I won’t defect to PDP – Saraki

image

Senate President, Bukola Saraki has affirmed that he will not defect to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Saraki described President Muhammadu Buhari’s reaction to Tuesday’s election of National Assembly leaders as a “great mark of leadership”.
In a statement issued by his media office yesterday, the Senate President lauded Buhari for remaining steadfast in his commitment not to interference in National Assembly politics, even in the face of great pressure on him to act otherwise.
“This shows that Mr President is a man of great conviction who, in his own words, belongs to everyone and to no one,” he said.
Saraki also denied insinuations that he had a plan to defect to PDP, describing the insinuation as “absurd and laughable.”
“It is just cheap blackmail by political adversaries who want to call a dog a bad name in order to hang it. And those making such desperate allegations should remember that I willingly left the PDP on matters of principle when the party was in power. Is it now that the party is out of government and in opposition that I will now return, having worked so hard for my party in the last general elections?” He queried.
He urged all members of the National Assembly to put politicking behind them and settle down for the proper business of law making.
“Our country is going through a very trying times. We have the challenge of insecurity in the North East. The massive problem of youth unemployment and general economic challenges occasioned by major fall in revenue – all these against the huge public expectation that propelled our party into office.
“We have pursued our legitimate aspirations appropriately. Now that the issues have been settled, we need to move on in the larger interest of our people without whose mandate we would not have been in a position to aspire to these positions in the first place,” he noted.
