the All Progressives Congress (APC) over his (Saraki’s) performance at the
just concluded Presidential Primary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The APC spokesman, Yekini Nabena had in a statement issued on Tuesday,
mocked Saraki’s performace saying that his “Presidential bid had crashed”
However in a statement issued by Yusuph Olaniyonu, Special Adviser on
Media and Public Affairs to the President of the Senate, Saraki said that
the APC is always disturbed by the sound of his name.
Saraki however advised the APC and its leadership to stop focusing on
developments in the opposition party and seek ways to solve the “civil
war” that had been ignited in the party.
The statement by Saraki reads:
“We have noted the irresponsible statement issued by the APC spokesman,
Yekinni Nabena.
“We know that he and the leadership of the APC are always incensed and
disturbed at the mere hearing of the name, Saraki. It is also notable that
Nabena and the APC are always concerned about the developments in the
opposition party, the PDP.
“However, we believe that with the ‘civil war’ that Adams Oshiomhole and
Yekinni Nabena have ignited in the APC and the very low level that they
have dragged the party, in such manner that the ruling party is wallowing
in confusion and disorganization, they have too much to pre-occupy them
than to be poking their noses in what happens to Saraki or the PDP,” he
said.
