"Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, reiterated yesterday that he would
not join issues with National Leader of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Saraki said while there’s been no meeting between the duo, he recognises
Tinubu as one of the leaders, who contributed to the party’s victory in
the general polls, adding that his efforts are now geared to ensuring
APC’s success.
“I saw the statement said to be issued by Senator Tinubu over a story
published by The Sun newspapers. I have decided not to join issues with
Asiwaju Tinubu. However, I know that most Nigerians are aware that there
has been no meeting or communication between me and Tinubu since I was
elected Senate president. Therefore, I do not see any basis for a
newspaper to report that we are both plotting to oppose the President,
Muhammadu Buhari.
“I recognise Tinubu as one of the leaders of the APC who contributed so
much to the victory of the party in the last election. Some other people
also contributed and I believe the collective efforts made it possible
for the first time in the history of our party for an opposition party
to win the general elections,
“Let me state clearly that I remain a committed member of the APC and
will do all in my power to ensure the party fulfil its promises to bring
positive changes into the country.”
On Sunday, Tinubu debunked insinuations that he was plotting with Saraki against Buhari."
