The crisis rocking the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) seems to be far from coming to end, even the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and some Senators loyal to him have refused to felicitate with the national leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on his 64th birthday.

Saraki and his loyalists within the party were also conspicuously missing at a conference organised in Abuja on Tuesday to honour Tinubu.

The national chairman of APC John Oyegun, were also said to have refused to congratulate the former Lagos state governor, Tinubu, because of the plots to him as the APC national chairman.

As it is a practice for political officeholders to issue a statement congratulating the caliber of Tinubu during a celebration like birthday, the Senate President, unlike the Speaker of House of Representative, Yakubu Dogara, refused to say a word in the media as regard Tinubu’s birthday celebration.

Among the prominent politicians who have issued statement were the President, Speaker Dogara, some governors, including main opposition PDP Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state.

It will be recalled that Tinubu and Bukola Saraki renewed their rivalry when the later had his way to become the Senate President against the wish of his party and the interest of Chief Tinubu.
