Senate President Bukola Saraki, has resorted to seeking the assistance of emirs and traditional rulers, to make peace with President Buhari. He has solicited help from the Emir of his home town, Ilorin, Kwara State, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, an aide of the emir says.
President Buhari, since the inauguration of the 8th Senate on June 9, has reportedly been shunning Saraki whose emergence and that of his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu of the Peoples Democratic Party did not go down well with the leadership of the All Progressives Congress.
According to the emir’s aide who spoke on condition of anonymity, the senate president has requested some prominent traditional rulers in the state led by Sulu-Gambari, who is also the Chairman, Kwara State Council of Traditional Rulers to intercede on his behalf with Buhari.
It was gathered that the monarchs had wanted to meet with Buhari but could not as a result of the President’s visit to the United States and his recent visit to Cameroon to seek for regional collaboration against Boko Haram.
The aide said that this would not be the first time Sulu-Gambari had interceded on behalf of Saraki concerning the senate presidency.
According to him, the Emir of Ilorin before the emergence of Saraki as the Senate President had sent a team of emissaries to the National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, with a view to getting the former Lagos State governor soften on his stand against Saraki’s ambition to occupy the exalted position.
He said Saraki is now more worried with the resolution of the leadership tussle in the House of Representatives, where the Speaker, Alhaji Yakubu Dogora, after meetings with Buhari and other APC stakeholders acceded to the party’s decision and announced Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila as the House Leader.
The aide added that Saraki was in Ilorin at the weekend, adding that the Senate President would continue with his mobilisation for prominent stakeholders to smoothen the relationship between him and Buhari.
However, the spokesperson for the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Solihu Mohammed, said though he could not confirm Sulu-Gambari’s mediatory role between Buhari and Saraki, the Emir had been playing unifying roles for the sustenance of the nation’s democracy.
Mohammed said,
“I am not aware that Saraki has approached the emir to smoothen relationship with the senate president and the president of the country.”

Ok
ReplyDeleteAllah Ya ba da sa'a saraki.
ReplyDeleteI hear you.
ReplyDeleteY? Is he ill or something?
ReplyDeleteIf I were buhari , I would do the same thing. How on earth can saraki negotiate with pdp to the extent of anenih (former bot) giving him the condition of making ekweremadu his deputy and he accepted . Thereby whittled down all that apc fought for in d past year. I suspect that his wife case with efcc and efcc evidence is daunting. That's the only reason Saraki is begging. Odale
ReplyDeleteYou are silly. You don't know this stupid childish game affects You and I? Senseless

ReplyDeleteBefore reading this post, I scrolled down to see the source of the news. I didn't read any further after I saw "Punch".
ReplyDeleteOk whatever
ReplyDeleteI doubt if that will calm the tension and rivalry. Hes for nobody and includes even the emirs.
ReplyDeleteLinda, d speaker of d house of reps isn't an Alahji oh, so therefore correct ur self.
ReplyDeleteHummmmmmmmmm, Saraki is so power drunk. D earlier his wings is being cut d better. He pretends to b saint. Whereas he is so corrupt. Help ask him y he kept following federal allocation belonging to Kwara state thereby sharing it 50:50. He shd b thoroughly investigated. He has loads of corruption charges hidden
ReplyDeleteThese people are bunch of jokers.At least there is what we called separation of power,it does not matters if they are in good term or not,everyone has their duty.He should concentrate on his job .In the US the speaker comes from opposition party,but they still deliver on what will move there country forward.It is only in Nigeria that our politicians misbehave because of what they want to steal.They should get a grip.
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone could stated it better than you does, may God bless your soul

ReplyDeleteMake peace with him? For what reason{s} sir? Leave the old man and concentrate jor...
ReplyDeleteSai baba. These is discipline, saraki can't just Go against the party and expect everybody to smile at him. But I pray the president forgive him, and I hope these would make saraki knows that powered is not everything in life.

ReplyDeleteSince he (Saraki) refused to play by the rules, I hope with this mediatory move, he will be ready to play for the rules especially with the resolution of House of Representatives' leadership tussle. The condition(s) will be spelt out and I trust PMB.
ReplyDeleteLinda should not posting a story that seem written without any FACT. It propaganda story
ReplyDeleteHiss! I don't believe dis report bcos if u ask Saraki to confirm dis report he wil deny it. So wht d use of reading stories dat we all know dat its not confirmed frm d source.

ReplyDeleteOk
ReplyDeletePolitics that's how the game goes
ReplyDeleteMy joy is that the executive arm of Government can not influence dully the rulings of the legislative arm of government be it the president. Buhari can't advance with out the help of the senate. He better relaxes and settle with Saraki
ReplyDelete#Dankwata
Cldnt be bothered, na dem sabi
ReplyDeleteAs an ilorin man....kwara state is sold out...we are not abokis....yoruba ponbele we are!!!!!! When people hear emir they think we r hausas...no we are yorubas but we gain more by pretending to b northerners
ReplyDeleteSaraki is intelegent man
ReplyDeletePlz leave d old man alone. I Wonda y ur begging him
ReplyDeleteLib freak
Let honor ne given its due.
ReplyDeleteThe honorable thing is for the Elected Officials of the Senate leadership to resign and fresh election conducted, otherwise we move into single party democracy and all is lost.The alternative is for the APC to go to the Supreme Court to seek Constitutional Review if the process that produced Saraki and Ekweremadu
Buhari is a vindictive little boy. He should grow up. This is not change. Nigeria is not his personal play ground
ReplyDeletehmmmmm
ReplyDeleteBuhari do you doing well all this ass hole na God go punish all of u guts clueless bitches
