The Chairman, All Progressives Congress in
Kwara State, Alhaji Ishola Balogun-Fulani, has raised the alarm that some
people close to the Federal Government are
taking advantage of the ill health
of President Muhammadu Buhari to destabilise the government.
Speaking in Ilorin, the state capital, on
Friday during a media briefing, Balogun-Fulani stated that the CCT ruling
discharging and acquitting Senate President, Bukola Saraki, over false
declaration of assets and other charges, signaled that the Federal Government
had no case against him.
He, however, expressed surprise that the
government decided to appeal the case.
Balogun-Fulani said, “If the Federal
Government should continue this way, one is sorry for the APC. I am calling on the leadership of the party
to let us put our house in order so that there should not be a crack. They
should know that 2019 is around the corner.
“From the beginning of the case against
Senator Bukola Saraki, it was obvious that it was purely a political
persecution and also a grand plan by a section of people close to the Federal
Government and disgruntled elements to destabilise the APC and the
administration of President Muhammadu Buhari. Perhaps, these groups of people
are taking advantage of the ailment of the President.
“We want to urge the Federal Government to put
aside this needless distraction and face the business of governance. There is a
need for cooperation between the three arms of government, especially between
the executive and the National Assembly.
“The leaders of our party need to be reminded
that another general election is less than two years from now and there is
still much to be covered in meeting the needs and aspirations of the masses
that voted them into power.”
