Yusuph Olaniyonu, special adviser
to Senate President Bukola Saraki on media, has wondered what the business of
the All Progressives Congress (APC) is with his principal’s aspiration to be
president.
On Wednesday, Yekini Nabena,
APC’s acting spokesman, described the presidential aspiration of Saraki as a
joke.
But in a statement, Olaniyonu
said the senate president would not be distracted “by the antics of an upstart
who lives in Abuja”.
“The senate president will not be
distracted by the antics of an upstart who lives in Abuja but waits to sign
press statements composed for him from Lagos. When his masters show their face,
we will debate all the issues they have raised and the ones they may wish to
even concoct,” the statement read.
“One should ask, what is APC’s
business with an aspirant of another party? The truth is APC is scared stiff of
the possibility of a Saraki candidacy. Fortunately, they have no role in
deciding that.
“Meanwhile, Mr. Yekinni Nabena
should know by now that many people in the media believe he is a robot and has
no face. Here is an opportunity for him to come out of his hiding and come on a
national television to debate all the issues he has raised with one of the
aides of the senate president.
“We hope he will take up this
challenge and stop behaving like a masquerade. He is free to choose any
independent TV station of his choice.”
