Saraki is a frustrated man, he has lost all political relevance —Pro-Buhari group

President of the Nigerian Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has been described as a frustrated man who has lost all political relevance in the country.

Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) which stated this in a statement signed by its chairman, Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary, Cassidy Madueke, was reacting to Saraki’s statement that the victory of Buhari in the 2019 presidential election would be short-lived.

But responding, BMO said the comment by Saraki could only be described as the ranting of a politically expired person who has lost so much in the power equation and is fast on his way to political extinction.

“We consider the unpatriotic outbursts of Saraki as proof of a man who is frustrated after losing his political constituency as a senator, lost his bid to maintain a political empire, as well as his attempts to impose his lackeys on the good people of Kwara State.

“It is on record that Dr. Saraki has, since the inception of the present administration, constituted himself into a cog in the wheel of the country’s progress by using his office as Senate President to undermine the efforts of the Buhari administration to reposition the country,” the statement read in part.

It added, that the outgoing Senate President is a political schemer, and that he had at last ended up in political irrelevance with all his loss in the 2019 general elections.

Saraki lost his Senate re-election bid, his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lost the state’s governorship election and virtually all political positions in Kwara, a state that apparently has been under his control for over 10 years.

The party also lost the presidential election, where Saraki would have got a veritable political position, had Atiku Abubakar of the PDP emerged President.
