Bukola Saraki struggling for relevance; PDP now on Plan C strategy of vote-buying in APC stronghold, Canada Group exposes opposition
“The PDP has realized that the only way they can win the incoming elections in Nigeria is to embark on their “Plan C” strategy of buying voter’s card in APC strong hold states to weaken APC strength in those areas and to save Saraki’s dynasty in Kwara State. As the PDP members realized their Plan A and B strategies of winning 2019 elections have failed.”
Nigeria’s embattled Senate President Bukola Saraki is battling for his political relevance in Nigerian politic and is determined to do anything possible to regain his gradually diminishing political dynasty.
These were the words of Ontario, Canada-based Crusade Against Corruption and Indiscipline Initiative (CACINI) in a message, signed by its President, Mr. Waheed Seriki, sent to The DEFENDER on Tuesday.
The group also said that Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has now realized their incapacity to withstand the political firepower of President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) and has therefore begun to implement its Plan C strategy.
“Bukola Saraki, having realized that he cannot match Alhaji Muhammadu Buhari and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, when it comes to political power and influence in Nigeria, he has been trying to fashion out the strategy he will use to win 2019 election for Alhaji Abubakar Atiku and to regain the control of Kwara State politics.
“Alhaji Saraki is yet to believe and recover from the shock of what happened in the last Osun State governorship and Kwara State House of Representatives by-election result, in which All Progressive Congress proved their supremacy over PDP in Nigerian politics and won those elections.
“The PDP has realized that the only way they can win the incoming elections in Nigeria is to embark on their “Plan C” strategy of buying voter’s card in APC strong hold states to weaken APC strength in those areas and to save Saraki’s dynasty in Kwara State. As the PDP members realized their Plan A and B strategies of winning 2019 elections have failed.
“The PDP have realized their plan A of blackmailing Alhaji Buhari with Fulani herdsmen allegation and religion propaganda will not change Nigerians determination to give Alhaji Muhammadu Buhari their nod for his second term bid in office and the plan B strategy of rigging the next election may be very difficult if not impossible to materialize in 2019 because of adequate preparation and security that will be put in place by INEC and the federal government efforts to ensure there will be nothing less than free and fair election next year.
“The PDP intended to resort to their Plan C new game, of buying voter’s card from the electorates in APC stronghold so as to weaken the party strength and deprive the APC supporters the voting right in 2019.
“Bukola Saraki and his cabals in PDP already concluded the plan of buying voter’s card, most especially in Kwara South, Ekiti, Irepodun, Oke-Ero and Isin constituency of Kwara State and other parts of the federation to checkmate Alhaji Buhari in the next election and reduce the growing influence of anointed candidate of people of Kwara in 2019 governorship election, Alhaji Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of All Progressive Congress. Also, for Saraki to regain is gradually diminishing popularity and influence in the state
“The Senate President Bukola Saraki has been paniciking since the PDP lost the last two election under is leadership, most especially the Kwara state by election to the House of Representative where he was deceived by is artificial popularity that he will win landslide for is candidate
“Alhaji Saraki see the lost of PDP in Osun state governorship election and Kwara state bye election as a disgrace and assault on his political power and domination in Kwara state.
“Saraki see the emergence and acceptance of Alhaji Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq as the new political leader and the anointed governorship candidate in Kwara state as a treat to his dynasty and empire.”
