APC has no hand in Saraki’s travail, Gbajabiamila says

In from Olumide Olaoluwa . . .
The Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila on Thursday said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has no hand in the travail of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
Speaking with State House correspondents after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari, he said that the current travails of the Senate President was just a judicial issue.
He said: “I’m not sure at what you’re alluding to; I’m not in the Senate. But the little I understand is that there is an issue involved with the Senate President. That has nothing to do with the APC.
“That has to do with the issue of law and I’m sure the Senate President is being surely represented and he will have his day in court.
“If the matter comes up, I don’t think it’s an APC issue; it’s not an APC issue at all. There is no crisis, not in the House.”

On political solution to resolve Saraki’s matter, he said: “I can’t comment and promote things that are unsubstantiated.
“You know the problem is a constitutional legal problem and I don’t know how you can treat constitutional legal problem politically. If that be the case, perhaps I may not know.”
He said he was at the Presidential Villa along with three other Representatives to discuss ‎the 2016 Budget and other issues towards cementing the relations between the lawmakers and the Executive.
Gbajabiamila also declared his support and his colleagues’ support for the anti-corruption war of President Buhari.
