Members of the Kwara State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are in Abuja to give their support to the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, over his travails at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).

Daily Trust gathered that all the officials of the party in the state travelled to Abuja to show loyalty to the Saraki.
A source close to the party revealed that the officials and other stakeholders were worried over the case, a development that prompted all of them to shelve their official engagements for the trip to Abuja.

Similarly, in Kwara, the home state of the Senate president, some of his supporters have organised prayer sessions for him to be vindicated.
“The warrant against our leader is unjust and I believe some politicians who do not want Saraki in that position are behind everything,” one of his admirers said.

An angry resident said Saraki’s predicament would delay the appointment of commissioners in the state by Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed.
“We knew there will be slow pace of governance in the state since Saraki indicated his interest in becoming the Senate president, but we were relieved when he won the election. However, with this development, everything will stand still in Kwara.”

In his reaction, Chief Rex Olawoye, the public relations officer (PRP) of the Kwara State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), described the CCT stand on Saraki as a very interesting development in Nigeria, saying: “If Saraki is able to bring himself out of the crisis, I will congratulate him. But, as a man from Kwara, I will advise him to resign his appointment as Senate president because a good name is better than silver and gold.

“He should cooperate with his party and leave honourably. Whether we like it or not, history will always remember him because, no matter how short he led the Senate, he is already president of the Senate. The table is set to destroy him politically and he should not allow himself to be destroyed. I will advise him to resign.”

Reacting, Alhaji Abdulhamid Adi, the national president of Ilorin Emirate Descendants Progressive Union (IEDPU), who described Saraki’s case at CCT as a political victimisation, said the anti-corruption fight should not be selective.

I hope they will all join him in prison when he's convicted.

They did d same for tinubu ... Apc, the assembly of looters!

Walking blind.

My people perish because they lack knowledge. The truth can never set these kind of people free.

good fr dem

Saraki has no future in the senate whatever happens next. In fact he has no future in the governance of Nigeria at any level.

And that name is forever tarnished.

Bunch of rogues everywhere. And for those hypocrites organizing prayer for a thief all the name of 10 yards of guinea cloth or ileya ram God will put them all in shame and their prayer will not be accepted Insha Allahu wabi jahi seyidu hujud " PBUH "

rubbish... supporting a criminal....

I can imagine the prayer points

1. God unsteal all the stolen money

2. All the properties he declared before the owner sold them, God help us regularize the document.

3. Let the justice smoke so much weed and not be able to sit.

Africa. Man STEALING and calling God

Blind in corruption. Thieves backing thieves

Ok

Saraki should honourably resign, since he's not wanted right from the start. Why is he making it a do or die affair Why is he trying to be an obstacle to change Why is he embarrassing medical profession Why is he abusing the rule of law Why is he trying to go behind the bars A stitch in time saves nine.

Even if he gets through this, I sure won't vote for saraki to occupy the seat of a mere chairman! His political credibility is battered as feck!

If worship of God were to be made because of men, I would have asked the muslims to dissociate themselves from these clowns. Thank God there are various attribute to be given to disqualify someone from the faith he claims he practice; hypocrite, sycophants,idol worshippers etc . These people are not immune to those attributes. Anyway 'man no be God'!

"Is midolian in abuja too"? Quote me anywhere.

Hmmmm

SARAKI NOTHING WILL STOP YOUR TRIAL I REPEAT NOTHING!! BLOODY CRIMINAL!

hmmm, buhari and apc is setting a dangerous trend

hmmm, buhari and apc is setting a dangerous trend with this issue.

Observers are worried.

You just said it well. I don't just understand the way some people reason at times and that is the major problem we are having in our country. We all know that all these people are thieves but you will still see some people crying foul when they are caught. You won't be surprise that some gullible people will stage a protest this morning for the thief. May God help our nation.
