Senator Bukola Saraki
A former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has stated that he had no form of association with cyber-crime suspect, Ramon Abbas aka Hushpuppi.
Saraki described the report, credited to the All Progressives Congress, which tried to link him to Hushpuppi as irresponsible and cheap politics.
The APC’s statement, signed by its Deputy Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, had demanded the probe of some Peoples Democratic Party leaders, including Saraki, over their alleged romance with Abbas.
However, Saraki rebuffed APC’s claim in a statement titled, “Cyber Criminals: APC ‘s Statement Irresponsible, Says Saraki,” issued on Saturday by his media aide, Yusuph Olaniyonu.
The statement said, “The statement credited to the APC, the ruling party in our country, is one of the ways by which our anti-graft agencies are weakened and why the fight against corruption in the country is often viewed with suspicion by the international community.
“This is because when these cyber-crime suspects were operating freely and openly displaying wealth, the APC saw nothing bad in their activities.
“Also, the party at that time did not deem it necessary to call on the anti-graft agencies to investigate their activities.
“Also, since the arrest of those cybercrime suspects and the subsequent damage to the image and the economy of Nigeria as well as the crisis it created for Nigerians engaged in lawful businesses across the world, the ruling party had been muted (sic).
“The only time the APC deemed it necessary to make a statement was when it thought it should play dirty, cheap and irresponsible politics.
“Dr. Saraki was the only political leader who has publicly made a statement through an Op-Ed article published in the Daily Trust newspaper of July 1, 2020, titled ‘Cyber Criminals: Confronting The Few Who Dent Many.’
“At this point, we call on the APC leadership to rein in the so-called Yekini Nabena and compel him to desist from making and circulating such malicious, odious and offensive claims.”

You irresponsible APC need to stop mentioning Saraki on all this crime that you a major player. This cyber crime expert is a sponsor to one of APC candidates in 2015 election. Kwara bank robbery, you wrongly linked to Saraki. However, the APC are the greatest rubber. How do you expect a cattle rearer, illiterate, the man who did not even have a certificate to be president of the country. PMB claims to win elections by stealing votes, which is a crime. The results of incredible elections are insecurity, banditry, unemployment, killings, bad economic policy, lack of power & infrastructure. He accommodates criminals and riffraff in the Aso rock living on tax payers money, shooting creating disturbances, and engaging in domestic violence.
I can’t wait to have all these nuisance to vacate Aso villa, they are square pegs in round wholes.
Saraki , we saw your best friend Dino meleye and Atiku you super politician pallying arround in Dubai. Why were you not there? Are you saying that your friends and indeed PDP had nothing to do with HUSHIPUPPI?
YOUR HANDS ARE NOT CLEAN.
WE SHALL KNOW MORE WHOSE ACCOUNT HE WAS USING TO BRING MONEY DOWN TO DUBAI AND HOW HE BROUGHT THOSE CASH TO NIGERIA TO ACCOUNT YOU MAY KNOW ABOUT
