Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje has described last week’s election of Senator Bukola Saraki as Senate President as a triumph of democracy over individual interests.

He warned against any attempt to challenge his emergence, noting that Nigerian electorate would resist it.
Baraje, who urged the aggrieved senators to reconcile and work together in the interest of the party, said the APC leadership is working assiduously to mend the cracks created by the election of National Assembly leaders.
He spoke with newsmen yesterday during the graduation ceremony of 171 students of Baraje Centre for Arabic and Islamic Studies Ilorin, which he founded.
Baraje said the emergence of Saraki was legal, transparent and followed due process as enshrined in the constitution and called for the cooperation of all and sundry to ensure the success of the 8th Assembly.
The APC chieftain described the National Assembly as an independent institution which should not be subjected to the whims and caprices of any body, party or other arms of government, saying the level of awareness among Nigeria’s electorate was becoming higher and that the process through which Saraki emerged was an indication that democracy is greater than any individual.
“The process was legal, there was no breach of any rule of the National Assembly, the National Assembly is not dependent on government, is not dependent of any political party,” he said.

I always laugh when people feel that Saraki's 'controversial' victory is to spite Tinubu. FYI, Tinubu has nothing to lose with Saraki as Senate President. It's just that Buhari didn't detect it in time that Saraki's desperation was aimed at 2019, Tinubu detected it in time and wanted to stop that but he wasn't supported well. Anyway, if Saraki feels he can become the President of Nigeria, he should know he's just kidding (JK). Nigeria can't be handed over to people like Atiku and Saraki!
