trash

this OP as forget about offa incident, kwara state is know for is harmony, saraki is not the one that bring harmony to kwara state.

saraki as sold all the company he meant in 2003.
saraki must go

912:


You have a point. However, most often than not a kingmaker is more powerful than a king. Besides do not forget how saraki became senate president, through the back door. A man who could not face his opponents head on is a conman not a strong man. If he was truly strong as you say he is then the Senate would have resumed plenary a long time ago.

Since the emergence of Nigeria fledgling democracy in 1999, Northern Nigeria has become a permanent flashpoint of violent conflict. As political and ethnic conflict has been a major threat to national unity in Nigeria. Niger, Kaduna, Kano, Bauchi, Borno, Plateau State are notorious as flashpoint states in Nigeria and hotspot for numerous conflicts, since the return of civilian rule in 1999.These intractable conflicts include ethnic, religious, political, sectarian, communal, Settlers-Natives and Pastoralist-Farmers dimensions. Political and ethnic tensions have been a major feature of Nigeria political history. 

Why the unending conflict across Northern Nigeria?

Many observes of Nigeria political history have asked why conflicts keep reoccurring between different communities across the Northern region? it is significant to note the influence of politicization of ethnicity, selective injustice and elite manipulation has made crisis possible across Northern Nigeria. Ethno-political conflicts in Nigeria are fundamentally influenced by bad politics, bad governance and poor conflict management. Therefore its management has become a mirage in spite of series of interventions to put the conflicts to an end. Today, the herdsmen are on rampage across Nigeria and Boko Haram is still holding sway across the North Eastern States. But in all of this crisis and conflict that has engulfed different states across Nigeria, Kwara state has stood out in the way it has maintained peace and harmony with the different ethnic groups living in Kwara. As Nigeria is engulfed in crisis and seeks for leadership that can bridge the ethnic divide and unite Nigeria as one, the time is ripe to adopt the Kwara model of peace and harmony in uniting Nigeria as one.

Kwara State as a model for harmony and national unity.

Since 1999, many Northern States in Nigeria have witnessed endless political and religious killings, today states across the middle belt region is under the constant threat of crisis. This crisis is a result of failure in leadership, where the political class have failed to managed the different ethnic groups and provide the needed leadership. Many of the leaders across the conflict prone state in Northern Nigeria benefit from the crisis and are not willing to embark on actions that will yield peace and harmony across their various states.

Kwara State is known as ‘The State of Harmony’ on account of the peaceful relations that exist among its multicultural and diverse population of about 2.5 million people. Where the major religious communities have good relations with one another. The principal groups residing in Kwara State are the Yoruba, Nupe, Bariba and Fulani. Despite having diverse groups living together, Kwara State has witnessed a purposeful leadership that has done well in solidifying their differences and made sure that Kwara remain in a state of harmony.

The African report in 2010 reported on how a lot of displaced people in the Nigerian North had to move to Kwara State “The Harmony State”, known for its political peace as tens of thousands of Nigerians from troubled regions and other central and northern states have sought shelter in Ilorin and its environs.

Bukola Saraki was the governor of Kwara State from 2003 – 2011. Between this period that he as the governor of Kwara State, many northern states were engulfed in different political and religious conflicts. The last recorded crisis in Kwara happened on the 20th of Dec. 1999 Muslim fundamentalists attacked and destroyed over 14 churches in Ilorin. Properties worth several millions of naira were destroyed and an unspecified casualty reported. It happened under the leadership of Governor Ahmed Lawal and these problems led to his outster.

After the exit of Lawal, came Bukola Saraki the unifier, a leader who understands that you cannot make any meaningful progress or build any key infrastructure without peace and harmony in your state. Under his 8 years as governor of Kwara State, he calmed the nerves and worked with all the tribes to bring equitable justice and peace into the state. There was no recorded political or religious conflict and he managed the state as one. He is a unifier.

After Dr Saraki’s tenure, Kwara recorded the lowest poverty rate for any state in the Nigerian north, and up until today, this record stands 8 years after he left the helm of affairs of the state. Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki’s handling of the intertribal crisis in the North Central despite the volatility of the region is a good benchmark for future Governors and Presidents in Nigeria, his method of bringing everyone to the table to be able to ensure equity has turned Kwara into a peaceful state in between a volatile region.

SolutionMee:

Let's be honest with ourselves, Kwara is one of the most peaceful state in Nigeria. Saraki has my vote on this.

unhappyoga:
I'm a serious fan of Saraki. I strongly believe that he can truly transform Nigeria.

MebereJ:
Saraki is a unifier, and he's the biggest threat to Buhari for 2019. I believe he's up to the task.

SoMiSo:
I'm with this guy.

Heartbender:
In the house of cards anything that gives you an edge over your opponent must be utilised even if it means being perceived as a weaklin. In other news, when did Tinubu become a kingmaker?

symbolofhope:






please don't be with a renowned thief like sarathief
Only a non Kwaran and the remaining few slaves under sarathief dynasty will be with him, sarathief has milked kwara dry, am a kwara citizen, and I know the length and breadth of kwara, nothing to show off, I can go on and on about happenings in kwara from now till tomorrow, sarathief end is near

goodnessme1:
that because fulanis are in charge there.

Fulanis are the most peaceful tribe in nigeria.

Heartbender:
Tinubu is an ex governor...Bukola was a governor and is the current President of Nigeria (not the leader of a mere political party) from the legislative viewpoint and may be the executive president and is still younger than four-eyes but then you like to be a sophisticated slowpoke so ask whatever makes you sleep well...

unhappyoga:
I'm a serious fan of Saraki. I strongly believe that he can truly transform Nigeria.

olaitan9291:


Please, don't ever call Kwara or Kwarans fool in your life.

VictorEkwere:
Atiku is not a threat to APC rather their major threat is Bukola Saraki which he has on several occasion beat them by their games and sometime make them fall into their trap and eat their vomit with their mouth.He has emerge one of the most youngest influential politician which history will for ever ring his name as far as nigeria politics is concern.

theophorus:
Yes ooo.

According to Nigeria "Youths" and 'Lovers' of Nigeria.
Saraki is the Best man for the Job, considering what He did with Kwara.

You can see that Kwara is the Best Performing State, Self-sufficeint and Sustaining.
All the Roads are well tiled.
There are Job opportunities for their Youth.
During His 8-years as Governor, He created Job opportunities.

He is one of the best Senate President.


Me, I just dey laugh,
You people should ensure you vote for Him ooo, Then you will UNDERSTAND.

See as you lean for picture. By the time Saraki becomes President and spends just 2years in power you will just disappear.

Haddock:


It's obviously not a Yoruba name.
Saraki is a watered-down word for Sarki; a Hausa word for king or kings.

Other variant is Sarakuna, meaning Kings.

Ioannes:


See as you lean for picture. By the time Saraki becomes President and spends just 2years in power you will just disappear.

Heartbender:
Oga...Buhari came about by the defection of aggrieved PDP members and their money especially Rivers money vide Amaechi. Leave grammar. It was anyone/thing but GEJ, and no morequote author=912 post=71734684]
Who has been bringing governorship candidates for lagos since he left office. Even the ambode that is currently there, if not for Tinubu how would he have gotten the mandate to be there. Even your current president would have failed woefully in the southwest if not for him. And his influence extends to other south Western states. So keep sentiments aside and note that I'm not saying this because I like him but the truth is the truth
