The reasons newly elected President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki visited
former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Friday have been exposed. Bukola
Saraki reportedly led a delegation of Senators to meet Obasanjo at his
hilltop mansion, Abeokuta, Ogun state. As a matter of fact, our reliable
source reported that the Senate President was in Abeokuta to beg Chief
Obasanjo to reconcile him with President Muhammadu Buhari and his party,
the All Progressives Congress, APC
Mr. Saraki emerged as the president of the Senate against the
decision of APC leaders. He was also elected when most Senators from the
APC were at the International Conference Centre waiting to hold a
meeting with Mr. Buhari to discuss the election of the Senate president
and Speaker of the House of Representatives. Our sources said Mr. Saraki
lamented to Mr. Obasanjo that although the party leaders have stated
that they have accepted his emergence, there was “complete communication
breakdown between him, the president and the party”.
The national chairman of the APC, John Oyegun, had reportedly
abruptly cancelled a scheduled meeting with Mr. Saraki last week without
giving another appointment. It was also gathered that Mr. Saraki had
tried several times to meet with Mr. Buhari after his emergence as
senate president, but was always denied audience. Another source in the
presidency revealed to us that the President is angry with Mr. Saraki
and the management of the national assembly for going ahead with their
election despite adequate knowledge of an invitation for a meeting with
Mr. Saraki and his colleagues. “The president considered it as a mark of
disrespect for his office for Saraki to ignore an invitation to meet
with him and his colleagues,” our source said.
In his response to the Senate President’s lamentation, Mr. Obasanjo
reportedly promised to do his best to “ensure communication between all
parties”. Our source said the former president, in his usual jocular
self, also joked with the delegation, saying “ you children of nowadays
only run to elders when you have finished making the damage”. Mr. Saraki
and his entourage laughed.
A presidency official reported to us that President Buhari was aware
of the the senate president’s visit to Mr. Obasanjo’s home. The official
said President Buhari and Cheif Obasanjo are constantly in touch and
regularly have telephone conversations. The official said in one of
their recent conversations, Mr. Obasanjo informed Mr. Buhari that Mr.
Saraki was leading a delegation of Senators to his Abeokuta home. “I
overheard President Buhari laughing and saying to Mr. Obasanjo, “you
have to see them, are they not all your boys?”, our presidency source
said.
Among Mr. Saraki’s delegation include former governor of Gombe state,
Danjuma Goje, Senator Andy Uba, former Zamfara governor, Ahmed Sani,
and former Osun governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola. Mr. Saraki and most
members of his delegation are largely Mr. Obasanjo’s “boys”, a term
loosely used in describing the former president’s staunch loyalists.
