Senate President Bukola Saraki /Facebook
The All Progressives Congress (APC) claimed that Senate President Bukola Saraki is unfit for the exalted position, saying he is a traitor.
This was according to a statement by the APC on Thursday where it said Saraki is a “failure.”
“In terms of exemplary personage, the reverse is the case in respect of the current Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki who has been a dismal failure and has been involved in one controversy or the other – budget padding, filibustering, legislative rascality, sabotage of matters of national interest, among other criminalities too numerous to mention,” the statement said.
“Having suffered under the 16-year misrule of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Saraki will go down in our country’s history as the worst Senate President Nigeria has had the misfortune to have.
“Since his usurpation of the coveted seat, achieved through a wicked conspiracy with members of the opposition PDP, it has been from one controversy to another – the Code of Conduct trial for false declaration of assets; conspiracy with his deputy to fraudulently alter the rules of the Senate and links to the deadly armed robbers who wasted many lives in the Offa robbery attack.”
Furthermore, the statement said, “Dr. Saraki is definitely not our good example for political leadership.
“All over the world, the leadership of the legislature is provided by the political party with majority members.
“But Dr. Saraki would in the absence of many members of his former party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), connive and conspire with members of the opposition PDP to emerge Senate President, and in the process tradeoff the Deputy Senate President position to the opposition PDP – a political betrayal and treachery even the devil would be envious of.”
The party said, “One is of course not surprised as Dr. Saraki’s greed, selfishness, treachery, disregard for protocol and constituted authority is well-reported.
“In terms of treachery, Dr. Saraki’s public humiliation of his late father and sister comes readily to mind.
“A traitor will always be a traitor, however the time and place. The Senate must do everything possible to put Dr. Saraki where he rightly belongs – the back seat.
“He is definitely not a fit and proper person to preside over the country’s upper and revered legislative house.”
