Tinubu – I Won’t Recognise Saraki As Senate President, Unless…

5

National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has responded to the emergence of Senator Bukola Saraki as President of the Senate.

Tinubu, while speaking on the development at the national secretariat of the party on Tuesday in Abuja, said, “I will never recognise such a kangaroo arrangement that produced Bukola as the Senate President. “Or how do you want me to recognise a man who deliberately defied his own party because of his personal interest? It is not done anywhere.

“Therefore, recognising Bukola as the Senate President after all he had done to our party today, having gone against the wish and pattern of our great party, honestly will amount to endorsing impunity, and which you should all know I will not ”,Tinubu said.

He added, “For me to recognise Senator Bukola as the Senate President, he must show remorse for today’s action. He had earlier promised to defy the party and the deed has been done. You don’t do that in politics.

“Personal interest must not override that of the party that beget you. It’s a spoken and silent rule of the game, which all and sundry must abide with. “I’m not God, but as far as this party is concerned, I’m a leader and I know what is good for the party at the appropriate time.

Speaking now is not for the party, but for myself. I cannot recognize Bukola as the Senate President.”

  1. Tinubu says he won’t recognise Saraki as the Senate President. Why will he recognise him? Isn’t that what he does to people, instead of allowing primaries, all he knows how to do best is impose someone on the people. Why is he crying? He now knows how it is when you don’t allow people to choose their choice. Saraki may not be the best, he can be impeached if he misbehave so there’s still time it is just that instead of Nigeria to move forward, it’ll still lack behind. Isn’t Lawan coming for the same thing? I think the deed has been done, they should join hands together and let’s see them working hard to improve our country instead of complaining. Or do they have alterior motives by wanting Lawan to the the Senate President. Majority carries the votes just as Saraki hjas done so keep working? Who knows, may be Tinubu want Lawan for his own selfish interest. May be wants to have a say too in the upper house. If I have my way, the likes of Tinubu, Atiku, Lai Mohammed to mention a few won’t even have a say. Let the people do what they feel it’s best, please.

  2. From my own point of view, Saraki has done a wrong thing that some of us here can never accept in our homes. This can be liking to a misconduct on the part of the party that flags him he might have won the seat if he had allow others to vote. May God help us in this country.

  3. we should not allow personal interest to conflict with the national interest because is going to invariably sky rock a controversy which will degenerate into division among party member and stalwart , the national assembly election cannot be intercepted because the parliament are sovereign and supreme , if there is any defect in the just concluded election in the national assembly ,irregularity or some members ,was disenfranchise from voting or nominate their candidate ,the working committee on media and public should conduct the cross section of the views of member of the house to sample their opinion and weigh the conduct exercise of the election,any election that fail to produce a winner that have 25% of the total vote ,another fresh election will be conduct within the house is called plebiscite or bye election to correct the anomaly situation concocted by the exercise.

  4. Tinubu sorry u do not look at the issue properly. It was not Saraki’s problem but Buhari. Why quarrel with Saraki? What happen to Buhari whom everybody assisted in becoming the president? He now sees himself as all in all. Party called the meeting Buhari did not attend Saraki too did not attend. Why blaming Saraki only? This is Northerners master plan. Tinubu take note.

  5. Sir,it does not make any difference.Accepting it or not.You just failed and that’s the beginning of your entire political failure.If you think Buhari will allow you run A P C,YOU are dreaming.You only helped the North to realize their dream.Its time to step out otherwise you will be pushed out…

  6. My candid advice to Tinubu is to let the sleeping dog lie, Did he ever know that God can give APC the kind of glory they have today? I will advice him not to think that he is all in all in everything. Let Bukola Saraki carry on the leadership of the House and every members cooperate with him and next time another person could be there, for Yesterday David Mark was there Today is Bukola Saraki tomorrow it will be some one else .

  7. Tinubu, it is not important if you recognise Saraki as the Senate president or not. You are nobody and you cannot dictate to NASS if your party did not accept him that is the problem of APC and not the rest of parties. Mr Tinubu reverse your evil mind and plans. I know that you are not a true democrat. If you were to be in Jonathan’s position who accepted the result of election am sure you will create war bcos you want to be there at all cost. You are a greedy man. APC is not your family affair and NASS does not belongs to you. Learn how to accept

  8. Tinubu is a plitician so also is Saraki. Very soon the duo will settle their differences on our behalf. Politics is a dirty game. No matter how you paint a mould house, a mould is a mould! A politician is a politician no matter how enticing their grammatical inclination. Tinubu has no reason to question or complain about Senator Buokla Saraki emergence because he, Tinubu would have done the same to one or two persons before. Tinubu is a type that never wanted to be defeated in any area. Nigeria is for all and never a family affair. Nigeria is not a private or personal business. This is pure politics. It is too late to complain now. This is the time to support all our leaders at various levels of government to move Nigeria to the promised land. God bless Nigeria!

  9. Its obvious Buhari wanted Saraki to win, if they hadnt being distracted Saraki will still have won by majority, the point is they where not only flawed but disgraced, when they where in opposition they did same thing with Tambuwal, why is Tinibu ranting, its the first litmust test for the party, see how they failed, they hwere caught napping, After all Saraki is same standard with Tinibu from 1999 when Tinibu was governor he was governor to, he went to senate and Tinibu used lagos state resources to champion opposition cause that was the difference, Tinibu couidnt have gotten the block support the part has today alone with his Western block he controlls.

    We are yet to see more manifestations of a party without ideology, that is allowing events and characters to define there ideology. This shows that they where just busy antagonising PDP and the problems of society and politicking, they where not ideological enough to create a power sharing formula in there party rules that all must abide to, see the confusion. Tinibu an individual, chairman board of trustees of his party openly saying he will not recognise to the third office in the land, thats treasonable,if he says he wont accept until court clears the process its fine but to say you wont recognise hgim untill he shows remorse, the question is shows remorse to who, TInibu

  10. You adopted a formula that put Lagos State in young pocket. How do you think that the same formula will put Nigeria in your pocket again? There is need for advance calculus. I am still a registered and a loyal member of the ChAnGe, APC. God bless Nigeria!
