All is not well in the All Progressives Congress (APC) due to the emergence of Senator Bukola Saraki as Senate President despite being expressly excluded from contesting by the party.

This trend of events led Senator Remi Tinubu, wife of APC leader, Bola Tinubu, to refuse a handshake from Saraki during her inauguration on Wednesday, June 10, 2015.
Instead of shaking the Senate President like others sworn-in Senators, Mrs Tinubu simply showed Saraki her certificate and walked off.
Meanwhile the Lagos Chapter of the APC, which Mrs Tinubu belongs to, has called for Saraki to be sanctioned for his defiance of the party.
