PDP’s reconciliation moves may offer Saraki a lifeline
Considering his current battles with the All Progressives Congress and
the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Senate President Bukola Saraki may be
offered a way of saving his political career should he end up being
convicted by the Tribunal.
It would be recalled that Saraki is just one of the many other
politicians who defected from the PDP to the APC before the eventual
loss of Federal power by the former ruling party.Saraki is on trial at the CCT for alleged false assets declaration from 13 years ago when he was governor of Kwara state.
Saraki alongside Senator Rabiu Kwankanso, a former governor of Kaduna state are being wooed by the PDP to return to the party following an ongoing restructuring process.
According to Punch Newspapers, a PDP chieftain stated that the party was making moves to reconcile some of the members of the party that defected at some point.
He said the party “made a mistake by dismissing the influence of these politicians. You will recall that Kwankaso came second at the APC presidential primary. Saraki is also very influential. If we had won Kano and Kwara states in the last presidential election, the APC would not have produced the President.”
Speaking more on the reconcilatory moves, another PDP chieftain said “Kwankwaso won two governorship elections on the platform of the PDP and also served as a minister; so, he is a PDP man through and through.”
Further investigations revealed that a Reconciliation Committee of the PDP that would see to the wooing of these former members would soon be inaugurated.
The committee would be chaired by Seriake Dickson, Governor of Bayelsa state. Read more
