Senate President, Bukola Saraki has allegedly reached out to Bola Tinubu, National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC for forgiveness.
PUNCH reports that Saraki of recent, had made strenuous efforts to meet and appeal to Tinubu to sheathe his sword. The senate president sent loyalists to meet with Tinubu.
2 APC leaders who spoke anonymously shed light on Saraki’s last two attempts to reach out to Tinubu. They said that one attempt occurred three weeks ago while the other took place on Thursday in Abuja.
''Three weeks ago he tried to get across to Tinubu through one of his aides. Of course, the aide couldn’t have arranged the meeting. Tinubu’s disposition to the matter is well known,” the source said.
Another source said the last attempt took place during the week when the APC senators, who met with the President at the behest of Saraki, also tried to get across to Tinubu.
''It is a surprise that he is reaching out to Tinubu. Saraki has no respect for Tinubu. He is contemptuous of him. During meetings he refers to him contemptuously as “Bola”. In fact there was a time that Tinubu wanted to explain a point to him and he shut him up,” the source said.
''Tinubu’s take is that the senate should toe the party line. It is not a personal problem at all. If it were a personal problem, the President won’t be reacting the same way'', the source added.
