Dr. Bukola Saraki, the President of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, in a statement on Sunday, alleged that the Federal Government would have silenced him and forced him to resign if he had skeleton in his cupboard.
Saraki stated this during a campaign rally in Offa Local Government Area of Kwara State.
The senate president, who spoke to community chiefs and supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), further said that his boldness in confronting the federal government was because he had clean hands, otherwise the All Progressives Congress (APC) led government would have dealt with him seriously.
"But for God and the support of the people I would not be standing today. They didn't want to honour our agreement. We all laboured and what they couldn't get in three times they got it and we demanded that they give to Kwara what we deserve," Saraki said.
Muftau Gbadamosi, the traditional ruler of the community, who also spoke at the event, urged his people to vote the PDP, saying that the party has been faithful to his community in the last eight (8) years.
Senate President Saraki was among the political heavyweights who brought the ruling APC to power in 2015.
He however dumped the party and returned back to his former party, PDP, in 2018.
