Facts have emerged showing why Senate President Bukola Saraki led a delegation of Senators to meet former President Olusegun Obasanjo at his hilltop mansion, Abeokuta, Ogun state on Friday.

A source who was part of the meeting informed PREMIUM TIMES that the Senate President was in Abeokuta to beg Mr. Obasanjo to reconcile him with President Muhammadu Buhari and his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Mr. Saraki emerged as the president of the Senate against the decision of APC leaders. He was also elected when most Senators from the APC were at the International Conference Centre waiting to hold a meeting with Mr. Buhari to discuss the election of the Senate president and Speaker of the House of Representatives.

We also gathered that Mr. Saraki lamented that although the party leaders have stated that they have accepted his emergence, there was “complete communication breakdown between him, the president and the party”.

The national chairman of the APC, John Oyegun, had abruptly cancelled a scheduled meeting with Mr. Saraki last week without giving another appointment.

Likewise, we also gathered that Mr. Saraki had tried severally to meet with Mr. Buhari after his emergence, but was always denied audience.

Another source in the presidency informed us that the President was angry with Mr. Saraki and the management of the national assembly for going ahead with their election despite adequate knowledge of an invitation for a meeting with Mr. Saraki and his colleagues.

“The president considered it as a mark of disrespect for his office for Saraki to ignore an invitation to meet with him and his colleagues,” our source said.

In his response, Mr. Obasanjo promised to do his best to “ensure communication between all parties”.

However, the spokesperson for the president, Garba Shehu, said the Senate president did not seek to meet with Mr. Buhari.

“I am not aware of any request for a meeting, the president would have seen him, he represents a key institution in our democracy,” he said.

Calls to Mr. Saraki and his aide, Bamikole Omishore, were not answered.

However, the former president in his usual self also joked with the delegation, saying “ you children of nowadays only run to elders when you have finished making the damage”.

PREMIUM TIMES also learnt that after he was informed of the visit, Mr. Obasanjo called Mr. Buhari to inform him that Mr. Saraki is leading a delegation of Senators to his Abeokuta home and Mr. Buhari simply said “you have to see them now, are they not your boys?”.

Among Mr. Saraki’s delegation include former governor of Gombe state, Danjuma Goje, Andy Uba, former Zamfara governor, Ahmed Sani, Olagunsoye Oyinlola and others.

Who is fooling who? The truth is SINator Saraki is in a big mess and he needs Obasanjo to plead on his behalf. Even Obj knows Saraki's action was a damage! The truth is APC is on a long thing!

All parties involve should just shift their swords for now in the interest of the Nation at large. I trust Baba OBJ to resolve issues and Saraki the prodigal son should also apologiise openly to his party leadership and avoid dinning and winning with corrupt rejected swines called PDP. We are watching and will continue to monitor events to the best interest of Nigerians and not our selfish leaders. Shekena !!!

Whaoo

Mr Bukola has bitten more than what he can chew. He is looking for a way out.

Anyway the funny part is "are they not ur boys part"

Uncle sege u too much.

Sen. Saraki is simply wiser than many think.

I don't care if he pleads for forgivenes or not, my joy is that he illegitimately dealt with Tinubu.
Case closed

Hmm! Good move by Saraki...now lets see if his visit will pay off. Personally, I think they need to just put the past aside and work with this man...for THE PEOPLE's sake. Anyway,if you have problem lasting long in bed, hit me up on BBM- 7C22F6EC.

Smoothing over the cracks.

APC should do something about the numerous captains it has.

Even in Political parties...there can be only one captain of the ship.
