Offa And The Senate by Jimsonjaat96(op): 1:41am On Dec 07, 2018
OFFA AND THE SENATE: I PREACH PEACE
The first, one and only Offa indigene to become a Senator was the late Alhaji Thomade. And He was totally removed 8 months after he become a Senator, because the Olushola Saraki (Bukola Saraki's father)'s Dynasty frustrated his Senatorship. Trouble started when Alhaji Thomade spent only 3 months, he got removed by the 6th months. He started arguing/fighting the already-lost war which eventually become evidently lost by the 8 months.
Yes, it's been so long that even some elderly persons have forgotten whether Thomade's Senatorship was 3,6 or 8 months. I was born in May, 1996...I guess it's long before then.
Why the story? It's because the incoming elections, especially the Senatorial election, seems to be used to sow seeds of disunity, discord and hatred among the Offa indigene. Architect Lola Ashiru has been contesting for one post or the other before I myself knew what politics was. For one reason or the other which are now at public knowledge, he never gets voted in.
Saheed Popoola didn't decamp to PDP when others were. Even with the alleged enticing 15 million given to the decampees.
Lola Ashiru has been waiting for years (since early 200s), Saheed Popoola is a proven hand (check his Offa LG Chairmanship records).
I support nobody. I only preach. Offa is known to be a land of peace. Please, let no politics separate us .....
