The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, on Friday admitted that there was crisis within the All Progressives Congress and that the leadership of the party was already addressing it.
He declared this to journalists after emerging from a two-hour closed-door meeting with former President Olusegun Obasanjo in his Abeokuta, Ogun State Hilltop residence on Friday.
Saraki arrived Obasanjo’s residence at 9.10am, in company with Senators Ahmed Yerima, Andy Uba, Tayo Alasoadura and Danjuma Goje.
Others in his entourage were a former National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party and a former governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, and a former acting National Chairman of the PDP, Kawu Baraje.
Emerging from Obasanjo’s inner chamber two hours after, at exactly 11.10am, Saraki admitted that his emergence as Senate President and that of his counterpart at the lower chamber, Yakubu Dogara, caused crisis within the APC.
Saraki also expressed his support for a downward review of the salaries and allowances of legislators to reflect the current economic realities in the country.
Meanwhile, Saraki also promised Nigerians that he would not disappoint them as the President of the 8th Senate.
