence of APC. undecided undecided sad sad sad

On a normal basis, People like saraki should be stoned. These politicians only care about themselves, after destroying Kwara he wants to package Nigeria in his pocket.

Thieves, they are worst than Satan the devil, worst is the average poor Nigerians killing themselves for these rogues, shouting APc and PDP on empty stomach, they don't realize that party means nothing to these evil set of people, provided their interests is being protected.
