R-APC: Buhari attacks APC spokesperson, Nabena for comment on Saraki

The Kwara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has
warned the party's Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena
to stop his campaign of uninformed comments against the Senate
President, Bukola Saraki.

It cautioned Nabena to stay within the mandate of his new position and
stop making unsavoury comments against the Senate President.

The state arm of the party said this in response to Nabena's claim
that Saraki should declare his stand, following the breakaway of
Reformed-APC from the ruling party.

In a statement by its spokesperson, Sulyman Buhari, the party said
Nabena should first clarify if he was speaking on behalf of APC's
National Working Committee, NWC, or he was "running errand" for some
"faceless and mischievous elements who are his paymasters."

The statement reads, "The Kwara APC has taken note of the immature
display and lack of decorum by one Yekinni Nabena in a statement he
issued today calling the Senate President names.

"Nabena needs to first clarify if he was speaking on behalf of the
National Working Committee of the APC or representing some faceless
and mischievous elements who are his paymasters.

"Instead of embarrassing himself with his meaningless diatribe that
demonstrates his lack of decorum and immaturity for the position he
has accidentally found himself, Nabena should focus on understanding
what his current position entails.

"This is necessary because his preparedness and capacity have
definitely been called into question by his antics. He definitely
cannot use Saraki's name to get cheap popularity and buy relevance.

"At the right time, our leader, the Senate President, who remains one
of the founding fathers of the APC and a deciding factor in our
national politics today, will make his decision known to the whole
world when he is ready.

"As a grassroots politician who believes in carrying everyone along
and works in the best interest of the people at the State and national
levels, Saraki does not owe an unknown factor like Nabena any response
or explanation. Instead, at the right time, I am sure that his
friends, supporters, associates, all Nigerians and the entire world
will know where he stands on issues regarding 2019 elections.

"Saraki that we know does not hide to play his politics. He plays in
the open. Those who feel uncomfortable with his rising profile will
continue to bell-ache for a long time to come. In fact, we enjoy the
way he is making his opponents fret and suffer insomnia by his
silence."
