by Kingseyi Sun Jul 22, 2018 4:57 pmIlorin – The former Chairman of the new Peoples
Democratic Party (nPDP), Alhaji Abubakar Kawu
Baraje has said that members of the party and
the supporters of the Senate President, Dr
Bukola Saraki have decoded to dump the ruling
All Progressives Congress(APC)with or without
the senate president,even as he described the
juicy appointments being offered them by the
presidency as an embarrassment.
Baraje
Baraje particularly expressed surprise and
shock at the desperation of the All
Progressives Congress( APC) to woo the
Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, the
Speaker of the House of Representatives ,
Yakubu Dogara and other aggrieved
members of the the party.
He said the juicy positions being promised
Saraki and others is rather too late, describing
the present time as “eve of the 2019 general
elections.”
Baraje said this on Sunday in an interview with
journalists in ilorin while reacting to media
reports on plan by presidency to offer the
Senate President and others juicy positions to
stop them from defecting to other political
parties.
According to him,””The followers of the Senate
President particularly from Kwara state and
across the country have already resolved to
leave the APC with or without Saraki , so it is
now left for the Senate President to take a
decision more so that he is an experienced and
a seasoned politician.”
Baraje said though , he was not aware of the
juicy offers from the presidency but wondered
why such offer would be coming after three
years in office of the present administration of
the APC under President Muhammadu Buhari.
“As far as I know , there is no juicy position that
can replace the kind of embarrassment ,
debasement and horrifying experiences many of
us have suffered and gone through in the hands
of some few mischievous members of the APC,
it’s quite unfortunate,” he added .
Baraje disclosed that as far as he and his
supporters and followers are concerned ,they
have taken a decision and they are about to
reach the final stage of such decision.
Baraje stressed “If the Senate President feels it
is fit for him to stay back, all is well and good.
But the Senate President as a leader also has
his supporters and followers and if they have
decided to leave the party , I don’t know what
he (Saraki) will still be doing behind.
He said further that the Senate president has the
right to either take such juicy position or jettison
it , but sounded a note of warning that what is
clear is that his supporters and followers have
taken a decision.
