Worshipers Interrupt Imam’s Prayers For Senator Saraki In Ilorin by MrPeterson(m): 12:49am On Apr 25, 2016
Embattled Senate President, Bukola Saraki, continued to witness a backlash against him, this time during an appearance at a mosque in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, last Friday.
After attending a wedding at the palace of Emir of Ilorin, Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, Mr. Saraki hurried away to attend Jumaat prayers at the Sharia Court Mosque, avoiding the nearby Ilorin Central Mosque where he had beenheckled and stoned in the recent past.

But Mr. Saraki encountered mild embarrassment at the Sharia Court Jumaat Mosque located on Ahmadu Bello Way, a more controlled environment surrounded by administrative offices, including the office of the Secretary to the State security service (sss)
The presiding Imam at the mosque, Justice Salihu Muhammed, who is also the Grand Khadi of Kwara State, startled the worshipers with an announcement that prayers would be slightly delayed because a VIP was being expected. When Mr. Saraki eventually entered the mosqueJustice Salihu Muhammed started to pray for the Senate President to overcome his difficulties, an allusion to his trial before the Code of Conduct Tribunal in Abuja. Spontaneously, many of the worshipers started chanting, “Sahu!” The word meant that they wanted their Imam to enter the spiritual line of praying to Allah. The Imam, who seemed rattled, hurriedly concluded the prayer for Senator Saraki and started the Jumaat prayer.

A source, who was present at the mosque, told SaharaReporters that Mr. Saraki made a quick exit from the mosque once the Friday prayers were finished. Justice Salihu Muhammed started to pray for the Senate President to overcome his difficulties, an allusion to his trial before the Code of Conduct Tribunal in Abuja. Spontaneously, many of the worshipers started chanting, “Sahu!” The word meant that they wanted their Imam to enter the spiritual line of praying to Allah. The Imam, who seemed rattled, hurriedly concluded the prayer for Senator Saraki and started the Jumaat prayer.

Hostility against the Senate President seems to have increased following revelations at the Code of Conduct Tribunal of the huge perks that Mr. Saraki arranged for himself during his two-term tenure as governor and even after leaving the Government House to take up a seat in the state.

Saraki is too greedy, his level of looting is unprecedented in the history of humanity as a state governor.

The level of poverty in his state is alarming, he can only know peace when he return the loots in his custody so that the Primary School teachers and LG workers in Kwara State can be paid their outstanding 10 month salaries.

Imagine the grand central mosque at Ilorin, built with elegance is a no go area for the bastard yet he is still worshipping at the GRA Sharia Court not knowing that he is no longer regarded by the people he once mortgaged their future except for his warp minded "rented crowd" of 20 and 30 alnajiris.....it is crystal clear now that trouble follows this traitor around. No where to HIDE SARAKI RESIGN NOW ABD LIVE!

Are they not the same thieves?
