Senator Bukola Saraki, former Governor of Kwara State and former Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) and the current Senate President trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal was fueled by those who see him as a threat in 2019.

Senator Saraki’s problem is being engineered, fanned, propelled, sponsored and sustained by forces that see him as a threat to them in 2019.

It is of course in the open that Saraki’s persecutors were all in the APC. It is just a matter of time the identity of those who are interested in Saraki’s case will become open. Right now, they are in the back shooting missiles, but it is just a question of time, light will cast on their faces and their activities will come to the open.

The Saraki threat is not for this government, it is for what is coming ahead. So Saraki is a victim of a conflict of ambition whereby if he was not a Senate President, he could not have been in this spotlight. And if he is not a threat in the future, he would not be passing through what he is passing through now.

In other advanced counties people like Senator Saraki are honoured for the excellent work done so far at the 8th Assembly but the reverse is the case with us in Nigeria.

It is on record that the 8th National Assembly under the leadership of Senator Saraki has achieved the under listed:

1. 33 Senate Bills Passed
2. 68 Bills Due for Second Reading
3. 56 Bills Introduced Since September
4. 227 Bills at First Reading Stage

It is high time we pursued National interest for our collective good, instead of political vendetta, which has completely robbed the Nation of true statesmanship like the frank posture of Senator Saraki and his fearless colleagues in both chambers of the National Assembly.

The cabal should leave Saraki alone

Op to answer your question, Saraki is both victim and villain and that's a full course menu. You gotta like Saraki because of his brand of politics. He doesn't make noise but ehn...e dey show him traducers pepper somehow somehow.

Why? Dont weep for Don Saraki. The war has just began. The dullard vegetable is jetting out soon and may never return. Hahahahaha.... The lunatics are gonna burn down the asylum this time around.

We know Saraki Is A Better Smarter And More Detribalised Persona, So We Will Try As much As We Can To Paint Him Like D Devil.

Although We Are Worst Than He is,We In BMC Don't Like Him Cos He is Threat To Our Dream Of Making Nigeria A One Party State,With Absolute Powers Fr The President ....

saraki the nightmare of Buhari and Tinubu the bastard

saraki a pain in the ass of bubu and BMC, the stubborn fly on the shrinked scrotum of buhari

I wonder why a tribe east of naija trust saraki a yoruba man....That tribe and illogicality!

My friend keep quiet! Are my people not paying tax in this evil arrangement you call a country? Don't worry, when its time, even a blind man will see it.

Saraki is the strongest man in APC and even the new sheriff in town is forced to defer to him.
