APC declares Saraki unfit for Senate Presidency

¬-He can’t be compelled to resign – Sagay

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared that the incumbent Senate President Bukola Saraki, has lost everything to qualify him and continue as the presiding office of the Senate.
The party said since the beginning of the 8th National Assembly, Senator Saraki has allegedly involved “in one controversy or the other – budget padding, filibustering, legislative rascality, sabotage of matters of national interest, among other criminalities too numerous to mention.” In a statement signed yesterday in Abuja by the APC Acting National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, the party said in every democratic country, the position of the Senate President is one of the highest political offices one can attain.
According to him, “it is a position reserved for the best of the best, experienced and exemplary politicians who by their character and conduct in public offices, the younger generation look up to as role models.” For Saraki’s Presidency, the party said, it “has been a dismal failure.
“Having suffered under the 16-year misrule of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr.
Saraki will go down in our country’s history as the worst Senate President Nigeria has had the misfortune to have.
“Since his usurpation of the coveted seat, he achieved through a wicked conspiracy with members of the opposition PDP, it has been from one controversy to another – the Code of Conduct trial for false declaration of assets; conspiracy with his deputy to fraudulently alter the rules of the Senate and links to the deadly armed robbers who wasted many lives in the Offa robbery attack.
“It is alleged that some of the robbery suspects were his political thugs used to rig elections; a common adage says: ‘Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are.’ “All over the world, the leadership of the legislature is provided by the political party with majority members.
But Dr.
Saraki would, in the absence of many members of his former party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), connive and conspire with members of the opposition PDP to emerge Senate President, and in the process tradeoff the Deputy Senate President position to the opposition PDP-a political betrayal and treachery even the devil would be envious of.
“Even at this time he has defected to the opposition PDP, and with APC still in the majority in the Senate, Dr. Saraki still has the impudence to present himself as the Senate President.
Political ambition should be made of nobler stuff.
“One is of course not surprised as Dr. Saraki’s greed, selfishness, treachery, disregard for protocol and constituted authority is wellreported.
In terms of treachery, Dr. Saraki’s public humiliation of his late father and sister comes readily to mind,” the party claimed
