2019: APC scared of my candidacy – Saraki

 

By Mumini AbdulKareem

Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki on Wednesday has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of being scared of his candidature in the advent of his emergence as the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate.
In a statement signed by his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, Saraki said he would not be distracted by the antics of the opposition, adding that he has no credibility issue.
He described the party’s spokesman as “robot”, who is being tele-guided from Lagos and challenged him to a televised debate with one of his (Saraki’s) aides.
The statement reads:
“The Senate President will not be distracted by the antics of an upstart who lives in Abuja but waits to sign press statements composed for him from Lagos. When his masters show their face, we will debate all the issues they have raised and the ones they may wish to even concoct.
“Dr. Saraki does not have any credibility issues except the ones concocted by these putative demagogues to whom the Senate President has become a nightmare. One should ask, what is APC’s business with an aspirant of another party? The truth is APC is scared stiff of the possibility of a Saraki candidacy. Fortunately, they have no role in deciding that.
“Meanwhile, Mr. Yekinni Nabena should know by now that many people in the media believe he is a robot and has no face. Here is an opportunity for him to come out of his hiding and come on a national television to debate all the issues he has raised with one of the aides of the Senate President. We hope he will take up this challenge and stop behaving like a masquerade. He is free to choose any independent TV station of his choice”.
