Ministerial screening: APC leaders demand end to Saraki's CCT Travail

Well, he's done what they wanted him to do so reprieve  may be coming the way of Senate President Bukola Saraki in respect of  his travails at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT). According to a report by Tribune, some leaders of APC who were impressed with the way he handled the screening and confirmation of all 36 ministers, now want the trial to end. They reportedly met recently to find ways to reconcile Buhari  and Saraki 

 A source in the party told  Sunday Tribune that the party chiefs were impressed that Saraki got the  Senate to clear all the nominees, despite some real bottlenecks laid on  the path of some of them.

“You can see that even in the days  when the PDP had overwhelming majority, it was not always certain of  getting all the ministerial nominees through the Senate. Most times, the  Senate, even with an overwhelming majority of PDP members used to  reject nominees of PDP presidents. But with a slim majority in the  current Senate, the Senate President secured clearance for all our  nominees. This is a good omen,” a leader of the party said.

    The party chiefs also said that in the process of securing confirmation  for all the nominees, Saraki also helped the APC secure its most-needed  unity in the Senate, thus ensuring that the majority secured by the  party was put to good use.

   “It was the unity among APC  senators that ensured the confirmation of Chief Rotimi Amaechi. If the  division had remained, we won’t be able to achieve that, because all the  PDP senators needed was just a few dissenting voices from the APC,”  another source said.

“I have it on good authority that leaders of the party are insisting  that one good turn deserves another and that they will work on Buhari in  the new week to ensure that the party reciprocates the gestures shown  by Saraki. The man has given indication that whatever the APC policies  are, they can rely on the Senate as an ally,” another source stated.
