The APC should stop dragging the name of Senate President Bukola Saraki into the jostling for the leadership of the 9th Senate, the PDP Caucus in the Senate has said.
The Senate PDP Caucus said Saraki had no interest in who became what in the next Senate, noting that he should be left out of the matter.
In a statement by Senate Minority Leader, Biodun Olujimi and the Chairman of Senate Committee on Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Dino Melaye, the PDP Caucus said it observed that the contenders for the various Senate leadership posts in the APC allegedly sponsored publications in the media to make it appear that Saraki was seeking to play a role in who occupied the various leadership posts in the next Senate.
The PDP Senate caucus warned that such “surreptitious attempts” to drag Saraki into the issue that does not concern him would not augur well for the smooth take-off of the next Senate and could only create suspicion and ill-will among the incumbent senators and those coming in.
