The All Progressives Congress in Kwara State has strongly condemned the
call for the resignation of the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola
Saraki by desperate politicians and their agents while also dismissing a
statement credited to Lagos APC Spokesman, Mr Joe Igbokwe as a clear act
of impersonation.
In a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja by the Publicity Secretary,
Alhaji Sulyman Buhari, the party described Mr Joe Igbokwe as an
impersonator on a mission to cause confusion within the APC family in the
country.
“ýWe wish to strongly condemn the statement as unacceptable and a clear
act of impersonation. It should also be noted that Mr Igbokwe’s statement
doesn’t represent the views of members of our party across the country.
What Mr Igbokwe has exhibited is a clear act of impersonation. Is he the
Chairman or National Publicity Secretary of our party?
“For anyone who was tempted to doubt our claim that the case against the
Senate President is not an anti-corruption driven case but a
politically-motivated prosecution aimed at undermining the person and the
office of the Senate President, it is now clearer. Mr Igbokwe’s recent
vituperation against the person and the office of the Senate President is
part of the script designed by desperate politicians to pull down the
Senate President at all costs.
ý”Again, we wish to unequivocally and categorically condemn, reject and
dismiss the call for the resignation of Senate President Bukola Saraki by
sponsored faceless groups and bought souls as out of place and
politically-sponsored.
“Kwara APC also reiterates that with the collective resolve of Nigerians
for a peaceful and prosperous Nigeria with utmost regard for principles of
separation of powers and the independence of the legislature coupled with
the uprightness of the judicial system, this satanic plot against the
Senate President is doomed to fail.”, the statement read.
