SARAKI'S RESIGNATION LETTER LEAKED OUT

After consultations with my constituents and like minded citizens of Nigeria , I have decided to step aside . Though I am as yet to be convicted of any crime but to repose the confidence of the people in the Upper Chambers, to ensure accountability and confidence in the lawmaking procedure by legislators and to instill discipline in our future Aspirants , I hereby step aside .



Though I am aware that it is a tough decision for me to take since i know my case with the CCB will open floodgates of trials for 90% public officers who are also guilty of ' False Declaration of assets. It is good for the country as a whole and an opportunity for the younger generations to take up the mantle of leadership since those of us that have held office since 1999 messed up big time.
My resignation should be seen as a call to sacrifice to ensure probity, accountability in the public service. It is a call to ensure people with baggages should never held public office or to be at the helm of affairs in our country.
This is the New Nigeria we all have been looking forward to and i hereby step aside and i expect those members/public officers that have declared ' Anticipatory Declarations/Speculative to follow suit so as to save costs of prosecution.
Thank You all ,Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria ,Long live my people.

THE RISE & FALL OF SARAKI'S POLITICAL HEGEMONY

Since 1979 the people of Kwara state have been caged under the political dynasty of the Sarakis. This enslavement was pioneered by the late Olusola Saraki and carried on by his son, Senator Olubukola Saraki. For those that may not understand, Olusola Saraki was the father of Olubokola Saraki, the embattled President of the Senate. I shall give a run-down on the Saraki Dynasty from 1979 to date.
The Saraki Political Dynasty:
Since creation in 1967 till date, Kwara state has produced a total of SIX Executive Governors. All SIX Governors were/are installed by the Saraki Dynasty. In 1979, Olusola Saraki brought late Adamu Attah as the National Party of Nigeria(NPN) governorship candidate for Kwara state election. Attah was elected, while Saraki was elected Senator and also majority leader of the senate. In 1983 Olusola Saraki had problem with Attah and NPN National leadership, he re-contested the Senatorial election and also shifted base to UPN where he brought Cornelius Adebayo as his candidate. Adebayo and Saraki emerged victorious. Buhari's December 1983 coup cut short Adebayo's 4-years tenure and ushered in long military rule. When IBB 'pretended' to return democracy, Olusola Saraki, a member of SDP brought in another of his pretege Muhammed Lafiaji as his candidate for the December 1991 Governorship election in Kwara state.

Lafiaji won. Lafiaji took power in January 1992 but his tenure was cut short by Abacha coup in November 1993. With the return of democracy in 1999, Olusola Saraki, a member of APP brought another of his protege Muhammed Lawal as his candidate for the governorship election. Lawal was elected and ruled for 4years. He also presented his daughter Gbemisola as the House of Represntative candidate for their district, which she won. However, because Lawal later fell out with Pa Olusola Saraki, coupled with the problem he was having with National ANPP in the build-up of the 2003 poll, Olusola Saraki defected to PDP and brought his Son Bukola Saraki as the governorship candidate of PDP in the 2003 poll. He also presented his daughter Gbemisola Saraki as the party candidate for 2003 Kwara South Senatorial election. Bukola Saraki defeated incumbent Lawal and Gbemisola climbed to the Senate. Olusola 'retained' the positions for his children in the 2007 election. In 2011, Olusola Saraki and his son played a fast one on Kwarans that saw his son replace his sister in the senate, while a new stooge, Abdulfatah Ahmed was installed as the Governor.
BUKOLA CONTINUED THE DYNASTY
The death of Olusola Saraki in 2012 saw the natural inheritance of the Saraki dynasty by Bukola Saraki, who was determined to maintain the dynasty and possibly handover to his own children when they come of age. In 2015 the fraudulent change mantra saw Saraki retaining and advancing the cause of the dynasty. Also note that the Sarakis have always determined who get what from councillor to chairman up to ministerial and board appointments from Kwara state since 1979.
What Did Kwarans Gain From Saraki Dynasty?
The Saraki's practically turned Kwarans to beggars while feeding fat on their common wealth. A tour round Kwara state will reveal acute poverty and suffering of the people. The Sarakis from time to time do prepare 'food' and give to the hungry people that they deliberately impoverished. The people inturn hail them with chant of 'ranka-dede'. The only gain Kwarans get was glorified beggar status and national mockery.
Now That Kwarans Have Woken Up:
For 36years Kwarans have maintained the status of beggars, feeding from whatever drops to the floor of those that cornered their collective wealth. Today, Kwarans in their numbers came out to pelt stones to their oppressors; the Saraki dynasty. With the pelting of stones/satchet water on Saraki, Kwarans have realised and are now saying 'ENOUGH IS ENOUGH'. I wholeheartedly congratulate Kwara people and I assure them that they have the support of Nigerians of good conscience. However, I want to encourage them to keep their PVCs safe because it is the only legitimate tool to kick-out every oppressors and their stooges from position of leadership.
I pray that other Nigerians learn from Kwara people and liberate themselves from the claws of fraudulent establishmet that called themselves 'godfathers'.
Once again CONGRATULATIONS to Kwara people.
May God Bless The people of Kwara state
May God Bless  NIGERIA .

BUHARI IS ON RIGHT TRACK ~ Bamanga Tukur


Abuja , By Chibuzo Ukaibe
— Sep 10, 2015 4:58 pm

Former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Alhaji Bamanga Tukur on Thursday declared that the President Muhammadu Buhari is on track as far as his agenda is concerned.
He however disclosed that if he had remained as PDP chairman, the party would have lost the presidency and other positions.
Tukur, who spoke with newsmen ahead of his 80th birthday ceremony, however decried the influx of ethnicity and religion in the polity noting that it has hampered the growth of the country.
He, however, cautioned Buhari, ahead of his appointment of ministers to appoint those who the job needs and not those who want the job.
When asked about the anti-corruption war and the appointment so far, Tukur said “As far as I am concerned he is going according to his agenda. So you can judge as well as I can judge.”
Making his assessment of Buhari’s
administration in the last 100 days he said “It is not for me to assess. A hundred days became a kind of syndrome. What has been said by Buhari is that he wants to confront corruption, he want to confront insecurity and he wants to confront unemployment and empower, by these he has set the agenda and it is going on.
“So how can you now tell me that you have a land mark to asses NEPA by improvement to know if it is improving. What are you going to use to measure the insecurity? Are they fighting it, are the moving to me they are going the right way he has not deviated from that they said they will do”.
Tukur stated that If he been allowed to remain as chairman of PDP till the 2015 election, the party would have won the election.
He said “Well, when I was there I won elections and in the same vein, if were there also I expect to win the election.”
Reflecting further on his removal as PDP chairman, he said “Well, I thought we were in a system of democracy and my views are such that what I believe in is what I will preach. I want election and people say they want selection. If the majority or the strong people in the PDP did not believe in it then the chioce or the next thing for me to do was to leave.
“It is either I leave or they leave but I did not want them to leave so decided to leave. At that time, people said I am preaching internal democracy instead of imposition. So it will be difficult for me to sit down”
He further noted that zoning within the PDP was never faulted but that the inability of the party to let the people decide on what they want was its undoing.

He however distanced himself from those calling for the sack of PDP’s NWC saying the problem of the party was the loss of the election.
He said “You know to get the solution you have to look at the problem. The problem is that the party did not win election. Therefore the focus should be what should be done what is going
wrong? Is not about sending somebody away For instance if you have malaria, what are the causes of malaria, maybe mosquitoes, then you try to eliminate the mosquitoes from the system so that the malaria can stop.”
He however ruled out any thought of defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC) noting “at 80 what do you want somebody to do. You want to change somebody character at 80? Is it possible? At 80 you remain because you cannot bend unbendable anymore because it will break.”
Speaking on the way forward for the youths, he said while there are plenty opportunities for them in the country, politics of religion ethnicity must be jettisoned. He also advocated mass education as a panacea to the ills facing the country.
He said “Nigeria should try to conquer the basic reason why what I consider we cannot move as a nation. We must remove religion from politics. We must accept ourselves as Nigerians and not see ourselves as being from A or B state, or local government. We must ensure that anything, culture or ethnicity that we cannot change we don’t bring to the table. What you cannot change we must endure. You cannot change yourself from being an Hausa man to Ibo man or an Ibo man to a Yoruba man, or a Yoruba man to an Ijaw man. You can’t. So forget about that, it is not an issue. So don’t bring it on the table. Ethnicity should be removed from our politics. What we must bring into our politics is equity, justice and for us to be our brothers keeper. We can do it. I have told you, God has given you land, water and us, as people that is what He gave to every nation on earth.
“To Educate our people is the key.
What you will do as people is to work together. We can work together and exploit all the opportunities. We are talking about education and they are talking about power. If you educate the people they will know how to get solar to get power, to mine oil to get power. They will know how to do everything to get power including using water.
“But you can’t educate them if you don’t have peace, or if you are divided. You can’t educate them if there is equity and justice in the way of doing things.”
On his happiest and saddest moments he said “as I am sitting here now, healthy, happy and with you. And to thank God because it has been happiness every time. When one lost his child then you can say that is the saddest moment. But my saddest moment is when I lost my mother.”
