The All Progressives Congress has again lashed out at the
President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, saying his presidential
aspiration is a huge joke.
The acting National Publicity Secretary of the party, Yekini
Nabena, said this in a statement in Abuja, on Wednesday.
The party said although it was the right of every Nigerian
citizen to aspire to be President of the country, it was concerned
about issues of integrity, competence and capability to preside
over the affairs of the country.
By virtue of Saraki’s antecedents, he is an abysmal
failure and is totally incompetent to offer himself as a candidate
for the leadership of Nigeria.
The APC said it was not unaware of reports that Saraki’s
presidential declaration was part of a gimmick to divert attention
from issues such as the pressure to reconvene the National
Assembly.
The statement noted that Saraki’s two-term tenure as governor of
Kwara State was evidence enough to show the stuff he was made
of.
It read in part, “By virtue of Saraki’s antecedents, he is an
abysmal failure and is totally incompetent to offer himself as a
candidate for the leadership of Nigeria.

Secretary – Yekini Nabena
“Saraki was a two-term Governor of Kwara State and Senate
President in the last three years. What were his performance
records in these two assignments? As Kwara State Governor, was his
Shonga Agricultural Programme not a white elephant project in which
hundreds of millions of state funds was sunk into?
“The infrastructure, particularly roads network in Kwara State
in which the present administration remains under his tight grip
and political machinations long after leaving office, remains
deplorable while state resources is mismanaged through corrupt
enrichment.”
