Saraki On Tinubu In 2014 About The APC VP Position by MrJanuzaj: 9:38pm On Aug 20, 2018 |
SARAKI in 2014!! Facts are indeed sacred!!! APC VP Candidacy; Saraki salutes Tinubu's sacrifice December 18, 2014 Former Kwara State Governor, Senator Bukola Saraki has commended the sacrifice and contribution of former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to the development of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and democracy in Nigeria. Saraki also welcomed the emergence of Prof. Yemi Osinbajo as the running mate of the presidential candidate of APC, General Muhammadu Buhari. Saraki, in a statement said: “The emergence of Professor Yemi Osinbajo – a Professor of law; a well-ranked academic; a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN); and a committed pastor of unquestionable integrity from South-West Nigeria further attests to the commitment of the All Progressives Congress to fairness and equality. “Most importantly, I would like to commend the National Leader of our party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for the sacrifice and contribution to the development of APC and democracy in Nigeria. No doubt, from his precedents as a forward-thinking Governor of Lagos State, and his profile as one of the foremost democrats in Nigeria, the people of the South-West and a large block of voters wanted Asiwaju as running mate to General Buhari. “Historically, the South-West is known not to pay attention to religion but competence when picking candidates for positions, but due to Tinubu’s belief in the Nigerian project, which he sees as bigger than any individual interest, he made it clear that we cannot ignore the current happenings around the country that require that as a party, we must take extra caution and be sensitive to every ethnicity and religion by picking a Christian candidate. “Despite what has been reported on the pages of some newspapers, some of us privy to the happenings behind closed doors attest to the leadership role of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which led to the emergence of Osinbajo, an erudite scholar and a dogged advocate of the people. “In the same spirit, I must also commend other leaders of the APC who have continuously made sacrifices in the interest of the party and Nigeria at large. Leaders like Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Alhaji Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and Owelle Rochas Okorocha who on Thursday December 11, 2014 after the presidential primaries made similar sacrifices by pledging their support to General Buhari, contrary to speculations by naysayers that the APC would implode either after the primary or in the course of the nomination of its vice-presidential candidate. APC has, once again, demonstrated that national interests are paramount in the guiding principle of the party, as opposed to personal ambition. “I use this opportunity to congratulate all party stakeholders, most especially the presidential candidate for the success of the process in the selection of the Vice-Presidential candidate; this process has once again demonstrated to Nigerians the preparedness of APC to run an efficient and transperent government, putting to shame those that have said the party was made up of people with personal ambitions,” he said. #DailyPost From the wall of Sir Dafila Rotimi http://dailypost.ng/2014/12/18/apc-vp-candidacy- 7 Likes |

I can't see any difference between this and Saraki s current response . Infact all I see here is a diplomatic expression of how tinubu was forced to relinquish the VP position to Osibanjo. Contrary to what you can understand this story confirms Sarakis current response to tinubu. If you know you know. 200 Likes 12 Shares |

This was when the bed of strange bed fellows was still freshly made and everyone's shït seemed like fresh, sweet scenting perfume even on that bed. Everyone's pretence level was on point. Now that the bed is dirty and awash with bugs, they've run out of those to hide behind and use to make themselves seem clean and saintly. They have called Jonathan, PDP, God, Rats and others too numerous to mention. Now they have turned on themselves. Those with abridged and selective reasoning have forgotten that at the time Saraki and crew were hailed for their 'selfless sacrifice' in dumping the 'corrupt' PDP to join the 'progressives'. Now Saraki has decamped back to PDP it is no longer sacrifice, it's now greed. At least he minded his business o! But APC class prefects still keep writing his name in their list of noise makers even when he's no longer in their class. Still,he never called Tinubu o! Now Tinubu came out to say he's greedy and looking for automatic ticket and that is why he left APC. Was that not the case in 2014? Or is it now a case of 4 legs good and 2 legs bad? Fowl nko? Saraki too has now come our to tell us the real story of 'greed' displayed by Tinubu without regard to the religious plurality and sensitivity in the country. It is only a heartless, wicked and yet dumb fool that would have contemplated a muslim-muslim ticket in Nigeria of 2014/2015 but lucky for them, people like Saraki intervened to save the idiots from themselves hence their 'victory' in 2015. Now these yeye zombies and praise singers want to exercise selective memory abi interpretation? Abeg make una clear road! Nonsense! 14 Likes 2 Shares |

this does not necessarily contradict what saraki said recently. here, he is talking about sacrifices made by tinubu & the need to put national interest over religious considerations... he was most likely referring to the sacrifice of tinubu setting down as prospective VP at the time... 19 Likes 1 Share |

Tinubu called OBJ the navigator and all patronising names, but today he is abusing the man. Elrufai told the world that Buhari is unelectable. Today he wants people to vote for the same incompetent tyrant. Politicians are not worth dying for, and that is why I pity BMCs who keeps shouting "sai barber" when their ancestral lands would become grazing ranches after the 2019 elections. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Tinubu was persuaded to shun his interest of becoming PMB running mate in 2004 which he bulged to but same can't be said of Bukola Saraki when the party prefer someone else to emerge as the senate president, he went the Judas's way( his core character anyway) I see Saraki as a selfish, desperate and inconsiderate politician. From Sarakis dynasty antecedent, they are nomadic politicians, defection from one party to another is part of their mantra. By the way, I'm from Kwara state 14 Likes 3 Shares |

So after hailing Tinubu for his sacrifice in bringing out Osinbajo, that chameleon and serial betrayer called Saraki is now slander the same Tinubu because of ideological differences. Thank God records are kept. No lies or propaganda from Saraki can give him the presidency. It's as sure as day and night. Tinubu is not contesting anything. He is great as a god father. He has nothing to lose. Those fighting him cannot survive a day out of office unlike Tinubu. Ask Oyegun who is now totally forgotten and back to the village doing cassava farming. 7 Likes 1 Share |

MrJanuzaj:[b]OP, from your facts is sacred Saraki was simply acknowledging and appreciating everyone especially the then presidential aspirants! The 2 major players then was Atiku and Tinubu! Atiku who felt he is due to have the ticket and Tinubu who wanted to be in power at all cost even undermining the religious aspect which is not to fill in 2 candidate of the same religious group as President and VP! Recall that the argument was so hot that even Fani Kayode then a APC member had to come out publicly with it! He opined that it will not be in the interest of the nation! Infact I stand to be corrected, it was so hot that Fani Kayode had to pull out from APC then! I for one thought Tinubu will not give inn! Infact at that time, Bukola Saraki was at the fore front! He was against the muslim/Muslim ticket! Tinubu also mentioned at one time that Saraki was against him and does not want him to be the vice president! So it took alot of effort to calm all the players down hence his appreciation for their piping down! Saraki was on a peace mission then and that he did very well if not for that singular act, Buhari would have being the president while Tinubu would have being the vice president!!!
