Gbemisola Saraki who has been consistently
speculated to have plans to defect from the PDP to
the APC may have finally declared for APC and
directed all her supporters to vote for Muhammadu
Buhari in the presidential election on Saturday.
Gbemi Saraki who is the first daughter of 2nd
Republic Senate Leader, Olusola Saraki, has been
uncomfortable with PDP in recent times. Her brother,
Bukola Saraki, is the leader of APC in Kwara.
It was gathered that she has addressed her
supporters and asked them to vote for APC's Buhari.
One of her ardent followers who was at the
briefing confirmed to Daily Trust that Senator
Gbemi Saraki was quoted as asking them "to go
out tomorrow (Saturday) with your broom and
sweep your communities clean,"
apparently directing them to vote for APC
presidential candidate, Mohammadu Buhari.
Since the conclusion of the PDP primaries which
produced Senator Simeon Ajibola as the party's flag
bearer, there have been speculations that Gbemi had
severed her membership of PDP following grumbling
of marginalisation emanating from her supporters.
Besides, she had distanced herself from the activities
of PDP in recent times even as there is division in the
state PDP over her membership of the party.
While some are of the opinion that she should be
begged and prevailed upon to remain in PDP, others
insist she should be allowed to exercise her volition.
When contacted, PDP Chairman in the state, Iyiola
Oyedepo said he cannot confirm or deny her move.
He said, "I think so but I cannot confirm it. Somebody
sent me a text message that she said that there may
be dirty things today and she is urging all her
supporters to sweep very clearly tomorrow and that
can be interpreted."
