Senate President Bukola Saraki
has fired some shots at Adams Oshiomhole, national chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
This comes one day after he vowed
not to descend into the gutter with the ruling party.
Saraki had resisted hitting back
at the APC which described him as a failure who swims in controversy.
But on Friday, the senate
president went all out for Oshiomhole who vowed that he would be removed from
office.
The APC chairman had boasted that
Saraki would not only be removed but that his party would deploy its resources
to ensure that he does not return to the senate in 2019.
In a statement issued on his
behalf by Yusuph Olaniyonu, his spokesman, Saraki accused the APC chairman of
making reckless comments.
“It is rather surprising that Mr.
Adams Oshiomhole is behaving like a rain-beaten chicken, crying all over the
place about Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, as if the Senate President is the
apparition haunting his life and the sinking ship that he captains,” the
statement read.
“Having decided not to join the
pigs in rolling in the dirt; we would not like to be involved in any
meaningless exchange with the demagogue now in charge of APC. However, because
he claimed that he was reacting to the issues raised by the Senate President
during his World Press Conference, we thought it necessary to give the APC
chairman some attention.
“Alas, we found that instead of
addressing any issue raised by the Senate President, his press conference
merely showcased his obsession and those of his sponsors with Saraki’s removal,
which he did without any decorum befitting of his age or his awarded office. He
brimmed with hate, hurled abuses, threw tantrums, told lies, huffed, puffed. In
the end, he said nothing.
“It is indeed amazing that the
same Oshiomhole, who is now describing Saraki as a politician of no consequence
was the same one who only a few months ago was crawling all over the place
pleading for Saraki’s support to become chairman. We are sure that those who
took him to Saraki several times to plead his case must now be thoroughly
embarrassed by his reckless and uncouth manner.
“By his conduct and utterances,
Oshiomhole, who accused Saraki of not acting in national interest needs to do
more to convince Nigerians that his desperate desire to become party chairman
is not simply to feed his over-sized ego.
“The position of Oshiomhole and
his cohorts in the APC that the Senate President must resign is a mere wishful
thinking. They will continue to dream about their planned removal of the Senate
President. They will need 73 Senators to lawfully remove Dr. Saraki and they
will never get that in the present eight Senate.
“This garrulous, tactless and
reckless APC chairman should know that a million of Adams Oshiomhole cannot remove
Saraki as Senate President. His illegal plots, can only feed his insatiable ego
and keep him awake at nights. But it will remain an exercise in futility.”
