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.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

mesujamba bye bye

Saraki is wining Tinubu 2:0
He stopped Tinubu from becoming vp by raising alarm over Muslim-Muslim ticket and later beat him again to emerge SP. Let's see how this one will go

Emeka, this is not about tinubu vs saraki as you and saraki have been trying to change narrative.

Stop seeing tinubu in your dreams

It is about saraki vs kwarans


O to ge

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

Poor political student here.

The fight is between Saraki and Kwarans. They want their liberation and they'll get it.

ok, nice way to deceive yourself I thought you lots claim buhari to be vindictive, buhari abides by what his party tells him politically.

Oyegun docility is what won saraki sp and I wait how he gets it again with oshomole now.

Same oshomole that has trumped him in the first head to head election

Lol. How market with oshiomole's impeachment rantings? Is party chairman more powerful than the president?

No part of the north will be allowed into Tinubu dynasty

the days of saraki dominance are numbered
the sarakis always relied on federal might to win election

2019 is the first real litmus test for the sarakis
their stranglehold on kwarans will soon end by God's grace
a free kwara is lurking in the horizon

this is democracy , and all kwarans will vote who ever they want

SARAKI IS A FAILURE ; My humble opinion

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.



My take is all go to election field and slug it out

Asshurbanipal:

says Emeka from abakiliki, how far the rep position supposedly under tinubu hand in same kwara?
