Saraki Saved Apc From National Embarrassment –Sen JKN Waku

The leadership of All Progressives Congress, APC, has been advised to embrace and show appreciation to the Sen­ate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, for saving the party from national em­barrassment following the absence of APC sena­tors at the National As­sembly when the inaugu­ration of new leadership of the upper chamber was taking place.

  In a recent programme on channels tv,Sen.Waku took a swipe at some members of the party that have been criticizing the process that le to the emer­gence of Saraki as Sen­ate President, a chieftain of APC, Senator Joseph Waku, noted that Saraki through his emergence was able to save APC from na­tional disgrace.

“Where were those APC senators shedding croco­dile tears now? Were they not to be seated in the hal­lowed chambers on the day inauguration took place? But they were nowhere to be seen.

“They went for a so-called meeting allegedly summoned by President Buhari – but this was pure falsehood as the president had already given the go-ahead for the inauguration at a time these senators and their sponsors called their own meeting.
“If Saraki and some other patriotic APC sena­tors were not there at the National Assembly that day, PDP candidate could have easily emerged as Senate President because they had more members seated that day than APC.

Calling on those attack­ing Saraki to stop doing so, Waku said:
“These APC sena­tors have themselves to blame. Although they refer to themselves as members of the Unity Group, but I will like to refer them as members of the Disunity Group. Saraki should be hailed as a saviour and hero of our democracy. He de­serve our accolades rather than condemnation.
Urging Saraki to remain focused, Waku implored the Senate President to continue with his work, and not allow himself to be distracted by those he described as enemies of de­mocracy.
While saying that the present leadership of the Senate under Saraki is an ideal one that will serve the interests of the nation very well, Waku urged all stake­holders to cooperate with Saraki in order to move Na­tional Assembly forward.
