A former governor of Kwara state, and senator representing Kwara Central Senatorial District in Nigeria’s upper legislative chamber, Bukola Saraki, has issued a statement debunking reports that he snubbed a truce meeting called by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

Mr. Saraki is a leading contender for the presidency of the Nigerian Senate, but he is not the official candidate of his party, the All Progressives Congress, which is rooting for his main challenger, Ahmed Lawan.

A report had indicated that Mr. Saraki boycotted a meeting called by Mr. Osinbajo to explore the possibilities of the APC having a consensus candidate ahead of the election of principal officers of the Senate and the House of Representatives Tuesday.

But the former governor has now issued a statement, saying he received no invitation to any meeting called by the vice president.

He also denied making disparaging comments about the vice president.

Read full statement below.

SENATOR SARAKI HAS GREAT RESPECT FOR THE PERSON AND OFFICE OF HIS EXCELLENCY, PROF OSINBAJO VICE PRESIDENT OF FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA

The attention of Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki’s media office has been drawn to a publication by an online tabloid which insinuated that “Senator Saraki Boycotts APC Leadership Meeting To be Chaired by VP Osinbajo”

We wish to categorically state that up to this very point 10:50pm, 8th of June 2015, senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki is yet to receive any official invitation from His Excellency Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Vice President, Federal Republic of Nigeria or through any other source for any meeting; political, social or otherwise.

Understanding the importance of last-minute consultation required for the inauguration of the 8th Assembly, Senator Saraki has been attending to meetings with colleagues and friends on the program for the 8th assembly.

Senator Saraki having been in public service in different capacity knows the importance of respecting the office and person of the Vice President. And therefore advise those spreading false news to cease and desist.

Senator Saraki therefore, uses this opportunity to assure His Excellency, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Vice President of Federal Republic of Nigeria of his highest regards.

the apron strings of a godfather and not one that will create special bedroom in the pocket of an individual."

Now see finishing from Saraki..." I cannot be summoned by a mere commissioner"

A truce meeting called on Monday by the
leadership of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) has been boycotted by
Senator Bukola Saraki, one of the party’s top
contenders for the presidency of the Senate.
Prof. Yemi Osinbajo
Senator Saraki boycotted the meeting after
reportedly telling party leaders that as a former
governor he could not attend a meeting
summoned by a ‘mere commissioner’, referring
to Professor Yemi Osinbajo, whose previous
public office was as Commissioner of Justice in
Lagos State. Saraki then became a Senator,
while Osinbajo is now the Vice President.
Following Saraki’s snub, Prof. Osinbajo didn’t
bother to attend the meeting, but the party met
with its elected lawmakers, with some of Saraki’s
earlier supporters joining the meeting.
Sources at the meeting told SaharaReporters
that the leaders of the National Working
Committee of the APC reaffirmed their support
for candidates chosen during Saturday’s mock
primaries of the party.
The Senate and the House of Representatives are
expected to be inaugurated tomorrow. President
Muhammad Buhari has given his blessing and
dispatched a letter to the Clerk of the National
Assembly asking to declare the two chambers
inaugurated. Buhari is expected to return to
Abuja on Tuesday evening, according presidency
sources.
APC is expected to hold a final meeting tonight
to prepare for the elections of its principal
officers of the National Assembly tomorrow

APC Crisis!!!!

“We received text messages from the
party informing us of a meeting with the
Vice President today; however, we see no
difference between the Vice President
and those trying to impose leaders on
the House of Representatives, so we
would not be attending,” he said.


This Action movie go sweet die!!!!!

Governors of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, have called an emergency
meeting to seek ways of reuniting the
ruling party that is threatened by a
major crisis over the choice of new
leaders for the Senate and the House of
Representatives.
PREMIUM TIMES confirmed at the
national secretariat of the APC that the
meeting was called by the chairman of
the APC governors’ Forum and Governor
of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha.
A source at the secretariat said the
meeting would hold by 5p.m. Monday at
the Imo state governors lodge in Asokoro
Abuja.
The source said the meeting would
discuss how to find a solution to the
crisis generated by the election of a new
Senate President and Speaker.
The APC had conducted a mock election
to elect candidate for the two offices on
Saturday and Messrs. Ahmed Lawan
from Yobe and Femi Gbajabiamila were
elected as Senate President and Speaker
of the House respectively.
However, the two main challengers to
the posts, Bukola Saraki and Yakubu
Dogara, who are also members of the
party, boycotted the election and
rejected its outcome.
They also vowed to defy the party and
seek for the mandate of their colleagues
in an election billed for Tuesday.
The APC national secretary, Mai Mala
Buni had on Sunday issued a statement
urging Messrs. Saraki and Dogara to
abide by the decision of the party.
The two contenders rejected the plea by
the party leadership and vowed to
challenge the party’s candidates on
Tuesday.
Osinbanjo meets with Reps elect
Meanwhile, PREMIUM TIMES
understands that after several failed
attempts by the party leadership to
persuade Messrs Saraki and Dogara to
drop their ambitions, Vice President
Yemi Osinbajo has decided to wade into
the matter.
One of the lawmakers loyal to Mr.
Dogara confirmed that the Vice President
had invited all members to a meeting,
even as he said they would boycott it.
“We received text messages from the
party informing us of a meeting with the
Vice President today; however, we see no
difference between the Vice President
and those trying to impose leaders on
the House of Representatives, so we
would not be attending,” he said.
PREMIUM TIMES understands the
meeting is already underway and
Senators-elect are also attending
