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.

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.
