The Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki has replied the All Progressives Congress, APC, party Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, who had said that he (Saraki) would not only be impeached but would also be stopped from returning to the Senate after the 2019 elections.
However, Saraki who responded through his media aide, Yusuf Olaniyon, said Oshiomhole is behaving like rain-beaten chicken.

Below is the full statement:

“It is rather surprising that Mr. Adams Oshiomhole is behaving like a rain-beaten chicken, crying all over the place about Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, as if the Senate President is the apparition haunting his life and the sinking ship that he captains.

Having decided not to join the pigs in rolling in the dirt; we would not like to be involved in any meaningless exchange with the demagogue now in charge of APC. However, because he claimed that he was reacting to the issues raised by the Senate President during his World Press Conference, we thought it necessary to give the APC chairman some attention.

Alas, we found that instead of addressing any issue raised by the Senate President, his press conference merely showcased his obsession and those of his sponsors with Saraki’s removal, which he did without any decorum befitting of his age or his awarded office. He brimmed with hate, hurled abuses, threw tantrums, told lies, huffed, puffed. In the end, he said nothing.

It is indeed amazing that the same Oshiomhole, who is now describing Saraki as a politician of no consequence was the same one who only a few months ago was crawling all over the place pleading for Saraki’s support to become chairman. We are sure that those who took him to Saraki several times to plead his case must now be thoroughly embarrassed by his reckless and uncouth manner.
By his conduct and utterances, Oshiomhole, who accused Saraki of not acting in national interest needs to do more to convince Nigerians that his desperate desire to become party chairman is not simply to feed his over-sized ego.
The position of Oshiomhole and his cohorts in the APC that the Senate President must resign is a mere wishful thinking. They will continue to dream about their planned removal of the Senate President. They will need 73 Senators to lawfully remove Dr. Saraki and they will never get that in the present eight Senate.

The argument of APC that the Senate President must come from a majority party; that the Senate Presidency is their crown and National Assembly is their palace is only supported by ignorance and dangerous delusion. First, the issue of which party is in the majority will only be resolved when the Senate resume. Two, Section 50 (1) (a) of the constitution is clear that any Senator can be elected as Senate President. If the only thing left of the APC change agenda is to change the Senate President we can only wish them goodluck.

Perhaps, Mr. Oshiomhole needs to be better educated about our parliamentary history when he Stated that “For the first time in parliamentary history in Nigeria, we had a situation where the APC had majority of Senators and went on to elect a PDP as Deputy Senate President”. Where is Mr. Oshiomhole when Senator John Wash Pam of the Nigerian People’s Party (NPP) became Deputy Senate President in the Second Republic even when the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) had the majority. The same thing happened in the House of Representatives when NPP’s Rt. Hon. Edwin Umeh Ezeoke was elected Speaker in an NPN majority House. But then, it would require a level of education to understand these things.

What hypocrisy! To think that this same APC were jubilating when Rt. Hon. Aminu Tambuwal retained his position after he defected from the PDP and still retained his seat, even when his new party was in the minority. These are people whose standards of morality are infinitely elastic.
We are sure the remaining APC Senators need to do a lot of work to bring Oshiomhole up to speed about parliamentary practice. His ignorance are too clear in his comments about how the Senate was adjourned on July 24, 2018, the distribution of committee chairmanship in the Senate and the difference between the post of Senate President and Minority Leader.

He has made so much song and dance about Mr. Godswill Akpabio resigning as Senate Minority Leader when he left the PDP to join APC. For this, Akpabio has become his hero and a symbol of honour. He obviously does not understand that the post of Minority Leader is a strictly party affair. And the PDP simply decided who to give it as it is not even a position that was mentioned in the constitution. Whereas, the Senate President position is a constitutional creation, which required majority votes of all the members. Again, we don’t expect people whose only experience in politics is at the provincial levels to understand this. No wonder they are talking of crowns and inheritance.

The fair distribution of the Committee chairmanship is one of the stabilizing factors in the 8th Senate and has helped it in achieving more than all its predecessors.
We need to inform this divisive element who now leads APC that if he wants to know why the 2018 budget was delayed, he should ask the heads of the MDAs. We reckon that should be easy for him since he is now their ‘headmaster’, moving around with canes to whip ministers into line.

Oshiomhole once again demonstrated his lack of sense of history by talking of Buhari winning more votes in Kwara than Saraki. We are sure President Buhari himself will disagree with the APC chairman. We invite the APC chairman to look at the figures of votes secured by the President in 2003, 2007, 2011 and 2015 to know that the difference is clear, like a commercial advert stated.

We hereby assure this garrulous, tactless and reckless APC chairman that a million of Adams Oshiomhole cannot remove Saraki as Senate President. His illegal plots, can only feed his insatiable ego and keep him awake at nights. But it will remain an exercise in futility.”

This is starting to get childish.

Adam's Oshiomole said they will impeach Saraki,and then stop him from coming back to the Senate if he contests again.

There were no personal attacks in his words,as his statements were pure political statements.

For Saraki to descend so low as to bring a private conversation between himself and Adam's into the public arena, shows how mature he is. What if Adam's Oshiomole had approached you privately for support?people talk to each other privately,and that is where it ends.

insult! saraki don kill oshomole. if its me, i will quickly resign my position. apc is realy in trouble i swear.

Epic reply! Oshiomole have simply put the APC in a culdesac.Saraki rarely talks but when he does it will not be funny. Saraki is Oshiomole's son but look @ how he is just disgracing himself.

Choiiiii see mending.
Oshio ole sorry o

After this RIP punch I can bet with anybody that the Gorilla oshi Ole would avoid the name Saraki like a plague.

This is deep

Abeg saraki it has not gotten to this nau
The man is just working hard since he's still on probation as APC chair....

This is a loaded response.

Still Oshiomole will still talk, when you ask him why he keeps talking, he will say its Labour tactics.

Which Kind mumu labour tactics is this one thats making you look like a fool?

See finishing.

That moment when you go home and prepare a better response for your critics...

oshiomole shud be careful with his choice of words. its not edo state. he shud understand that saraki is not a baby wen its comes to politics.

"If the only thing left of the APC change agenda is to
change the Senate President we can
only wish them goodluck"

Who else sees the sarcasm in this Saraki's statement.

abeg make we just lock up. when you are big, you are big.

Saraki is a boss when it comes to the game of politics. His intellectual capability is second to none.

Oshomiole or whatever his name is, is nothing but an ordinary toothless bulldog. An ugly one at that. An illiterate thug. What he lacked in handsomeness, he gained in foolishness.

A wiseman speaks because he has something to say.

A foolish man(oshomiole) speaks because he has to say something.

Nigerians be wise!

Saraki u saw wat happen to fayose oh, be warn

This Oshomole sef..creating public nuisance of himself up and down. Well that is d attitude of men cursed with stunted growth.

All this oshiomole or saraki wahala is non of my bizness. My bizness is the Nigerian youths wey carry politicians matter for head like gala.

PDP will nail him, they know him and just playing to his gallery

How rain beaten chicken be.??

Hi

Lol. As an Edo man, I'm ashamed Oshiomole is from my place. Edos are not known to be people who talk from two sides of their mouths intermittently but Oshiomole has been doing that... I just hope he hasn't been giving Remi head, the way his mouth is running. Bobo fit done catch herpes for mouth.

Oga Saraki reconvene the House make we know who be chicken and who be bird.

As the rain pours, we spectators will know that which will fly and that which will be drenched like a witch
