Saraki Has Been Nursing Presidential Ambition Since 2011 ― Baraje by sarrki(m): 3:00am On Aug 17, 2018
FORMER leader of the Reformed All Progressives Congress (R-APC), Alhaji Kawu Baraje has said that declaration of presidential ambition of the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, is long overdue, adding that it is also proper.



Speaking with journalists in Ilorin on Thursday at the sideline of the graduation ceremony of the Baraje Centre for Arabic and Islamic Studies, Alhaji Baraje, said that Saraki had been trying his luck on being the nation’s president since 2011.

“As a reminder, Senate President, Bukola Saraki has been trying his luck on being the president of this country since 2011. He withdrew for the then-candidate Goodluck Jonathan. In 2015, he also withdrew for the present President Muhammadu Buhari. So, for somebody who has been nursing that kind of ambition, is it not right for such a person to come forward again?



“This present president came forward for four times before clinching it. Did anybody ask whether he was right or wrong? Totally, I am in his support. Whatever Nigeria is looking for is in him and what we are looking for is only a candidate that will unite Nigeria. Because the current situation in the country, Nigeria is further divided and unless we get a candidate that will unite Nigeria, it is going to be a very serious jeopardy for this country.

“He has the right. The fact that he is the Senate President does not stop him from aspiring to become the president. Constitutionally, of course, I have not seen that a Senate President cannot aspire to become president. Being one of the strong supporters of the Senate President, this is the time I will show the entire world that I am solidly behind him. We have been supporting others, this is the time to support our own.”

Also speaking on the planned impeachment of Saraki, Baraje argued that it is two-thirds of the entire 109 senators that can effect impeachment, and not two third of the senators that are present on the day of any planned impeachment.

“I am not a senator, but I am a party leader and a politician. As a politician, you don’t just sit down without educating yourself. I have read the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Whenever there is any controversy about any issue I read the constitution. I have gone through the relevant sections particularly on the issue of impeachment. The constitution makes me understand that only the senators can elect their president and also the senators can impeach their senators. The constitution also stipulates the offences he has committed for impeachment. Having
seen the offences committed they will go into votes.

Two third of the entire 109 senators not two third of the senators that are present on the day of the impeachment. It is because of the background of some us that we do not talk too much. Because we believe that we should listen more rather than talking more.


“There is a lot of respect in listening more. The fact that we listen more does not mean we do not know our rights. There are so many things being said on this issue of impeachment that is insulting the sensibilities of Nigerians particularly those of us that can read and right. It is most unfortunate that somebody will just come up to talk of impeachment as if we are in a banana republic. Some of us have experiences of leading political parties and if issues like these come up we know how to handle them. It needs a lot of patience, exposure, a lot of education and cool-headedness.

“It is not by Gestapo approach. In any case, the senators are making Nigerians realise through their body language that as far as they are concerned they are not ready to impeach their president. Any sensible leader should have understood that language that the senators are not going the way some people want to go; which is the way of causing confusion between the executive and the legislature. The present situation exists between the executive and the legislature was caused by some people who do not want the two arms to work together because they will never gain out of it.”

Alhaji Baraje also said that in a few days time he will return to his former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with his supporters officially.

He said that he would formally declare for the party in his own ward in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.

“If I tell you where I belong now, I am telling you because you asked me, but my formal declaration is coming up in few days time at my own ward. It is being arranged by my people.

“That means where my leader goes is where l go. I belong to the party that has made me and a party that has given me in-road into the politics of this country. I belong to the PDP and I have gone to the PDP meeting at Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja some two months ago. There I made a statement that went viral and I think that was very indicative of where I belong. In very a few days now you will hear I am in my ward declaring for PDP along with my supporters.

They castigate and vilify Saraki for crime he himself does not known about but expect you to love a president that has shown all aspect of nepotism and incompetence..

Just 10 days and it seems Osinbanjo has outdone Buhari with just some very few 21st century policies he has successfully pushed through..

They would come with Buhari gave those orders, and i ask, the IGP has disobeyed Buhari's orders countless times with nothing as little as a caution but in 10days, osinbanjo sent fear into his spines even pushing to de-centralize the police.

When did Buhari start having over ambition to rule Nigeria? Didn't he cry on television in 2011 that he won't seek another election after contesting in 2003 and 2007?

Sometimes I feel embarrass to hear elders talking like they are under the influence of tramadols. Pls baraja how and where did Saraki steps down for Buhari? was he in the contest for Presidency from the primaries or General elections? then how can you say he step down for Buhari? not Atiku nor kwankwaso neither Rocha's step down for Buhari because they all contested during the APC presidential primary in Lagos so I don't know what this Old fool is talking about

Smh for Nigerians supporting saraki for President. How i wish Nigerians do some research on Kwara state before considering this man, the only state where the real politics is played. That's why am not surprised saraki wants to contest, he has been planning since and Buhari and co. are unaware. now APC can't do anything because he has blocked all loop holes. I hope a miracle happens so that Kwara can be free.

Look at this deluded man!
Osinbaba gave orders to reform SARS & the next minute, IGP deceived y'all & renamed SARS to FSARS & immediately arrested a premium times reporter! Has the reporter been released despite the protests using the useless hash tags on Twitter & even in the police headquarters yesterday? Why hasn't Osinbaba pushed for the release of the reporter or for the sack of the IG since y'all have been shouting for his sack? Simple answer is he no fit! He'll only do so if he's given the go-ahead! The police will ONLY release the reporter whenever they like & Osinbaba won't do anything!

But in all, Osinbaba has done extremely well. In just 1 week, he has done even better than what a certain daft drunk from Otuoke did in 6 whole years in power (not just in the over one year he did as Ag president)! That's why everyone, including the airheaded IPIGs, must vote for APC in 2019 so that when Buhari goes to London in his second tenure, albeit more frequently, Osinbaba will continue his magic. And in 2023, Osinbaba will have 8 full years to do his magic till 2031!
Abi, how you see am? grin
