The Political Victory For Yorubaland... / We Never Supported Saraki's Emergence As Senate President:pdp Senators / Saraki’s Emergence Not Illegal – NBA President (2) (3) (4)

Saraki's emergence : Political victory for Kwarans. It is no longer a news nor hush tone talk that Bukola Saraki is the Proedro tis Gerousias of our 8th Republic. An emergence that did not come without replicating the scène of Gulliver at King James Court in the the 1727 allegory; ''Gulliver's Travel'' by Jonathan Swift. This is not a victory for ambitious Saraki per se, but a victory for all Kwarans, just like Gulliver's victory at the Court was for the whole of Lilliput. The last time a son of Kwara climb such position of eminence in our National history was during the relatively short 2nd Republic. The position held then was Senate Leader, something similar to our present Senate President. And one cannot be too quick to mention that the person who occupy that position was Olusola Saraki the father of Bukola Saraki. What a perfect moulding hand of fortune ! Could this fortune be a function of Fate or that of a long time strategic calculation coupled with hardwork ? One cannot be totally certain. One can be certain however, that it is a political victory for Kwarans ! Kwara state by its geographical location, is politically disadvantageous . A situation unhelped by the combination of her citizens. Kwara state is a middlebelt state, who can neither claim fellowship with the North nor claim breathrenship with the West. Kwara state have more than 16 ethnic groups and sub-ethnic compositions, of which non can ultimately claim dominance. If the North want power, they will say ''Kwara is part of us'' . When the power comes, Kwara will be sideline, saying ''you people are not core North'' . Samething goes with the Southwest when they want power. And later, sidelining Kwara by saying ''you people are not core Southwest'' . Wherefore, for Bukola Saraki from the politically insignificant Kwara to have emerge as the 3rd citizen of our 8th Republic, at this time of strigent political competition, it is indeed a worthy victory for the people of Kwara. On hindsight however, as much as one can assert that the emergence of Saraki will better the political lot of Kwarans in our National co-existence, one cannot be so sure when it comes to improving their Economic lot, which of course is more important. 1 Like 1 Share |

Pls just help us beg saraki to release the state treasury now that he has emerged so that abdulfatai can start paying salaries again. 2 months have gone by now and saraki was handing out 50 million for each senator while kwara civil servants were suffering. God dey sha and congrats senate poresident Bukky |

If his 8 years as governor of the state was not a victory for Kwarans, how will his appointment miles away be a victory? Nigerians sheeple really like to deceive themselves. |
