Bukola Saraki Slams Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq: ‘You’ve Dragged Kwara To The Gutter’

Ordinarily, my attitude to this insidious move by the incumbent Governor of Kwara State to initiate a case of criminal liability against me in the unfortunate incident of armed robbery which happened in Offa community eight years ago should be to shrug it off and say that we will meet in court since I know I have nothing to do with the incident or any other crime for that matter.

However, I have been inundated with calls from many well-meaning Nigerians who were surprised by this turn of events. Thus, for the benefit of the general public, let me categorically state that I have nothing to do directly or indirectly with any case of armed robbery or any criminal matter, whatsoever. The Offa robbery incident was designed under the Buhari administration with the connivance of some individuals from Kwara State as an instrument of blackmail to seize political power from our group in 2019.

The case was investigated by the police team from the office of the Inspector General of Police. However, following the investigation, in two separate legal advices dated June 22nd, 2018, and August 23rd, 2018, the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) in the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) stated that there was no evidence directly or indirectly linking me to the robbery incident.

The DPP in his first legal advice stated that “For the Senate President and the Kwara State Governor, this office is unable to establish from the evidence in the interim report a nexus between the alleged offence and the suspects”. In a second report, the DPP stated that “With regards to the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, since there is no departure from the earlier findings in the interim report, this office is still unable to establish any prima facie case against him for any offences of criminal conspiracy, armed robbery and culpable homicide”.

Based on the DPP’s advice, four suspects were charged in court by the Kwara State Government. They were convicted at the trial court and the conviction was upheld by the appellate court. The matter is now before the Supreme Court.

Suddenly, the governor woke up after I granted my interview to Channels TV where I commented on the insecurity in the state and thought he could resurrect these baseless charges against his two predecessors. I noticed that in his propaganda plan to circulate his frivolous charges and other skewed documents as paid advertisements in the national newspapers, even before serving the defendants, he intentionally hid the DPP reports and other documents which put a lie to the charade he is perpetuating. These are deliberate efforts to mislead the media and induce them to give purchased publicity to the frame-up.

Therefore, I am under no illusion that this case was a frivolous move and an abuse of court process to embarrass my person. My legal team will definitely meet this governor in court. I believe that Abdulrahman just feels that he could still use this case to harass and defame my person by abusing the judicial process. He had tried to induce the families of the victims to initiate civil litigations against the other respondents and me, but he seemed not to be making progress with that mischievous effort because the families backed out.

I need to remind him that this vicious attack on my reputation because he enjoys the immunity of a governor is a huge joke on him. A sitting governor who is accusing his two immediate predecessors of armed robbery is only making a mockery of the institution. He is only taking the governorship of our dear state to the gutter. This is an example of dirty politics taken too far and too low. He ought to know that nobody at the national or state level is buying his claim. He is the butt of a crude joke. Many of those involved in the plot to blackmail me with the Offa robbery case have since faced the judgments of the law of karma. I do not doubt that this governor will end up the same way.

One would have thought that a governor whose state has lost over 400 lives to banditry between January 2025 and March 2026, with over 100 others kidnapped in the worst cases of insecurity since its creation, would concentrate efforts and focus attention on taming the menace by getting the bandits arrested to face justice. No. He is fixated on filing frivolous and politically motivated charges against his predecessors. This shows the dark mindset of the man who is the governor of Kwara State today. A man who emphasises dirty politics over development and security of lives and properties of the citizenry. He started working on this plot immediately after my interview on Channels TV where I flayed his lack of capacity in tackling the security crisis in the state. He thought this case would erase his record as the governor with the worst cases of insecurity under his watch in the state's history. It is an unenviable record he has sustained by his lack of capacity and ability to tackle serious issues of the state.

This is a mere act of a desperate politician who is losing control in his party and knows that his days in governance are numbered. It is the reason why Nigerians should always take into consideration the level of education of those we elect into office. For a man who never completed secondary school education, it is difficult for him to appreciate the issues involved in any matter. His level of education is definitely affecting his judgment.

Let me however reiterate my unflinching belief and confidence in the ability of the judiciary to give justice at all times and to all categories of persons, no matter who their accusers are and whatever the motivation is. I believe the judiciary will always sort out the chaff from the wheat in the various cases before it. My legal team have been fully briefed and I know this case against me will collapse like a pack of cards.

Saraki came out blazing. The Governor erred by misusing the court for frivolous charges just because of politics.

Kwarans want Otoge and they have experience it. It's the same thing we have experience at the national level.

Apt and you can tell one who's educated and eloquent and the other who is like his counterpart in Edo State

Anything good can never come out of A.P.C...

Na coven party be that.... And a thief only come to steal, to kill and to destroy.

Under Saraki and his stooges as APC propagandists term it, there were no killings and the progress was visible.
Compare it to now, everything is much worse than it was. The Abdulrazak guy is a failure and should have no business with governance as he is clueless.

What is nigeria turning into
Politics is destroying our relattionship as human and making us low jn thinking as a blackman

We sabi play petty politics with people's lives!

lol! see who is talking. Kwara may be in the gutter now, but it was in the pit of hell before Abdulrahman took over. I am never a fan of either of them

I don't like Saraki. His family looted Kwara for decades...

But Abdulrahman's incompetence has made Saraki look like Bill Clinton

Bukola did 1000x what Abdulrahman can dream of.

Sorry o, but I want to ask "Which progress under Saraki are you talking about?"

Allow those who resides in the state and experience both administration to give unbiased assessment before you misinform people on this platform

You guys used politics to destroy Nigeria. A country rich in all you can ever think of in this world but was turned into something else by greedy politicians.

That is a lie.. As a kwaran, Abdulrahman is far better than Saraki and fatal times.. I might hate to av anything to do with the drug Baron in aso rock and his winner takes all kind of politics turning the country to a grave yard but Abdulrahman is the best thing that have happened to Kwara.. He doesn't empower politicians rather go directly to the people.. Development is visible to blind and it's only politicians that are hating on Abdulrahman.. Ordinary citizens is ok with his government.. For the first time time in Ilorin, we don't have thugs running amok in the city and we don't have charlatans running the government and people being scared to move at night and for the first time we see government recruit people on the basis of merit not man no man.. Abdulrahman might not be a saint but he is 500% better than Saraki.. Hopefully kwarans will be wise and vote for someone better than him even if it's 1% better and not go back to the days of the jackals like we did with Jonathan that we from him to Buhari the failure

Things will get better when Nigerians have sense 🤷🏿.

Saraki is right on this one tho...kwara state is gradually becoming the new borno

shu.t d fuq up... That's a blatant lie... Kwara was a state of harmony, there was no fight or whatever. I was there for years under Saraki's tenure

There was no need to use derogatory words. You are actually right about the relative peace during Saraki's time. Not his fan because I saw how they wasted money too. I stayed in one of the guest houses and cars were just parked without being used.

that movement removed Saraki as a senator and senate President eventually. Cos he come back. This of course allowed Buhari rule the way he wanted in his second term

For the past 7yrs this Kwara state governor don't even buy security vans and patrol 🚓 for security in Kwara. Police are still using vans donated during abdulfatie tenure. And he is here shouting about offa robbery. Am from osun, during PDP tenure you will meet like 10 police checkpoint from jimba oja in Ilorin to Erin Ile border with osun, but nowadays you hardly see 3 checkpoint on same route.

Caramia2020:

that movements is all about corruption. The governor has been working since early last year, building bridge and renovating roads all to get APC senete ticket. He did nothing during his first term. Those politicians are so dubious.

Kwara State has one of the worst Governors ever. Crude, ignorant and backward

he is trying to get senete ticket, that is why he is fighting saliu mustache. The man is dubious for the past 7yrs he did nothing. Few traffic light that was working during fatia tenure, has stop working since APC comes into power and they don't care to fix it. Robbery attach happen in ilorin last year at muritala before post office, this is a busy place that is just stone throw to civil defence formation and police A division. The guy do poorly about security.

Which Kwara and which Ilorin are you talking about fa?

Can we say then that democracy as a system of government has failed us in Nigeria? Politicians are accusing each other while terrorism is taking over parts of the country.

No. This is not about Saraki, tell us what Abdulrahman has achieved. What one project has he commissioned since he took over power?

oga, do you stay in Kwara... What has he done apart from all the projects he started last year. Mention any projects he do in his first term. Someone that won't to contest for senete ticket and started doing projects last year you are comparing him with saraki. In terms of security fatie even do better with all the security van he brought for our security men....police are still using operation homany security van brought during fatie tenure.

Lifestone:

am even amused too... Maybe he was blindfolded with all the road construction and beautification that started last year.

Midolian stop lying, you still are a lackey of the demonic party APC. Saraki is not a saint, But deep in your heart you know that his time was much better than now, Just like Nigerians have experienced the so called "change" of APC.
