Enough Is Enough: Kwarans Revolts Against The Saraki Empire By Rasheed Bamidele by danduke85: 1:42pm On Jan 09, 2019 |
By Rasheed Bamidele There is a political movement currently sweeping across Kwara State. It is a movement that captures the struggle of a people, who for years have been subjugated by one family. “O TE GE!” loosely translates to “Enough is Enough’. For years, the people of Kwara State have seen their collective patrimony turned into a personal empire by the Saraki’s. Starting with the patriarch of the family, Oloye Olusola Saraki, the family has smartly aligned with successive governments to ensure that Kwarans were ruled by either a member of the immediate family or their protégé. At one point, the two older children of Oloye Saraki occupied both the Governorship and Senate seat of the State among other position held by other members of the family. That the end is in sight for this great injustice is evident. The recently held Ekiti/Irepodun/Isin/Oke-Ero Federal Constituency by-election held across the four councils in Kwara State demonstrated this. The massive crowd that graced rallies of the opposition party throughout the campaign sent a clear message that the people have had enough of the old order. This was not lost on the head of the Saraki empire and President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki. Having become so desperate and scared, Saraki personally pledged to pay off the debt owed to a certain category of the State workers in an attempt to buy the votes of a people long neglected. One wonders if the workers have become an extension of Saraki’s domestic staff that he would now want to pay their salary. But most importantly, it highlights the failure of the State governor, Abulfatah Ahmed, a man handpicked by Saraki despite his late fathers’ antagonism to the choice. Indeed, this is the best time for Kwarans to liberate themselves from the shackles of oppression by this family. That Saraki himself has by his statement acknowledged the failure of his stooge is further reason why the people are crying ‘O te ge’. Indeed enough is enough, and the people of Kwara cannot wait to have a leader chosen by them emerge in 2019. There is also the relief that their children can now boldly aspire to electable positions in the State without having to bow down to a self-made god of Kwara.

zlantanfan:It's clearly Tinubu vs saraki. Lasy time Tinubu tried to put his stooge in North centtal (kogi) the North chased him out. This may not be different. Buhari will willingly tell INEC to rig for PDP in guber election than have a northern state fall imto Tinubu empire. National assembly debacle that produced saraki should have thought you some lessons. Similar thing will also happen in 2023 1 Like |

Asshurbanipal:no body expected anybody to remove any sitting official at federal level. The chaos and all the setback isn't worth it, i never believed it at first same way buhari talk of impeachment didn't even reach floor after much noise.
