ALL Change, All Change! Ministerial Screening: APC Leaders Demand End To Saraki's Code of Conduct Tribunal Trial

I have always said that the crop of people in this so called APC and the change they claim to bring to Nigeria's body polity will at long last be a mirage. First of all, you can not point out any one of the party's national leaders that is corrupt free. Well, Nigerians will have themselves to blame for this over hyped change that is waiting to elude the nation during the cause of the next four years or so.

 

From Abubakar Audu to Timipre Sylva and now Dr Bukola Saraki will soon get his own reprieve. According to news reports, Senate president Dr Saraki has done what APC leadership wanted of him so reprieve awaits him as per his ordeal with the Code of Conduct Tribunal {CCT}, while Orubebe will be charged.

The Tribune has it that, some leaders of APC who were impressed with the way he handled the screening and confirmation of all 36 ministers, now want the trial to end. They reportedly met recently to find ways to reconcile Buhari and Saraki 

 

A source in the party told Sunday Tribune that the party chiefs were impressed that Saraki got the Senate to clear all the nominees, despite some real bottlenecks laid on the path of some of them.

 

“You can see that even in the days when the PDP had overwhelming majority, it was not always certain of getting all the ministerial nominees through the Senate. Most times, the Senate, even with an overwhelming majority of PDP members used to reject nominees of PDP presidents. But with a slim majority in the current Senate, the Senate President secured clearance for all our nominees. This is a good omen,” a leader of the party said.

 

The party chiefs also said that in the process of securing confirmation for all the nominees, Saraki also helped the APC secure its most-needed unity in the Senate, thus ensuring that the majority secured by the party was put to good use.

 

“It was the unity among APC senators that ensured the confirmation of Chief Rotimi Amaechi. If the division had remained, we won’t be able to achieve that, because all the PDP senators needed was just a few dissenting voices from the APC,” another source said.

 

“I have it on good authority that leaders of the party are insisting that one good turn deserves another and that they will work on Buhari in the new week to ensure that the party reciprocates the gestures shown by Saraki. The man has given indication that whatever the APC policies are, they can rely on the Senate as an ally,” another source stated. Kudos to Sunday Tribune
