Saraki Nigeria’s ‘Most Smartest’ Politician – Oshiomhole

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nigeria’s ruling party, Adams Oshiomhole, says Bukola Saraki, the former President of the Nigerian Senate is the “most smartest political player” in Nigeria.

Yaahoo Journalist reports that Oshiomhole made this comment while speaking to State House correspondents after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa on Monday, July 29.

Speaking further, Oshiomhole, who is a former governor of Edo State, however, insisted that he showed more smartness in orchestrating Saraki’s defeat but in the National Assembly as well as his power in Kwara where he was a former governor.

His words: “Remember I was saying that Saraki must be removed, people would say how would I do it? I said okay if he resists removal then we would uproot,” he said.

“We went to Kwara, we did Otoge, we uprooted Saraki and you cannot commend me for this? Do you know who Saraki is? If you are talking of the most smartest political player, seasoned smart guy, he is. But for every smartness he has, I have a superior smartness. At the end of the day who won?

“As a senate president, we uprooted him as a senator, we uprooted his nominee for governor and senators, we put our own. Today, he doesn’t have one senator in Kwara, he doesn’t have one House of Representatives in Kwara. Everything in Kwara is APC and you can’t commend me for that?

“If you don’t, then I will be like the lizard, I will praise myself if you state house correspondents don’t praise me.”
