NASS Leadership: What Happened In 2015 Might Repeat Itself, Saraki Warns by Calculating: 5:03pm On Apr 22, 2019
Bukola Saraki, President of the 8th Senate, has said the All Progressive Congress (APC) might lose hold of the incoming 9th National Assembly if care is not taken as what happened in 2015 might play out again.

Mr Saraki during the formation of the 8th Senate in 2015 emerged Senate President against the wish of the APC even though he belonged to the party at the time. He defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) last year.

Lawmakers at the National Assembly are to elect principal officers of the legislative arm of government.

His emergence was possible due to his alliance with lawmakers of the PDP. This angered the APC which severally failed in series of plot to oust the top lawmaker.



Although he lost his bid to return to the red chamber, Saraki has warned leaders of the ruling party to behave matured or risk enforcing what played out in 2015 when the 8th Senate was inaugurated.

His outburst is contained in a statement signed by Yusuph Olaniyonu, his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity.

One of those he warned is the national leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu, who recently attacked the leadership of the National Assembly.

“It is now clear that those who took Senators away from the chambers contrary to the directive contained in the proclamation signed by President Muhammadu Buhari on June 9, 2015 are ‘mistake personified’, Saraki said.

“It is obvious that if they repeat that arrogance during the inauguration of the Ninth National Assembly, they will fail again because Nigeria is greater than them. The institution of the legislature is bigger than the over-bloated egos of these power mongers and dirty schemers,” the top lawmaker warned.

Saraki also blasted Mr Tinubu for attacking the National Assembly under his leadership. He said the former Lagos governor has formed the habit of attacking the legislature quarterly.

He restated insinuations in some quarters that the former governor is strategically planning to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari when the tenure of the latter hopefully winds down in 2023.

“Let us repeat again that we know that a Machiavellian politician like Tinubu will forever agonize over his erroneous belief that Dr. Saraki frustrated his ambition from becoming running mate to President Muhammadu Buhari through a Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2015.

“In his usual cavalier manner, he will stop at nothing to punish Saraki for that. We know that this attack is not about the interest of the nation or that of President Muhammadu Buhari. It is about his 2023 ambition and it is obvious in the statement as he struggled to explain this away,” the lawmaker stated.

While stating that the achievements of the 8th assembly surpasses that of previous administration, he said under him, the Senate has achieved a lot by passing atleast 282 bills surpassing that of the 5th Senate which passed 129 bills.

He denied allegations of budget padding under his leadership saying, “despite all the underhanded tactics to undermine the legislature by outsiders and the public posturing, members have always worked as a team on critical issues that benefit our nation.”

Meanwhile, the adoption of Ahmed Lawan as the candidate of the APC to succeed Saraki is being threatened by members of his party who are rumored to have chosen to display the same pattern that saw the top lawmaker piloting the affairs of the red chamber.

Saraki, you took Yoruba slot as Senate President. This denied Gbaja the Speakership albeit by a slight margin.

There is no such happening this time around.

I can confirm, Heaven is working out a process.

One of the processes is the Reorientation of Nigerians. Agreed that our Leadership is faulty, What about our Followership and Fellowship as a People?

Are Nigerians compliant with the rule of law?
Are we willing to carry out our Civic responsibilities without being told?
Are we willing to stand in gap for the next person irrespective of our differences?
Aside from the bills you are paying, which other way are you of benefit to the next person without expecting nothing?
How much are you thinking of driving positive change into your Environment?
How much selfless sacrifice(s) have you made for that stranger?



This are questions we must ask and answer with utmost honesty by individual Nigerians who desires lasting Change in the Nation.

cool

Mr Otoge they talk.

Anyways nice advise, 9th assembly members would look at Saraki's troubles at cct and how he fell out of senate and apply wisdom.

Goje's #5bn fraud file had already been dusted from EFCC cabinet and giving to Zainab adamu lead appeal court. Only difference is no judge wants to end up like Onoghen the ipobian hero

Goje would soon see Gobe

how did his emergence as Senate president affect what happened at the HOR.
if for anything, it was the yorubas that denied themselves by allowing tinubu to mislead them and denying muliakat akande the position.

You are mixing up issues.

It was impossible for Gbaja to emerge Speaker when Saraki had already emerged Senate President. Yorubas would have been nos 2,3 and 4... cool

oga the plot has nothing to do with Yoruba, it was about letting tinubu know that Lagos and Abuja are different.
