Reports have it that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the five governors, who in late 2013 defected to the All Progressives Congress from the Peoples Democratic Party had a hand in the victory of Senator Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara.
Saraki, an ex-governor of Kwara State had been elected as the new president of the Senate, while Dogara emerged speaker of the House of Representatives, yesterday, June 9, 2015.
According to This Day report, Atiku and the governors were not comfortable with the national leader of the APC, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his rising touted political wizadry so they decided to work against their party and ‘cut Tinubu to size.’
They were said to have used their influence to make Saraki emerge Senate president, stopping Ahmed Lawan, who is believed to to be Tinubu’s candidate.
