Tinubu reaction to National Assembly decision

Senator Bola Tinubu was not dumbfounded over Bukola Saraki’s winning of the post of the President of the Senate.


The events at the National Assembly has left the All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders speechless.

As He, with others APC leaders, left the International Conference Centre in Abuja where they were supposed to have a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari, they could not comment on what have happened at the National Assembly.


The Asiwaju of Lagos said that he had not comment nor reaction concerning the issue while leaving venue for the proposed meeting with the President.

 “I have no comment, I have no reaction,” the APC National leadwr said.

APC National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun, added: “We just watched it (on TV) but we will address you when the whole situation has been re-examined.”

Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari was reportedly absent at the meeting scheduled to renew peace among the groups in the leadership struggle of the 8th National Assembly.

The legislators-elect of the APC and some leaders of the party had come together only to get to know that elections were going on at the National Assembly and that Senator Bukola Saraki had become the new Senate President.

Meanwhile, PDP’s Senators were reportedly partying on each others’ backs at the National Assembly, celebrating Bukola Saraki’s emergence as the Senate President.

One of the PDP’s Senators, representing Anambra State, who declined to be identified, told the press that, given the fact that Bukola Saraki and Ike Ekweremadu have just managed to get the top positions at the Senate, the PDP has a strong chance for political resurrection.
