ACN And CPC Against Naming KWASU After Late Dr Saraki by yetunde01(f): 2:32pm On Jul 10, 2013
**what landmark development did Saraki leadership at the Senate bring to Kwara State for that period? - ACN.
**He was a King maker that made his son governor and senator, daughter senator and other relatives into juicy positions.

The opposition parties include Action Congress of Nigeria and Congress for Progressive Change and the Members of the Afenifere Renewal Group and opposition parties in Kwara State have differed with the state government over the propriety or otherwise of renaming the Kwara State University, after the late politician, Dr. Olusola Saraki.
Speaking at the public hearing by the House Committee on Education and Human Capital Development on 'A law to change the name of Kwara State University and connected purposes," in Ilorin early in the week, the ARG and opposition parties advised against renaming KWASU after Saraki. They argued that doing so would be counter-productive.

A member of the ARG, who represents Kwara Central, Alhaji Baba Bako, on behalf of other ARG members, warned that the House should not be stampeded by the Executive to horridly pass the bill renaming KWASU to Saraki into law.

He also called for transparency in the process.
"Truly, the late Waziri was elected a senator and a senate leader from 1979-1983, what landmark development did his leadership at the Senate bring to Kwara State for that period? There could not have been meaningful development when the senator locked horns with Governor Adamu Atta in a titanic political struggle code named Salake (axe him), which was the first evidence of violence and thuggery in Kwara State politics.

"He made governors and other political office holders. God used him to make governors and there was none of those governors, including his son, that he did not fight," Bako said.
ACN member, Iyiola Akogun, said KWASU should not be re-named after Saraki.

The Re-Elect President Goodluck Jonathan group were shocked at the attitude of the Opposition who makes it a point of duty to criticise or sabotage any project in Nigeria that they did not initiate.
They wondered the height of hypocrisy of ACN, where their National leader, former Gov Tinubu, who made ACN his family affair and the APC, as a conquered territory.

Mr Dare Ojo-Bello, a Director at Mat O'Bell Ltd. said that, "ACN/APC doesn't have to disagree with everything initiated by PDP.
"When Lagos State wanted to build the Ikoyi-Lekki link bridge, late Yar Adua (PDP) offered to pull down a federal government building. He didn't say because the request came from an opposition party, it must be thrown away against its merit".
