"I'm not God, but I won't recognize Saraki as Senate President- Bola Tinubu

APC leader Senator Bola Tinubu yesterday June
10th reacted to the emergence of Senator Bukola
Saraki as the new Senate President, saying he
cannot recognize the Kangaroo arrangement that
produced Saraki as the new Senate President.
Speaking at the party secretariat, Tinubu said
"I will never recognize such a kangaroo
arrangement that produced Bukola as the
Senate President. Or how do you want me
to recognise a man who deliberately
defied his own party because of his
personal interest? It is not done
anywhere. Therefore, recognizing Bukola
as the Senate President after all he had
done to our party today, having gone
against the wish and pattern of our great
party, honestly will amount to endorsing
impunity, and which you should all know I
will not.
For me to recognize Senator Bukola as
the Senate President, he must show
remorse for today’s action. He had earlier
promised to defy the party and the deed
has been done. You don’t do that in
politics. Personal interest must not
override that of the party that beget you.
It’s a spoken and silent rule of the game,
which all and sundry must abide with. I’m
not God, but as far as this party is
concerned, I’m a leader and I know what
is good for the party at the appropriate
time. Speaking now is not for the party,
but for myself. I cannot recognize Bukola
as the Senate President.” he said
