Saraki: "Police IG Wants To Embarrass Me, To Prevent My Defection" - Edoman - 07-24-2018 Buhari want Senate President to be arrested and detained in the next 72 hours to stop him defecting with other senators on Thursday. The following are his tweets: Quote:The Police have obviously corrupted and politicized their investigations into the Offa robbery incident. They have turned it into an instrument for the party in power to suppress perceived opponents.[size=undefined] https://mobile.twitter.com/bukolasaraki/status/1021510014442328064[/size] RE: Saraki: "Police IG Wants To Embarrass Me, To Prevent My Defection" - Edoman - 07-24-2018 Quote: https://www.headlineng.com/able-escape-siege-home-saraki/ RE: Saraki: "Police IG Wants To Embarrass Me, To Prevent My Defection" - Edoman - 07-24-2018 There are indications that the reign of Senator Bukola Saraki as the president of the Nigerian Senate may come to an end today if plans by a group of senators materialise. Saraki is rumoured to have concluded his defection plans from the ruling All Progressives Congress sometime this week, a move that would leave the leadership of the Senate in the hands of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party. “There is plan for rival Senate group to sit and elect new principal officers today,” a source told The Guardian. Saraki’s nPDP caucus of the APC last month accused the APC of failing to honour its campaign promises, tagging the party as deceitful. The group has since cut ties with the APC. Saraki on his part has been having a running battle with a power bloc in the party. This culminated in him being invited by the Nigerian police in June after it claimed that members of a robbery gang that attacked six banks and killed 33 persons in Offa, Kwara, confessed to have a “direct link” to the senate president. Saraki denied any wrongdoing. He was again invited late Monday night to appear at Guzape Police Station on Tuesday morning. His residence, as well as that of his deputy, PDP’s Ike Ekweremadu, was initially besieged by police officers who thought he was going to abscond. He was, however, allowed to leave his home to honour the police invitation. In his absence, The Guardian, a group of senators, plan to install a new Senate President. More details later. http://guardian.ng/news/apc-senators-may-unseat-saraki-today/?F RE: Saraki: "Police IG Wants To Embarrass Me, To Prevent My Defection" - Edoman - 07-24-2018 Quote:Having sensed the sinister move by the opposing camp, Saraki decided to outsmart them by quickly sneaking into the National Assembly with a rickety vehicle he drove himself. http://saharareporters.com/2018/07/24/breaking-tension-saraki-sneaks-self-national-assembly-rickety-vehicle RE: Saraki: "Police IG Wants To Embarrass Me, To Prevent My Defection" - Edoman - 07-26-2018 PRESS RELEASE TIMI Frank exposes fresh plot to arrest Saraki Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progreasives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has raised an alarm over a fresh plot to arrest the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, on the orders of the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris in connivance with the presidency. Frank in a statement in Abuja said he has reliable information that the IGP has ordered operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) to raid Saraki’s residence any moment from this night and effect his arrest. He described the plot as an act of desperation and utter wickedness by the IGP who is overly eager to redeem his image following the failure of the police to prevent Saraki from attending the sitting of the Senate on Tuesday where 15 APC lawmakers defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Frank said that the Presidency is equally anxious to get back at Saraki over the defections and therefore has mandated the IGP to ensure his arrest and detention simply to embarrass him. “Recall that the police on Tuesday morning laid siege on the residence of the President of the Senate and that of his deputy in a bid to arrest and prevent them from attending plenary. Saraki was able to escape and presided over the Senate. “Following the development the presidency summoned the IGP and after berating him for failing to gag Saraki, gave him a fresh ultimatum to arrest Saraki using every power at his disposal. “This act of desperation by the IGP, backed by the presidency against Saraki is condemnable as it has no place in democracy. “I hereby call on all Nigerias and members of the international community to rise in unison to condemn this act of tyranny and barbarity being perpetrated against the President of the Senate by the present administration using the police. “As you read this statement the SARS may already be storming the residence of the President of the Senate and I want to call on Nigerians to hold the IGP and the presidency responsible should any harm befall him following the plot to invade his residence in the dead of the night,” Frank said. He added that Saraki is a respectable and responsible leader who cannot hurt a fly, saying all efforts being made by this administration through the police to tie the Offa Robbery allegations on him will once again collapse like the CCT trial. “They are only out to victimize Saraki for being the only responsible voice in this administration. They know that their allegations cannot withstand legal scrutiny, therefore they want to intimidate, embarrass, arrest and treat him like a common criminal. “But I am rest assured that their present satanic plot against Saraki shall be frustrated by God who has been standing by him in the last three years,” he said. He called on Nigerians to pray for Saraki as he faces this monumental trial once again.
