Ahead of the presidential primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC), one of the leaders of the party and senator representing Kwara central senatorial district in the National Assembly, Senator Bukola Saraki, at the weekend hinted that, none of the four presidential aspirants of the party would dump the party for any other party as being expressed in certain quarters.

He said: "These are democrats, who have taken a decision that a victory for any of them is a victory for all because they have not seen the ambition as a do or die affair".

The presidential aspirants of the APC include Kano State Governor, Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso; former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.) former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, and former the Chairman of the Leadership Newspapers, Abuja. Mr. Sam Nda-Isiah.

Speaking with journalists in Ilorin, Kwara State capital, on the state of the nation, Saraki said: "We have had discussions with them and if you talk to any of the four of them, they will tell you that who ever emerges at the primaries will be supported".

According to him, "Tell Nigerians that none of those four presidential aspirants is going any where because we have all come to stay and we have shed those that want to go off."

Saraki who was also a former governor of Kwara State said: "It is clear that what we are fighting for is what Nigerians want. We are not doing what Nigerians don't want. It is only if it is about ambition of the country today. No matter how we want to paint it or gloss over it, if all of us as Nigerians want to be truthful to ourselves, we know that things are not going on well.

"We know that this is not the Nigeria we all dream about. For over so many years, some parts of Nigeria are under siege. Or you see Nigerians becoming refugees in neighbouring countries, is that the Nigeria we dream about? Or is it APC that is causing that? Before, they tried to use religion and ethnicity but both Christians and Muslims towns and villages are being attacked.

"What are we doing? What is being done? I always say to people that it is not about Jonathan, whoever is the president now whether he is a Muslim, Christian, from the North or South and she is running a government like this then the person has to go. If tomorrow the president becomes born-again then it is a different ball game. But we must talk about issues that is on ground for now."

On the Kwara politics ahead of 2015 elections, the former governor said:, "Kwara remains a no go area for opposition party PDP," adding that, "the key issue is that until other actors and actress in PDP or political space are ready to play a consistent politics of being with the people not the selfish reason of when they are seeking election they will be coming home, the people will not accept them".

Saraki said, "Kwara people are wiser than they think, Kwara people appreciate those who are always with them and that is the difference between us and other parties.

"That is why come 2015, APC will win resoundingly. The only time you see the PDP doing anything here is only when the president or his wife is coming to Kwara State to hold rallies. It sums up what Kwara PDP is all about; it is not about people at all. They should go and station their party either in Abuja or Bayelsa because I know well that Kwara people are clever and wiser," he said.

Saraki, who also said that, he has no anointed candidate among those seeking elective positions in the state said: "all the aspirants of the APC in the state will be given a level playing ground during the party's primaries".

The former governor also said his recent victory at the Supreme Court in the last Kwara central senatorial election was a vindication of his testimony that he has the support of the people even as he regretted his inability to reconcile his opposition in the case with Alhaji L.A.K Jimoh before the final judgment.

"It is unfortunate, we tried before then to find ways internally to have prevented the case from getting to the apex court. It is not because we are weak, but part of our own mechanism of carrying everybody along. A lot of people will bear me witness to the series of meetings we attempted to have at that time with the other person to find a way out. The judgment has put the case to rest. Again, it is to tell you that majority of some of those things are propaganda and hype.

"The case was a baseless one and I think that is why the Supreme Court judges in their comments were very tough and hard on the lawyers," he observed.

He particularly noted, 'I think the case was propelled further by the comments of President Goodluck Jonathan, when they went to see him. He then said that very soon the seat would become vacant. Sometimes, the president seems to forget that the executive and judiciary are two different arms of government. The president's comment during the visit of some members of the Kwara State PDP to him gave them the impetus to pursue the case to the Supreme Court."
