Kwara State All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked former governor of the state, Senator Bukola Saraki to clear himself of the allegations that he is a double-faced politician.
He is alleged to be parroting for the Peoples Democratic Party PDP in Kwara but feigns support for President Tinubu’s second term aspiration in Abuja in exchange for contracts.
In a statement, the spokesperson of the party in the state, Abdulwaheed Babatunde expressed concerns at a recent revelation that Saraki is affiliating with the ruling party in Abuja to draw personal benefits, while he continues to posture as leader of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) back in Kwara State.
The party said such an attitude amounts to stinking hypocrisy, disloyalty and double-dealing, and an assault on his followers who continue to bear the brunt of misguided loyalty.
The party also said Saraki has shown no respect to the electorates with his deceptive political stance, urging the public to be wary of his selfishness.
“Since Prof. Sulaiman Abubakar dropped the bombshell during a radio session, we have seen a well-coordinated attempt to smear his personality by some hirelings. That’s very low and unwise. What is expected of the former Senate President is to clarify the issue. It is a weighty allegation and Saraki owes it not only to public conscience to put things into perspective, but also to his followers whose loyalty continues to hang in the balance,” a statement by Kwara APC’s spokesperson Alhaji Abdulwaheed Babatunde said.
“The revelation is, however, not surprising. It only confirms the vintage Saraki: cunning, deceptive, unprincipled, and loyal to himself alone. It is still fresh in our memories how he betrayed the party leadership to emerge Senate President in 2015 and even blackmailed and disrespected Asiwaju Tinubu in the process. For him, integrity and honesty count for nothing.”
The party, therefore, warned officials dealing with Bukola Saraki in the nation’s capital to be very wary of his hypocritical tendencies, noting he has a record of betrayal and not sticking to principles.
