The group’s director, contact and mobilisation, Hon. Yusuf Musa Ardo, who spoke to LEADERSHIP at her corporate headquarters in Abuja, pointed out that though the group is no stranger to the intrigues within the party, considering that it followed the president on his campaign trail, it took exception to the emergence of Saraki as the Senate President, because it was “a total embarrassment to the APC as a party and a disappointment to all who voted the APC into power in the just concluded 2015 general elections.
“Senator Saraki should apologise to Nigerians and his party and step down with his team. That is the path of honour. If he wants be the Senate President, he must follow the constitutional process.
“We don’t have any grudge against Senator Saraki; he is a leader in the APC and Nigerians have respect for him. Everybody knows that Nigerians rejected PDP through the ballot paper and anyone trying to bring back PDP to power through the back door is an enemy to Nigeria’s electorate especially the APC supporters.
“Saraki’s action can best be termed a ‘political robbery’ geared at satisfying his personal interest which cannot be accepted by all Nigerians, especially those who worked hard to make sure that PDP was voted out in the 2015 elections.
“We hereby call on NGOs, CDOs and all other organisations that worked with us during the electioneering campaign to reject in totality what happened in the national assembly on June 8, 2015, particularly in the red chamber, where the mandate of Nigerians have been taken away and given back to PDP that was rejected by majority of Nigerians during the election,” Ardo rallied.
