The Presidency has warned that people should ignore Senate President Bukola Saraki’s ‘Derogatory’ comments as he’s a dangerous man.
This was made known in a statement by Garba Shehu who was speaking to Pro-Buhari groups
Saraki recently defected from APC and moved to the PDP and has announced his intentions to run for Presidency in 2019
Shehu described Saraki as a dangerous man who would do anything to achieve his personal aims. He said this in reaction to statements made by Saraki attacking President Buhari.
The statement read: “The Presidency wishes to react the crude speeches hitting the news from Senator Bukola Saraki who recently joined the Peoples Democratic Party with the sole ambition of running as the president of Nigeria.
“In response to the condemnable and extremely derogatory speeches by the PDP aspirant, we urge all Buhari supporters to display restraint in language and conduct and to always put across their points of view in a decent language.

“Throughout his political career, Senator Saraki has shown that he is a very dangerous person who can go any length to promote his personal interests.
“The language of his campaign is such that cannot be used against a domestic help. Is he just knowing that the president lacked vision?
“This is someone that the Senator had worked with very closely for more than three years. Amazingly, he never said all that he is now saying against him.
Shehu added on Saraki, “Rather, his word for and on the President were always respectful and reassuring. That’s the man he called “My Father,” about him “there is no cause for alarm…a President who is healthy, witty and himself.” What then changed, all of a sudden?
“Is he saying these blatantly false and crude things against the President because he is gunning for the same office? Could it be that he is targeting President Buhari because the party he has just joined does not have any real issues to highlight?
“Be that as it may, our appeal to our supporters is to ignore Saraki and any such politicians bent on lowering the quality of political discourse. Let them drown in their own waters.’’
