Senate Presidency: Saraki Reacts To Snubbing Osinbajo by Teeboy22(op):
Senator Bukola Saraki, a former governor of
Kwara state, has denied snubbing a truce
meeting summoned by Vice President Yemi
Osinbajo. The senator, who is representing Kwara Central
Senatorial District in Nigeria’s upper legislative
chamber and also a leading contender for the
Senate presidency, said he did not receive any
official invitation from Osinbajo or any other
source for any meeting; political, social or otherwise.

House of Representatives will hold today, June 9,
and reports had surfaced yesterday that Saraki boycotted a meeting called by the vice president and the leadership of the All Progressives
Congress to broker peace among the
contenders for the Senate presidency ahead of
the election. In a statement released by the former governor
and signed by his special adviser on media and
advocacy, Bamikole Omisore, Saraki said he had
high respect for the office and person of the vice
president, Premium Times reports. READ ALSO: Saraki, Dogara Secretly Plan Revenge The statement reads in part: “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.” He once again assured the vice president of his
highest regards. Though he is a leading contender for the
presidency of the Nigerian Senate, Saraki is not
the official candidate of the APC, as the party
backs his main challenger, Ahmed Lawan. Report had it that he and his supporters had
devised a new plan to frustrate the leadership of
the APC for supporting Lawan’s candidacy. They
reportedly decided to endorse ex-senate president, David Mark, for a third term as the senate president so as to spite their party

This is a stale news. This was prior to the election of NASS leadership.

Please today we need our President at home. He must pack in to Aso Rock Villa or be ejected from the Defence House.

He had overstayed his welcome there. Commander in Chief does not mean he go back to Barracks.
