Our Petition Led to Toyin Saraki’s Arrest – Kwara PDP

It has become imperative to inform the members of the public that we have every reasons to believe that a petition recently submitted to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kwara state chapter is largely responsible for the invitation and eventual criminal prosecution of the former Kwara First Lady and wife of the Senate President, Mrs. Toyin Saraki.

It will be recalled that our party had sometimes early this year, discreetly submitted a petition to the EFCC detailing how certain individuals in high places under the past administration of Dr. Bukola Saraki had milked the state dry and left the people more impoverished than they met them.

In the said petition, we carefully chronicled how state officials, including former First Lady Toyin Saraki, former Special Adviser to the Governor on MDGs, Mr. Ope Saraki, Personal Assistant (PA) to ex-Governor Bukola Saraki, one Mr. Abdul Adama from Kogi state, a former Commissioner for Information, Mr. Tunji Morounfoye, all working in a ring, got enmeshed in a cesspool of corruption unprecedented in the history of Kwara state or any other state of the federal for that matter!

Although, we believe that the arrest and prosecution of Mrs. Toyin Saraki is long overdue, we nevertheless take solace under the fact that the long arm of the law seems to have finally caught up with her and her cronies. We are particularly delighted that our painstaking efforts at chronicling the monumental heist that defined the 8 years, almost uneventful rule of former Governor Bukola Saraki in Kwara, has not gone unnoticed.

We therefore commend the EFCC for its resourcefulness and painstakingness. We pledge our cooperation with the EFCC and all other relevant anti-graft agencies to ensure that all those who knowingly looted our collective patrimony but now walking the streets of Kwara free with their ill-gotten wealth, do not go unpunished.

We urge the anti-graft agency not to buckle-in to pressure or blackmail that is already being mounted by political jobbers over Mrs. Saraki’s invitation by the EFCC. Instead of sponsoring paid activist-for-hire to stampede the EFCC out of the prosecution, one would have thought that the most moral thing for Toyin Saraki and her handlers to do now is to allow the law to take its cause. Since the duo of Ope Saraki and Tunji Morounfoye are already standing trial for their crimes, one would expect Mrs Saraki too to seize the moment and clear her name, instead of playing to the gallery.

For the avoidance of doubt, we reiterate that the offences Mrs. Saraki is being accused of are criminal in nature and such offences are not known to be statute-barred. Therefore, the fact that it took over five years after Mrs. Saraki left office as Kwara First Lady before she is eventually brought before the law does not matter. What matters is that justice is ultimately served, especially for the sake of the hard-working Kwara civil servants, poor Kwara farmers and the promising children of Kwara who were and are still being subjected to all manners of deprivations as a result of the rapaciousness of a privileged few who could not contain the temptations to stare clear the cookie jar.

Thank you

She has just been arrested o, not found guilty yet! Don't forget it's still Lamrode in Charge. He's still a representative of the old stock we put up for auction on May 29. The "Thunder" that will fire Him is still busy looking for a suitable replacement

I said it that some people are senseless. They said it was Tinubu.

Saraki became senate president in June. This is July. Within that period, Tinubu in their brainless heads wrote a petition to EFCC and Toyin Saraki is already being arrested.

Honestly, many Nigerians have no sense.

If trully it was based on their petition that Mrs Saraki was invited,one must but commend the Kwara PDP.
In this fight against corruption,there can't be blind affiliation to party lines or individuals.

"Reported earlier this year" when Saraki and the rest have already ported to APC. Even at that it's good anyway, someone reported the other

That's still my point.Even if they only reported her after her husband decamped to APC, it shouldn't matter and deserves commendation.
For me o,even if an Allison Madueke reports evidence of corruption against an APC top shot, it doesn't matter.The EFCC should just do its job and overlook the personality,party or circumstances of d reporting and reporter.

this is an interesting development. There is something about petitions some people don't know,and that is,even it was sent some years back to any anti graft agency,no law compels the antigraft agency to start acting upon it the same period it was sent to the antigraft agency.

Kwara PDP shot itself in the leg with that disgraceful primary that led to the emergence of senator Ajibola, who was the most unpopular candidate in that election. Sadly the people of kwara still have to suffer under the Saraki hegemony. All this EFCC cases will go with the wind.

I care not for the Sarakis. They looted Kwarans, the law must take its course.
