The Presidency has described Senate President Bukola Saraki as dangerous and someone who is capable of going to any length to protect his personal interests.
President Muhammadu Buhari’s media aide, Garba Shehu, said this in a statement on Thursday, in reaction to ‘derogatory speeches’ made by Saraki.
“Throughout his political career, Senator Saraki has shown that he is a very dangerous person who can go any length to promote his personal interests. The language of his campaign is such that cannot be used against a domestic help,” he said.
Shehu wondered how Saraki suddenly began to make negative remarks about the president whom he once revered.
The Senate President who is a presidential aspirant under the PDP, on Thursday visited Bayelsa State as he seeks support for his ambition.
During the meeting with stakeholders, he condemned the current administration, describing the President as one who lacked vision.
In response, Shehu asked, “Is he just knowing that the President lacked vision? This is someone that the Senator had worked with very closely for more than three years. Amazingly, he never said all that he is now saying against him. Rather, his word for and on the President were always respectful and reassuring. That’s the man he called “My Father,” about him “there is no cause for alarm…a President who is healthy, witty and himself.” What then changed, all of a sudden?
“Is he saying these blatantly false and crude things against the President because he is gunning for the same office? Could it be that he is targeting President Buhari because the party he just joined does not have any real issues to highlight?”.
The president’s aide, however, appealed to Buhari’s supporters to ignore the comments.
He said, “our appeal to our supporters is to ignore Saraki and any such politicians bent on lowering the quality of political discourse. Let them drown in their own waters”.
