Saraki deserves no tears – Joe Igbokwe (Vanguard)

Igbokwe is an impersonator – Kwara APC
Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Lagos State chapter, Joe Igbokwe, has taken a swipe at the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, saying he engineered his own predicament and should not be shown pity.
In an article sent to Vanguard, Igbokwe who wondered why Saraki disregarded the wish of his party, by leading ‘a gang of forty thieves’ to disrupt the plan of the ruling APC, stated that Nigerians should not pity the Senate President because he tried to be bigger than the party.
Responding however, the Kwara State chapter of the APC, in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Sulyman Buhari, described the Lagos APC Spokesman, Mr Joe Igbokwe as an impersonator on a mission to cause confusion within the APC family in the country.

APC does not want Bukola Saraki as the Senate President
Igbokwe said: “One of the biggest problems facing Nigeria today is impunity. It has led to corruption, arrogance, brigandage, deep political crisis and outright murder. This pandemic disease has led to near collapse of our economy, collapse of values, collapse of institutions and collapse of governance. This high table mentality in Nigeria has led gullible people to take laws into their hands and damn the consequences to the detriment of 160 million Nigerians.
“This is the reason why Senator Saraki ignored his Party (APC) directives and connived with a useless party (PDP) we just defeated to steal the Senate Presidency. He did not stop there, the criminal arrangement led to the emergence of Senator Ekweremadu of PDP as the Deputy Senate President. The moment this brigandage took place we saw wild jubilation in the camp of PDP. Ekweremadu went to Enugu State and told his people that PDP is back. A lady who is a PDP member mockingly said to me: “yes APC won the election but we have taken over the National Assembly” it was then that it became clear to me the extent of damage Senator Saraki inflicted on the leadership of APC.
“What Senator Saraki did is unheard of in the history of Party politics. Saraki made the world to believe that APC leaders are unprepared for the task of governing this country. Saraki’s inordinate ambition at once put a question mark on the capacity of leaders of APC to drive leadership in Nigeria. Saraki tried to prove to the whole world that he is smarter than all the leaders of APC put together. Saraki ignored 51 APC Senators who were in a meeting and went to do business with 49 PDP Senators, a party APC just defeated after 16 years bloody struggle. Senator Saraki bribed his way to the clerk of the Senate and cajoled him to proclaim a Senate that is incomplete. Saraki and Ekweremadu criminally changed the Senate rules in order to carry out the open robbery we saw in the hallowed Chamber of the Senate of Federal Republic of Nigeria.
