Lai Mohammed, minister of
information, says Senate President Bukola Saraki slowed down the progress of
the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Mohammed said this on Wednesday
while briefing state house correspondents after the weekly federal executive
council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the
council chamber of the presidential villa in Abuja,
On Tuesday, the senate president
and Abdulfatah Ahmed, governor of Kwara state, defected from the ruling party
to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Mohammed, who is also from Kwara,
said Saraki behaved like a member of the opposition party while in APC.
He said the party stands to lose
nothing with his defection but would rather heave a sigh of relief.
“If Senate President Bukola
Saraki were not a member of the APC, the party and the government it leads
could not have suffered more than they had already done, with regards to the
delay in passing the budget, approving key appointments and so on,” he said.
“In other words, Saraki has
behaved all along as a member of the opposition, deliberately slowing down the
progress of the APC-led federal government.
“It is therefore neither a
surprise nor a blow that he has defected. Perhaps, the only surprise is that
when he eventually defected, it was a mere whimper!
“If we didn’t gain by having our
member as Senate President, we stand to lose nothing by losing him.”
