The Acting National Publicity
Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Yekini Nabena, has said the
Senate President, Bukola Saraki wanted to “play a double game but was caught.”
Nabena alleged that Saraki
“wanted to remain within the party in order to kill it.”
Speaking with Punch on Saturday,
the APC spokesperson noted that Saraki plotted “coup d’état” with the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, Senators to become Senate President against the wishes
of APC.
He insisted that Saraki left the
ruling party due to his personal interest, adding that he was using his
position to negotiate with the government.
Nabena said, “Just like I have
just told you; people like Saraki as Senate President are using their positions
to negotiate with government which is not possible with this government.
“This government is serious about
the anticorruption fight. How can we live with a situation which Saraki put the
APC-led administration in by having a member of the opposition Peoples
Democratic Party as Deputy Senate President?
“And on top of that, he now wants
to be president when we have a sitting president who has indicated interest in
seeking for a second term. All that Saraki is doing is to pursue his selfish
interest; he is not interested in the people.
“The President of the Senate had
no choice because he wanted to play a double game and he was caught. He wanted
to remain within the party in order to kill it. From the beginning, you will
agree with me that he was never faithful to the party.
“The coup d’état he plotted with
PDP senators to become Senate President against the wishes of the party is
there for everyone to see. That he has left today is not a surprise to most of
us; he was never present, he only used the party to achieve his personal
agenda.”
