Senator Bukola Saraki is a good man who has been fought on all sides today because he stood up against the tyranny of the All Progressives Congress.

I will start from the genesis.

In 2014, shortly after Buhari emerged as the flag bearer of the emergency coalition, APC, it became public knowledge that Tinubu wanted to impose himself on the party as Buhari's running mate. Calculating that Buhari would probably die in office and he Tinubu would become president, Tinubu wanted to cash in in any impending crisis, one he helped create.

There were many flaws in that calculation, however. For one, a Muslim/Muslim ticket is against the country's position on Federal character. Two, everybody knows who Tinubu is. A terror by day, an owl by night, a monkey by twilight. He is not good for Nigeria, as a Vice president or even as anything.

So Abubakar Bukola Saraki led the fight against Tinubu's VP ambitions. Eventually Tinubu had to bow down to the enormous pressure and nominate one of his puppets, Pastor Yemi Osinbajo, as VP still with the hope of becoming president in 2023.

But ABS's role in this win for the nation made him Tinubu's enemy.

When Bukola Saraki, who together with Atiku denoted more than N5 billion to the Buhari campaign, indicated interest in becoming the President of the Senate, Tinubu barked at Bourdillion and vowed to ensure ABS's ambition never saw the light of the day.

A tug of war ensued.

Tinubu hijacked the APC political apparatus and even wanted to bring Buhari to the mix. But Buhari, knowing how much support Saraki gave him, found it difficult to interfere. A sham primary election was conducted by the APC or Tinubu's faction of the emergency coalition. Saraki lost. Saraki immediately understood that the APC, whose National Leader is his arch rival was out to get him.

Saraki then had no choice but to come back to his friends in the PDP. He was once the Chairman of Nigeria Governors Forum and he still maintained strong bonds with his former colleagues now in the hollowed chamber. A quick agreement was signed. Saraki became Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu became Deputy Senate President, resulting in a bipartisan first for the nation. But the APC viewed this as a coup and vowed to undo it.

But it wasn't only the APC that made a vow. From that day onward Saraki chose to be an objective Senate President, the like of which the nation had never seen and may never see again. Instead of being a rubber stamp Senate president for the presidency like his predecessors, he questioned several of their faulty decisions, openly challenged them to rule by the nation's constitution and rule of law and diplomatically scrutinized them the way a true Senate president should.

This shocked the APC. And because ineptitude is manufactured in the Buhari's kitchen cabinet, it was certain from the onset that this session of the national Assembly will humiliate them. The humiliations did come in more ways than one.

It's because of these humiliations that they (Tinubu and the APC) are out to destroy the Saraki political dynasty and leave behind a good man's neck the tag of a bad man.

And there's no better way to destroy a man than from his own house.

So when I listen to people from Kwara State shouting "O te go", When I hear them say Saraki and his people must go, that Saraki has failed them, that enough is enough. I know it's really not Kwara people speaking. I know these angry voices are coming from a place so far away from Kwara.

Sponsored by billions from Tinubu and the APC, Illorin thugs are hackling our Senate President. "Ole! Ole!" they shout, with no regard for position. "Thief! Thief!" they call him, with no regard for dignity.

When I see Kwara people I see an ignorant lot.
I see a people who do not value what they have (a Senate President can bring appointments, and federal money), the alternative will bring nothing. Like the Israelites, the people of Kwara prefer the sufferings of Egypt to the promises in Canaan.

Look at the development in Kwara, is it not better than any state of it's size, Federal allocation and internally generated revenue? Osun? Kogi? Niger? Look at what Saraki did with the Shonga farms. No credits deserved? Unlike, Tinubu, Saraki doesn't win with thugs. He wins fair. But you chose to believe sponsored publications on Punch more than reality. It's Sad. Lose Saraki. Sell out your heritage to Tinubu and see how you have shot yourselves at your feet.

You still have a chance in the gubernatorial election to right this wrong!

Saraki is a good man and Nigerians love him, only agents of darkness don't.

Under Saraki more legislations have been passed by the national assembly than in any other session of the NASS. The not too young to run bill and electoral reform bill are revolutionary bills that will make our democracy a better, stronger democracy. The legacies of Saraki will out live him.

Saraki is intelligent, articulate and bold. He's been accused, maligned and declared innocent. Sahara Reporters has been deployed against him and he took Sowore to court and won. He has defeated all their gods. It's only a good man that will confront injustice and triumph.

Saraki is a good man. I see light and truth in him. Shouldn't true sons of Kwara see him for who he's? Shouldn't true sons of Kwara stand with him and ensure the tyrants from Eko do not take spoils from Illorin? A good man should not be left at the mercy of evil men.

Saraki is suffering an orchestrated persecution but God will fight his battles.

lalasticlala please do the needful.

Okay..

:A good man that has the characteristic of a rat which are stealing, destruction, etc. Rubbish

Then why is kwara underdeveloped,why does it take towards the end of the year before the budget is passed,pls saraki is no saint,dont come and spread what is not....

An IPOb writer interested in praising saraki and rubbish Tinubu. Bunch of ass licker. Now that saraki is out, why not give him a political post in your region or state.

"he donated more than N5 billon " whereas he continued to suffocate the workers salary in kwara
