Saraki has grounded Kwara as a State. Unfortunately, there is no Messiah in sight for prompt rescue from his continued exploitation. Opposition in Kwara are not pragmatic, focused and patriotic. Kwara is like a poor orphan. |

Saraki has a long history of patriotism and service to the people. His reign as governor of Kwara state brought unmatched feats and gains to the people. Some of the many achievements are Kwara State University (KWASU) which he established and has not only become the pride of Kwarans but to the nation at large, the University all the past governments (military or democratically elected) could not establish for one of the firstly created states like Kwara. Ilorin International Aviation School; The rehabilitation of Ilorin Airport to international standard and construction of Ilorin Cargo Terminal. The Civic Centre; Sponsored the Community Health Insurance and Kwara Safe Maternity Service; Established Kwara Advanced Ultramodern Diagnosis Centre which is one of the best in Africa rendering a world’s standard service at affordable cost; Provided us with Ganmo Power Generation Plant, hundreds of ordinary power substations and some injection Substations and Water Works Construction; Started and completed the Ilorin-Oshogbo Road, Baruten road, hundreds of road constructions and rehabilitations across all the 16 local governments of the state, particularly, Ilorin and other mega cities of the state. The road from Kwara Police Command A Division to Offa Garage and many other roads were made dual carriage roads and rehabilitated during his first tenure and that of Offa Garage was extended to Ganmo town at the tail end of his second tenure; Sponsored the Kwara Child Rights Act; Every Child Counts programme where many children’s oriented policies were initiated; Voluntary Teaching Services; Kwara Stadium Modernisation, Expansion and Internationalization; Kwara Football Academy (KFA). Established his own football team, Abubakar Bukola Saraki Football Club (ABS FC) which together with its twin team, Kwara United was always among the top clubs in the Nigeria Premier League; Ensured the maintenance of peace, creating an enabling environment for growth and development, enabling haven for several private sector industrialists to promote socio-economic growth of the state; The various estates (Mandate I, II and III, Harmony Estate, Irewolede Phase II, Mandate Estate Omun-Aran etc); Modern Market along Western Reservoir Road, Ilorin. Facilitated the construction of Ilorin Ultramodern Central Mosque through his friends and associates as fund raisers in 2010; Youths’ training and retraining programmes on farming with startup kits and grants in Malete ADP and other parts of the state; The many agricultural NGOs as the best Nigerian Governor in Agriculture; Shonga Farm Holdings as a model farm, owned by GTB, FCMB, UNITY, KEYSTONE & ACCESS Banks + Kwara State Government, without an individual owning a share in the model “individual farming” system. Youths’ involvement in the leadership of the state; Rehabilitation and Modernization of Kwara Office Complexes housing many Ministries in the year 2009 to boost the morale of Civil Servants and enhance productivities; The creation of office of Youths Empowerment Coordinators (YEC); Tourism, Environmental, Women Affairs and other ministries had it big during his tenure. This genius called Abubakar Bukola Saraki is the enigma that has since been at the helm of Nigerian Senate and been making unusual distinctions for the country against all odds. He remains very committed to the progress and prosperity of our beloved nation.

1) His PREVIOUS BIRTHING OF FRESH POLITICAL ELITES. There seems to exist an imaginary political setting that limit the emergence of a common man into the seat of power. This system allows the intra-shifting of powers within the sphere of folks that have been at the helms of power for way too long and have taken them selves as political godfathers thereby prioritizing their own choice of candidate (be it competent or not) leaving an average common man with little or no chances of ever being considered. Saraki birthed this new system in Kwara state and proved to sensible common men that godfatherism is nothing but an agenda designed by selfish politicians to remain relevant politically and an avenue designed by godfather to pick candidates that will open doors of financial rewards ditched out of the government's purse. Ahmed Abdulfatah, Bollaji Abdullahi and many others are parts of the fresh elites built by Saraki. Bolaji Abdullahi once gave insights into his relationship with Saraki, lauding how he took him out of poverty and made him what he is today. Abdullahi also narrated how he was once embarrassed by the head of a prominent family in Ilorin because he was from a poor family, and he stated how Saraki chose to consider his capableness in the stead of the unfair political standards set by many other politicians. A man who believes power shouldn't be limited to the prominent nor should there be continual shifting of power within the same protracted cabals is the man we deserve. 2) HIS POLITICAL IDEOLOGY. Many are quick to say Saraki betrayed his father considering the political dramas that transpired between them.. But then, the cause of the rift and fracas was hardly ever talked about. One wanted to turn power to a family affair whilst another with applaudable ideologies had his state at heart. Many would have sought a wider spread of political relevance by buying the cheap idea of replacing the then Governor of the state with his sister which would have left many wondering if Kwara state politics was some sort of monarchical practices. Bukola expressed dissatisfaction with such move stating how it lacked political rectitude, having to thrust powers between two siblings when there are hundreds of others to pick from. He secondly stated 'how Kwara central has ruled for 12 years whilst other senatorial districts haven't had a chance to. He believes in the balance of power(his core political ideology), he fought for the state's interest while pushing family ties aside. The commoners shouldn't be taken for a fool all in the name of a selfish and personal interest. Little wonder why many celebrated his choice of candidate and Kwara south took over power. A man whose ideology is an embodiment of true democratic practices and a testament to the undying government of the people by the people and for the people and not government of a family by a family and for a family. 3) FAVORABLE GEO-POLITICAL COMBINATION. What this simply means is he stands a higher chance compared to his cohorts while considering a running mate. Picking a running mate from the South East/South is all that he needs to stand out. He is a yoruba man from the North and most definitely a larger percent of the Yorubas would definitely accept him as theirs. And with a running mate from the South East/South he will definitely have very encouraging votes from the two regions and definitely his fellow middle beltans would vote him and a little more vote from the core north. Now if other aspirants are considered say Kwankwaso for instance. If he picks a Yoruba man as his running mate then the Igbos who are hitherto being marginalised would not 'feel-carried-along' and the support will definitely not be massive. If he picks an Igbo man, then the Yorubas would definitely consider being left out and Buhari /Osinbajo will be considered a better alternative and this will not pave way for any massive support. 4) HIS POLITICAL INFLUENCE. Saraki is the only senator who has been able to bring a whole state along with him while defecting. It's not just about the governor of Kwara state but also 23 members of the Kwara state house of assembly. No leader in Nigeria can boast of such influence. This same man also defected with many other senators from his state and other states. .This shows how spread his political influence is. Tambuwal for instance couldn't even deliver 60% of his state talk more of influencing the political systems of other states. 5) HIS POPULARITY. No doubt the major headline of most media outlets has been about Saraki for several months now courtsey of how he rendered the political stance of Tinubu and his cohorts useless starting from his emergence as the Senate president against all odds and to his defection which has been giving the ruling party a run for their power. Being a Senate president has made him a national figure and this has definitely set his popularity on increase more than other candidates, He was also part of the leadership council of the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves an initiative led by the United Nations. Kwankwaso is no doubt very popular up north but little is known about him here in the South. Atiku, Sule Lamido and Tambuwal are the closest while considering national and international recognition just that many other factors won't favour these other guys and most definitely Tambuwal will be better of a Senator. Lamido being a former foreign minister doesn't really mean he is capable of winning a national election. Appointment isn't same as election. 6) HIS SENATORIAL PERFORMANCE He exposed the ‘ corruption scandal’ in the petroleum sector: the fuel subsidy scandal as a member of the 7th Senate. He passed the National Oil Spill and Detection Bill, Response Agency Amendment Bill to make sure oil companies compensate their host communities who suffer the detrimental effects of oil spills. The 8th senate has passed more bills than any previous senate, it has resolved more petitions than all past senates combined, it supported and passed the Not-Too-Young-To-Run bill, opened the NASS budget for public scrutiny; it concluded the Constitution amendment, promoted buy-Nigeria-to-grow-Nigeria and many more under his leadership. 7) HIS TREMENDOUS PAST RECORDS While He was the special assistant to the president on budget and also a member of the economic policy coordination committee, he was able to bring about many economic policies for Nigeria. While he was governor he established Shonga farms programme, initiated reforms to increase agricultural yields and exportations of farm produce in large scales. He completed the first Nigeria independent power project in Kwara state, he re-energized the ganmo power and connected over 3700 communities through installation of 725 transformers and many sub stations. Kwara recorded 90% users of electricity under Saraki and power stability for 18-22 hours a day as against the nation's wrecked power supply. Saraki also achieved remarkable peaks by establishing various health programmes, re-training of medical practitioners, employment of qualified Doctors, building of hospitals and staff quarters. He built Harmony advanced diagnostic center one of the best diagnosis centres in west Africa, he built the first state owned aviation college in Nigeria also developed the Ilorin International Airport Cargo Terminal. He established Kwara state university, upgraded sporting facilities (establishing of Kwara football academy ) and construction of several other roads.. These are just few among many others. None of his cohorts has come any close. Imagine him a president!!. 8.) AGE WISE Amid other favourable factors, his Age is a whole lot to consider. We have had enough of these aged entities robbing us of power. This factor favours Tambuwal(52) and Saraki(55), we can't afford to keep splurging on life support mechanisms for our leaders as though it's their constitutional right. Secondly, considering the youthful factor of Saraki, his previous involvement of fresh elites in Kwara politics and being a huge supporter of 'Not-Too-Young-To-Run Movement' he will definitely involve vibrant and competent youths in the affairs of the nation as against the current set of aged and incompetent coterie appointed under the pretence of change delivery, a charade that has fallen apart. 9) EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS We have had enough of dwindling educational system just because most of our leaders gave/give little consideration to good education. The effect of good educational background can't be side lined, it has a way of re-branding societal reformations, governmental policies, democratic dispensations, political rectitude and executorial success. This current administration is a shadow of all these, You can't give what you don't have (No pun intended) . Saraki established Kwara state university and some other educational institutions. These show how his educational background has affected academic settings of Kwara state under his watch. He built a diagnostic center in Kwara state, the best of its kind in the whole of West Africa. We all know Saraki is a Medical Doctor and this has heightened the medical dispensation of Kwara state. He attended Cheltenham College in the United Kingdom and studied at the London Hospital Medical College of the University of London where he obtained his M.B.B.S. Expect same turn around in our dear nation's medical practices. 10) TRUE NATIONALIST WITH EXAMPLARY RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE Religion is a factor that can't be overemphasized in the politics and polities of Nigeria. Only few leaders have shown remarkable religious tolerance and Saraki is one of the few. His mother Florence Saraki and his wife Toyin Saraki are Christians and this different religious affiliation hasn't come in between them. He also showed he has exemplary religious tolerance by allowing his Muslim daughter to marry a Christian husband. This goes a long way to depict the level of religious tolerance that will be enjoyed under him. Other politicians that are worth mentioning are Atiku, Tinubu and Fashola. Though Atiku has some fallouts in this regard. 11) BEING THE NIGHTMARE OF THE RULING PARTY. This is self explanatory. Ask Oshiomole why he has been having sleepless nights. The fear of Saraki is the beginning of political desperation, little wonder why his opposition has come up with different blackmails to curb is political influence. 12) THE SAINT THAT HE IS Propagandism has been the order of the moment as far as politics is concerned. All thanks to our judiciary system whose conferred authority holds the final say irrespective of the tons of propagandas being channelled out. Alhough the current government has little regards for judicial assertions and lawlessness has eaten deeply into our system, the CCT still discharged and acquitted Saraki as the evidence tabled by the federal government was unreliable and was an embodiment of falsehood. The four witnesses brought against him gave contradictory evidence. After much ado, all the 18 charges of corruption and false asset declaration brought against him were dismissed. 13) TO CHANGE THE WRONG POLITICAL PERCEPTION BELIEVED BY MANY. Middle beltans have been knocked out of the democratic settings of the nation except just been considered fit for only the Senate presidential seat and other lower seats. The seat of the president and vice president is just not meant for them as it has been normalized and has been generally accepted to be constitutional even though no part of the constitution states such. Saraki stands to change history and to redeem middle beltan's sense of belonging. They can also be president outside the military settings.. 14) Nigeria with her obstinacy needs a smart and active leader like Saraki and not sluggish and inactive leaders 15) Copyright: Oguntoye Syto Taiwo @Coward_ice |

Don't you know that, one has to go through some series of screening by the party and INEC before one qualifies to contest. After the emergence of Buhari as President in 2015, don't you know that, PDP have been looking for loopholes they can use to legally remove PMB from office. If he didn't present his certificate as you claimed , that would've been an advantage for PDP to unseat PMB through the Courts.
