Speaking with journalists after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari and some APC senators in Abuja on Wednesday, the party chairman said the senate president collected a crown that belonged to a family to wear in another.

On Tuesday, Saraki defected from APC to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Oshiomhole said the senate president must return the crown to the house where it belongs, since the APC is still the largest party in the senate.

“Nobody in the APC will be surprised about the development. In fact, they have stayed little bit longer than we thought. Last week, the Kwara state governor said he was leaving but he didn’t say when. So, we are not surprised at all,” he said.
“But these are what I might call temping moments because I had faced similar situations in my state when people were leaving. But the beauty of democracy is that whether big or small, it is one man one vote on election day, no difference between a senator, a president, a journalist and any other person.
“In a sense, we have to accept that once a couple for any reason or the other find that they not compatible, the only honourable thing is to go.”
