The National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole has taken a swipe at the former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, following his the defeat at the just concluded polls.
The two politicians have been at loggerheads since Saraki went behind the party members to become the Senate President of the 8th Assembly.
At the time, Oshimhole vowed to ensure that the former governor was removed from the post, and despite initial attempts, Saraki remained at the helm of affairs throughout his tenure.
Now, the APC chieftain has stated that his contributions towards Saraki’s defeat in the last election have shown that he was smarter than he is in politics.
Speaking with newsmen after a meeting with President Buhari yesterday, Oshiomhole stated, “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. We went to Kwara, we did OTOGE(Enough is Enough), we uprooted Saraki.
“You know who Saraki is? If you are talking of the 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 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 lizard, I will praise myself if you State House correspondents don’t praise me.”
