Minister of Information and Culture Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has said that with the defection of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) can now breath fresh air.
Speaking to news men at the presidential villa, Abuja, Lai Mohammed said that Sarak had all along playing opposition in the leadership of the Senate, working against the APC.
“He (Saraki) has been behaving like an opposition and his action has been slowing down government.”
The minister, who hails from Kwara state, said that APC will continue to grow stronger in the state, saying that on paper or in the minds of people, it would look like losing Saraki was a big deal but in actual fact, the party has lost nothing.
On the dissolution of the state executive of the APC by the Adams Oshiomhole led National Working Committee (NWC), the minister said the continued existence of the state executive was “like having enemies in your midst.”
He said that the people of Kwara state were excited that the true APC are emerging following the defection.
“No one no matter how big cannot make a forest.”
