That Bukola Saraki was keenly and desperately ambitious to become the
Senate President of the 8th National Assembly from the blow of the
whistle was an open secret. To realise his ambition, he capitalised on
apparent error of omission or commission by the All Progressives
Congress leaders on the inauguration day of the National Assembly.
Saraki’s assumption of the mantle of leadership of the Senate was not
without blatant defiance of the APC leadership position on the subject
matter. It however beat everybody’s imagination no sooner had Saraki
been sworn in as Senate President than his wife was questioned by the
EFCC. Saraki himself is now in the news for an alleged false asset
declaration.
Not yet proved though, there is always an element of truth in every rumour...
While aspiring for the Senate Presidency, little did Saraki know
President Muhammadu Buhari was going to be fully committed to righting
the multiple wrongs that had drawn the nation backward socially,
politically and economically for decades. Buhari is bent on clearing the
cancerous rot in the system and the entire nation and even the whole
world is firmly behind him.
The mention of Buhari’s name is the beginning of fear. And the fear of
Buhari is the beginning of wisdom in Nigeria. The President has yet to
appoint a Minister of Power and electricity supply is significantly
improving tending towards relative stability. He has yet to appoint a
Minister of Petroleum Resources, yet prices of petroleum products are
bowing to the demand of natural deregulation.
Diesel is now being sold for plus or minus N110 per litre. Petrol, in
some filling stations, now sell below the official price of N87 per
litre. Somebody sometime ago asked Buhari to prove to Boko Haram that he
is a soldier. Far beyond the era of having a free day, the insurgents
now admit there is fire in the mountain. Who says the Buhari-led APC
government is not bringing about unprecedented changes in the land? Any
objection against the anti-corruption war being championed by the Buhari
government would be strongly resisted by the Nigerian masses. Public
office aspirants who admit self-guilt on corruption and whose cardboards
are full of incriminating skeletons are advised to steer clear of
Buhari’s government as there are no hidden places any longer.
Buhari has constituted a rampaging bulldozer against corrupt Nigerians
and downtrodden Nigerian masses, shortchanged for long, are
wholeheartedly behind him to succeed.

I want President Muhammadu Buhari to step in and settle the differences
that occured in the All Progressives Congress following the election of
Dr Bukola Saraki as the Senate President. The leadership of the All
Progressives Congress should accept him. To me, all what is happening to
Saraki now was politically motivated by the APC leadership.
In the interest of our country and democracy, Buhari should come in and
settle this matter. I am appealing to the APC leadership to embrace
peace and leave the Senate President alone.
