Read: President reportedly shuns Saraki, Dogara

According to a report by The Punch, in his efforts to make peace with the Presidency over its distaste on the emergence of his leadership in the Senate, Saraki has sought the help of Sulu-Gambari – an effort expected to yield positive result.

Though the monarchs are yet to meet with the President as a result of his foreign trips in the last few weeks, it’s been alleged that Sulu-Gambari is doing all he can to ensure the leadership of Saraki is accepted by all.

Sources also divulged that the monarch had once sent a team of emissaries to the National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, with a view softening his stand against Saraki’s emergence as the Senate president.

Since the inauguration of the 8th Senate on June 9, 2015, President Buhari has reportedly shunned Senator Saraki whose emergence and that of his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu of the Peoples Democratic Party has been laced with crisis.
