Adams Oshiomhole has boasted how he used superior smartness to uproot Bukola Saraki, a man he termed as the smartest political player in the country.

The All Progressives Congress, APC national chairman spoke at the Presidential Villa while fielding questions from correspondents as he recalled the war of words between him and the erstwhile president of the Senate.

At the end of the 2019 General Election, Saraki’s once famed political sagacity in Kwara melted as he lost his Senate seat and his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP lost all positions in the state.

While observing that Saraki was the “smartest political player and seasoned smart guy”, he said: “Remember I was saying that Saraki must be removed, people would say how would I do it? I said okay if he resists removal, then we would uproot. We went to Kwara, we did Oto ge, we uprooted Saraki, and you cannot commend me for this? You know who Saraki is?

“If you are talking of the smartest political player, seasoned smart guy, he is. But for every smartness he has, I have a superior smartness. At the end of the day who won? As a senate president, we uprooted him as senator, we uprooted his nominee for governor, and senators, we put our own.

“Today, he doesn’t have one senator in Kwara, he doesn’t have one House of Representatives in Kwara. Everything in Kwara is APC and you can’t commend me for that? If you don’t, then I will be like the lizard – I will praise myself if you State House Correspondents don’t praise me.”
