It is believed that in spite of Saraki’s public show of defiance, he has started seeking the forgiveness of the aggrieved party leaders he offended on that fateful day, June 9, when he became Senate President, against the will of the APC.
Saraki has reportedly sought sent some of his colleagues to beg Tinubu and they include; Senate Leader Ali Ndume, Senator Kabiru Gaya, Senator Adamu Aliero, Senator Danjuma Goje, and Senator Abdullahi Adamu.
Two officials of the APC revealed to Punch Newspapers that the emissaries had tried to meet with Tinubu three weeks ago and also made another attempt on Thursday, August 20.
The official was quoted to have said: “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.”
Another source from the party, said the last attempt took place during the week when the APC senators, after metting with the President on behalf of Saraki, also tried to get across to Tinubu.
The source said: “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.”
“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.”
