Saraki dimisses claims Tinubu betrayed him

Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has dismissed claims that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu betrayed him during the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

Saraki made the clarification while speaking on Politics Today, on Channels Television, monitored by DAILY POST.

Reacting to questions on whether Tinubu played a role in the political and legal challenges he faced while serving as Senate President, Saraki said it would be unfair to blame the current president.

According to him, Tinubu did not have the level of influence many people believed he had within Buhari’s government and was not involved in decisions surrounding the trials he faced at the time.

“That’s not fair on President Tinubu. During former President Buhari’s administration, Tinubu didn’t have the say that they claimed he had,” Saraki said.

He explained that the decisions that led to his prosecution at the Code of Conduct Tribunal and the investigations linked to the Offa robbery incident were not influenced by Tinubu.

Saraki added that while he served as Senate President, he prioritised what he believed was in the best interest of the country, even though those actions later led to political persecution.

“I was doing what I felt was in the interest of the country as the President of the Senate, and for doing those things I was then persecuted,” he said.

He further stressed that Tinubu was not among those who initiated or implemented the actions that resulted in the Code of Conduct Bureau trial or other allegations brought against him during that period.

IVD’s late wife’s spirit at work – Sarah Martins mocks Blessing CEO

Nollywood actress, Sarian Martins, has claimed that the spirit of the late IVD’s wife, Bimbo Ogbonna is responsible for Blessing CEO’s illness.

Martins made this claim while commenting on Blessing CEO’s alleged battle with stage 4 breast cancer.

DAILY POST reports that Blessing CEO, a popular self-acclaimed relationship expert, on Wednesday solicited financial assistance from the public for chemotherapy treatment.

Reacting to the controversial claim by Blessing CEO, the actress blasted her for speaking against late Bimbo who died from injury sustained from a fire outbreak that happened during a violent incident with IVD at their Lagos residence.

While applauding the Bimbo’s spirit, Sarian urged her to make sure she kills everyone involved in her death.

Speaking in a post on her Instagram page on Thursday, the actress said “What a day to be alive. Dear Bimbo, I see what you did there, keep it up Kpai them all. Either through cancer or whatever means!

“They bragged and mocked your death, now it’s time to experience what pain feels like. Blessing no be for here u go jogodo! You mocked the death of a woman that did nothing to you and still went ahead to flaunt her husband after personalizing him! God neither sleeps nor slumbers. His timing is always perfect. No be only cancer you go face o, craze go later join. Agba amu”, she wrote.

DAILY POST recalls that Blessing, who claimed to be IVD’s official relationship therapist, took sides with him in 2022 when he was accused of having a hand in his wife’s death.

However a few months after Bimbo’s death, Blessing announced her relationship with IVD, and the duo tied the knot traditionally in 2025.
