Why Saraki Cannot Be Nigeria’s President — APC
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared that the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, is unfit to lead Nigeria.
Yekini Nabena, APC National Publicity Secretary, said this in a statement on Wednesday.
He noted that while every Nigerian has the right to run for any office, there are many issues that border on such person’s integrity, antecedents, competence and capability to preside over the affairs of the country.
Nabena stated that APC was aware that Saraki’s presidential declaration was a tactic to deflect attention from the deluge of issues he deals with, particularly ahead of the 2019 General Elections.
He said pressure to reconvene the National Assembly, a fast-shifting political order in Kwara State, among others were a few examples.
Nabena wrote: “By virtue of Saraki’s antecedents, he is an abysmal failure and is totally incompetent to offer himself as a candidate for leadership of Nigeria. Saraki was a two-term Governor of Kwara State and Senate President in the last three years. What were his performance records in these two assignments?
“As Kwara State Governor, was his Shonga Agricultural Programme, not a white elephant project in which hundreds of millions of State funds was sunk into? The infrastructure, particularly roads network in Kwara State in which the present administration remains under his tight grip and political machinations long after leaving office, remains deplorable while state resources are mismanaged through corrupt enrichment.
“A Presidential aspirant who promises to create jobs and turn around the economy at the national level must have done so in a state he served as Governor for eight years. We challenge Saraki to give the nation his scorecard as a Kwara State Governor.
“As Senate President, how Saraki used the position to superintend over budget padding, sabotage of the executive by frustrating confirmation of presidential nominees, stalling legislative approvals for election budgets and his recent shadow boxing on the Electoral Act, among other treacherous actions against the APC (which he was then a member) in pursuit of his selfish political interests has been well reported.
“Was Saraki’s Senate Presidency not a journey of shame and disgrace? – moving from one Court or Tribunal to another over charges of forgery of Senate Rules, false declaration of assets, and being linked with armed robbers who brutally killed and maimed innocent residents in Offa recently.
“Saraki says he is heeding the call of Nigerian youths to contest the Presidency. We are not aware of any meeting of Nigerian youths held during which they decided that. For the record, the #NotTooYoungToRun group berated Saraki for selfishly using their forum to make his presidential declaration. We are not surprised by Saraki’s selfish actions as it has come to define his politics and persona.
“Saraki says he will offer leadership driven by empathy. Coming from an incredibly selfish and self-opinionated politician this is indeed an irony. Saraki’s Presidential aspiration is a huge joke and should not be taken seriously.
“He has repeatedly displayed his character as extremely selfish, deceitful, untrustworthy and unreliable. His only goal is to get to the top, stay at the top, ruin or wreck whatever he finds there or in the event of failure, collapse the system or process.
“Nigerians have had enough of Dr. Bukola Saraki’s retrogressive and disruptive style of politics and deserve no more.”

Nabena, you are duty bound to defend your present colony. But please rather than all these propaganda, why not arrange and answer Saraki on the challenge of National debate he gave to APC. I think that will be better.

Quit the hypocrisy.
Tony Blair and Boris Johnson and Theresa May
and all the English politicians are urging and
forcing us lavishly in Nigeria to remain one
country. I’ve recently looked at this rather closely
and, it has prompted me to ask myself some
questions.
1. Why is England so interested in Nigeria? Does
England love Nigeria? Because, the last I checked
all England ever did was conquer and exploit
Nigeria through colonization – one word does
colonialism justice, exploitation.
2. If referendum for Biafra is so wrong, how come
England granted a referendum to Scotland, is it
because they’re white people?
3. If remaining one is the only row to hoe, how
come England bolted out of the European Union?
4. If unity and oneness are the ultimate good as
in ‘be all end all,’ how come the Welsh and Irish
and Scottish want absolutely nothing to do with
England?
Understand: What England wants for Nigeria is
not working for England so, why must Nigeria
adopt a useless ideal as a model?
When will the English expunge their hatred and
vengeance against the Igbos of West Africa?
