Your political and life trajectory a la Savannah Bank, Heritage Bank and how you treated your Dad and bank depositors does not suggest that Podium as befitting the character you are.

Change your mindset. It not healthy for you

nairalanda1:
Russia has Putin because Russia as a country has been run by autocrats for most of its history.

Any attempt to run a democracy there always ends in anarchy. Kerensky and Yeltsin come to mind.

Democracy is a process. And you have to convince most of the people that it is in their benefit. For a country that was run by maximum leaders for most of its centuries of existing, that's a hard ask

Even the UK took centuries to go from autocracy to democracy.

Rwanda is the same thing. People are scared of a return to genocide , so they accept a strongman.

In other words fear of anarchy as a result of change is why people prefer strongman rule

SO sit tight leadership isnt the problem but sit tight leaders

In actual fact the structure of akpabio and okpebholo and others will encourage him

Sit-tight Presidents in Africa are able to pull the magic wand because of the fragility of institutions, but basically, it's also because there are very powerful individuals (King makers) behind the president, who want a continuity in governance for their selfish and heartless gain. These guys rally behind to ensure that the president continues in office, so far there is steady flow of resources into their pockets. The president is merely a figure head. The actual leadership is provided by these so-called powerful political team of "Bandits" that hold grip to the national affairs.

All of una cause am.
Ya humongous pay is headache to Nigerians not to talk of free flow corruption

But cameroonians and Ivorians are not complaining while Nigerians are complaining most.🤔

tunapawizzy:
Dear Saraki, Well its people like your father that nurtured such negative practices. And you are also a notable beneficiary of that weak democratic institution
Saraki should not poo where he has eaten all his life

You don't know the man saraki... If u do, u will not spew this trash

Akun
Abora
Odogbo
Parapuru
Obi
Etc
Patronize me today

as senate president what what law was made under his leadership to avoid that in nigeria

See who dey





TALK

For those calling out Saraki’s father, I think sit-tight is allowed at local or state level but not at national level. Some states in US and some European cities have been dominated by one party/clique for hundreds of years while some members of parliament have sat for 40/50 years.

So whether Tinubu in Lagos or Saraki in Kwara, there’s nothing wrong with a political clique controlling a city or a state but not a country.

I am not spewing trash, stating facts and if your mind turns it into trash, thats not on me, blame your head for acting like a landfiill
The only thing worse than being a slave is being a slave without an analytical mind. Whatever Saraki built is on the back of his father's active participation in the weakening of democratic institutions in Nigeria. Bukola only harvested from a field his father poisoned and you clap for him as though that is greatness.

Simply tell me why saraki and his sister are sworn enemies..?

If u know this, then u know the man saraki

Please educate bigpicture001, even Bukola Saraki go dey open mouth they criticize em papa contemporaries.

You mean the same Saraki that ended the system by refusing to handover' his sister!

bennybuhari:
How is Saraki himself different? A family that enslaved Kwarans for donkey years

SpaceX:

Just like Obasanjo abi?

RillJ:

Instead he chose to hand over to his puppet from Societe General Bank?

The same thing he is doing now. Finding his voice and antagonizing the same system he has benefitted from when the sytem no longer serves him the way he wants. Principles don’t mean much when they only appear after the feast is over.
Between him and his sister, He felt handing over the kwara political machinery to Gbemi was unhealthy and bad, after he had benefitted from the same political machinery that was handed over to him by their father 8 years earlier
Its the same pattern with him, finding his voice to criticize the weakening of the democratic system by the people in power. When the same dysfuctional sytem was serving his ambitions, he was conveniently silent. How come he never finds his voice until he is no longer at the table

alphaconde:
What of russia? or Rwanda

What would you say ?

A people of a country is as good as the person who leads them

You forgot to add China.
Xi Jiping amended the Chinese Constitution so he can rule multiple terms till he is tired. But he has lifted over 800m Chinese from Poverty.

But Paul Biya is too old sha, if it was Russia or China the ruling party won't have agreed for another term.

Mere commissioner.

nairalanda1:
No, it's because people don't like playing opposition politics . It disconnects you from the sharing money system most African countries run

Also those who do play opposition politics are too too divided . Biya has won in part because opposition candidate are more than one

Plus people tend to not support the guy or gal who goes into opposition,. See Wade of Senegal who spent 30 years of his life alone in opposition. E no easy

Nigeria has not had a Biya because the ruling class is divided.

Nigeria may not have a Biya at least in the near future even with a strong and united elites because of the tribal differences. The North and South dichotomy in a way is a blessing in disguise.
Assuming all the governors and senators including local government Chairmen all decide to join APC, and Tinubu decide to go a 3rd term in office, thereby taking the turn of the North, this will never fly, the system will trigger massive unrest and possible civil war.
As at now even a sit tight Northern President will not last with the present system.
So Nigeria 🇳🇬 will not have a sit tight President.

That Saraki sister wanted to become Governor and he kicked against it, doesn't make him a better person.
The real question to ask yourself is what infrastructural developmental change that Saraki brought to Kwara State given his exposure and number of years he enjoyed power and state resources!!!!!!

Is he any different from that 92 year old man?

What was saraki reason to kick against his sister .?

Do u remember even his father fought him to allow this governorship become a family inheritance ND he refused .?

Know ur fact and dnt pour the baby away with the bath water.. on that ground of sit tight family tradition emperor behavior u can't have a stain on saraki ..

So he knew what he was saying at that conference....

U are the one who is overzealous to comment even without thinking about who u are condemning.... It's okay to b tinubu's guy and fight for everything he believes... U see saraki... U is not a sit tight leader or a homogeneous leader or nepotic or party man or tribalistic...

Call him anything else mr

It's happening in US.

I can't be sweet talked or cajoled into believing the unbelievable.

Even PO agrees on certain things that Tinubu does and that doesn't still make PO a Tinubu guy.

Your late dad! Saraki did the same, we knw how rule Ilorin, with his family, on post

He's not a serious person 🙄 all poLIEticians in the world are bird of a feather, if Nigeria has this unlimited tenure I've no DOUBT OBJ would still be president

Nigeria doesn't not have elites that are united behind one man. We have several power blocs that are organized on ethnic and religious lines. Someone spending too much time on seat will trigger unrest among other tribal power blocs
