Toyin Saraki the wife of the senate president Dr. Bukola Saraki, who is currently under investigation by the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for corruption and money laundering in companies she as interest in, has being granted bail under some sort of industrial rules and regulation which is no longer news.
Analysing all of these issues from a scenic acumen the question is, why is People's Democratic Party PDP Kwara chapter making these allegations against the senate president wife now, There are claims that they submitted this petition some time early these year close to the election period only for it to be filed now after her husband emerges has the senate president, Yes investigations had to take place but why was it filed in such haste after the Sen Ike Ekweremadu's forgery of senate rules case and the standing order of the 8th assembly. Who is card is these to play APC or PDP and the joke is the EFCC and the prize to be won leadership of the senate, with the senate president the pressure ball.
The PDP added, “It will be recalled that our party had sometime 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 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 eight 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.”
It would seem stupid if all of these accusations are only directed to those officials around the Ex-Kwara state govenor and his wife, if none of it are not pointed at the senate president himself but the of course hey can't do that and win due to his immunity claws.
The questions is, Is PDP playing the pressure ball to subdue the Ike Ekweremadu's case or is APC instigating it. And using EFCC that is yet to win a court case verdict with it's corruption allegation spree arrest.... to read more visit hortielaurie..com
