Former Senate President, Dr Abubakar Saraki Hosts A Large Gathering For Iftar by Penaldo(op): 12:59pm On Mar 16, 2025
Former Senate President Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki hosted a large gathering of guests from all walks of life for iftar at his home in Abuja.

Dr. Saraki is unanimously acknowledged by Nigerians as the best President of the Nigeria Senate and the most impactful presiding officer of Nigerian legislature.

Has Saraki refunded money to all the depositors who lost money in his Societe Generale Bank?

Polithiefcians always banking and riding on religion in Nigeria. Saraki is still 100 times better than Akpabio, it's not about anything. It is class. Akpabio look like a gutter man.


P.S: To Wike and his supporters, your disgrace is imminent. I even heard his house is on fire for Rivers State🤣🤣🤣

All this desperate positioning for 2027 will only appeal to fools. And OP you are an idiot. What gives you the impression that Nigerians believe saraki is the best senate president Nigeria has ever had?
Someone that had to sleep in his car at the national assembly grounds and scale the fence early in the morning to the chambers of the senate in desperate pursuit for power is not someone any right thinking Nigerian should consider for the presidency.

Since APC appear, Senate and Senate
presidency has become one big joke and
headed by Charlie Charlies like Lawan
and now worse, Akpabio, the philanderer
and thief... 👎👎


On IQ level, Akpabio should be the
dullest Senate President of all time.

He is not the best Senate President in my view. I'm yet to see that person. Saraki was majorly known for his political scheming.

Like him or not.
He gave the Senate a vibrant leadership. Also he tried his best to assert the independence of the legislature which Nigerians where not used to up to that time. It's for that reason that most Nigerians believe he's the best Senate President ever.

The man never tire to oppress Kwara.
Is this a sign of the failure of APC’s Otogẹ governor to do anything better in six years than PDP’s 16 years in office?

Which of these progressive agenda items has happened in Kwara state since 2019 huh

Babasessy:
The Awolowo rebirth in the Southwest has inspired gongs, songs and rhetoric of sorts. But they have missed one point.

It occurred to me in Abeokuta last week amidst the big crowds and euphoria of the swearing-in of Senator Ibikunle Amosun as governor. In all the states from Lagos to Edo, where Awo has witnessed ideological resurgence, hardly a single family member has played a role.

So we have an Awo family without an Awo. That is an irony. But history overwhelms us with this sort of twist. Obafemi Awolowo toiled for his reputation. His roots were lowly, he toiled to school both home and abroad, launched into careers in law, business, journalism and eventually politics. He carved a niche for himself, and became the first methodical and charismatic leftist in our history.  Other leftists abounded but they did not inspire comparable drama and following.

He faced tribulations, went to jail, failed in elections, won a few, but he imprinted his ideas and legacy in the country, and no single mortal has beaten him in the history of this country. His greatest achievement was in the area of ideas, and that was how he fashioned a family. Most families are born of biology but his issued from ideology. That family suffered with him.

In a spoof of Jesus Christ, these were the men who followed him in his teachings, and endured with him in his temptations. So he formed a kingdom for them in the Southwest, in the old Western Region, presiding over his projects, his legacies and people.

In all of these, the family he had was not his flesh and blood. In another spoof of Christ, who were his family anyway? Those who were with him must be counted as his family. So, I combed in the ambience of Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), and I found none. I went to Ogun, I frisked the crowd under Amosun’s bower, hardly any. Around Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in Osun, I could not lay a finger. With Governor Kayode Fayemi in Ekiti, where are the forbears of Awo? Yet, I can hear the chants of Awo. Hardly in any of the inaugural speeches or any of their other public intervention would you miss the philtre and filter of Awo from these gentlemen. To parody Novelist Joseph Conrad, they are the sparks from Awo’s sacred fire, the messengers of the might within the man.

Already all of them are pursuing the legacy ideas of Awo: free education, free health services, infrastructural development, urban renewal and economic engineering.

Lagos has posted itself as the John the Baptist. The others are putting up valiant efforts, and the world of course is watching to see how well they will perform. It will call for great work, resourcefulness and cooperation. They are the real Awoists, and Awo was a man of rigour and vigour.

The Awo son that many expected to take after the father was Olusegun, who unfortunately died in a car crash. We shall never know if he could have pulled it off.  But the others have not shown much of the paterfamilias’ brio and depth. In the past decade, under this republic, they have blended with the wrong crowd. Even H.I.D, hobnobbed with Alao-Akala, who brought illiteracy to governance; with Oyinlola who turned the grace of office into a hell-hole of despots; with Daniel who could not arrest his quick fall into megalomania.

I wrote once that this woman whom Awo once described as the jewel of inestimable value has lost value to his cause. If he came back to life, he would have committed the extraordinary act of divorce after death. Even his newspaper, The Tribune, has so stumbled and fallen that it swims in Awo’s vomit.

Like Rufai, some politicians are eager to reclaim relevance by any means necessary. Life functions on cycles of time and season, and when your moment arrives, you must tread carefully. You cannot afford to be naive about where life might lead you just moments after your success. Stay vigilant and prepared. life will toss you a few minutes after. Stay humble.

He checkmated APC first term, Buhari gang called him armed robber. His deputy walked himself into a rough side in London; the plantation owners of Nigeria seized the opportunity to throw him into the ditch.
After the first term of Buhari/APC in power, business of official and monetary corruption hit the roof in Nigeria.

If you are not a greater idiot than the OP, then why would you talk about Saraki’s desperate pursuit of power to be senate president in 2015, while failing to mention T-Pain’s Fulani asslicking desperation to get his ebilokan dream to continue APC shege?

Highways:
Where Are The Cows? Is Evans A Herdsman?'


When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.


Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country




Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.


Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.

Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.
