It was not impossible that Saraki’s statement at the rally was a slip of the tongue, as a voice now corrected him to say ‘Atiku’.

The Senate president is fighting to retain his senate seat against the All Progressives Congress challenger, Ibrahim Oloriegbe. Oloriegbe has vowed to retire Saraki from politics.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Bukola Saraki had come under attack again from the Kwara Central senatorial district candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ibrahim Oloriegbe, who vowed to unseat the senator.

Speaking at a press conference in Lagos, Oloriegbe said Saraki should not be allowed to return to the upper legislative chamber due to his lack of Islamic value which the Kwara people were known for.
