BUHARI WILL NEVER ACCEPT SARAKI AS NUMBER 3. THIS IS BECAUSE IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO HIM, YORUBAS ARE SURE TO INHERIT THE PRESIDENCY AS NUMBER 2 AND 3.


THIS IS NOT PART OF BUHARI NORTHERN EMPOWERMENT AGENDA. BUHARI WANT TO ENTHRONE THE NORTH TO BE PERPETUAL PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA.

Saraki is Fulani

I thot u people are the ones quick to remind the rest of us that Saraki is Fulani? ? Confusion break bone

"PMB needs Jesus Christ". Quote me anywhere.

Buhari says; "We are all Nigerians and religion and tribe dont matter?"

Buhari is a hypocrite becos they obviously matter to him.In fact Buhari base all his appointmnet on tribal and religious sentiment.

Story. The OP is suffering from Ethnicismsychopedialism of the brain. Nigeria will remain which ever way. Saraki should go and clear his name whether he is a Yoruba man or Hausa Shikena!!

Naijiant:
Saraki is Fulani

U DEY MIND THIS OP. OP= OLODO PERSON

Let peace reign. Saraki is Senate President and nothing the fulani herdsmen can do about that. Buhari is wasting his time, Nigeria is 4 us all.

Hahahaha... Una no de call Saraki fulani again?

So we all should be Fulani for him to rule us too?

blayz0923:

That is Nigeria for you. If they call him Tribalist, Daura Emir will come to deny.

Buhari is a tribal bigot.

Quote me on this anytime.

Naijiant:

Then why are his 'Fulani' brothers persecuting him?

Do Bukola and Saraki look like Fulani names?

If you claim to be a chimpanzee, does that make you one?

You are just as dull as chukwudi44 and freeglobe.

For me, I am pro-Saraki cos we Yorubas cant afford to lose the Senate Presidency in addition to the Speakership.

Saraki is being witch-hunted because of his Yoruba ethnicity. It's beginning to dawn on the core northerners that Yorubas have stylishly cornered nos 2, 3 and 6 in the order of precedence. It's a pill too bitter for them to swallow. Hence, this.

My only problem with Saraki is his PDP deputy. He must be dislodged at all cost. That's the another source of Saraki's troubles.

This is what a core Fulani man has to say about Saraki. Focus on the bolded:

Three days after his inauguration, President Muhammadu Buhari has not been able to make key appointments due to a crisis of confidence that has pitted him against power blocs in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). This has made the National Coordinator of the Concerned Northern Professional Forum (CNPF), Dr. Mohammed Junaid, to accuse a section of the APC leadership of trying to arm-twist Buhari to make some appointments against his wish. He accused the APC of trying to use zoning to hold Buhari captive, saying resorting to allotting positions on zonal basis is inimical to good governance.

The president, which on Sunday named Managing Director, Sun Newspapers, Mr. Femi Adesina and head of media of his campaign organisation, Mallam Garba Shehu, as spokesmen, is yet to unveil names of Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and Chief of Staff, among others.

But New Telegraph learnt that intense pressure, as well as insistence on certain government positions from intra-party and regional power blocs, might have stalled further announcements of sensitive appointments by Buhari. “There is more to what you think, the president is not keeping the party guessing, rather, a brewing cold war has to be stemmed from getting out of hand”, an insider said yesterday. It was gathered that some powerful Northern power brokers had impressed it on the president to restrict his search for the headship of certain sensitive positions to the region.

The source, a member of the APC Board of Trustees (BoT) caucus, listed some of such positions to that of the SGF, Chief of Staff, National Security Adviser (NSA) and the headship of the Federal Ministry of Finance. He said some young, but powerful confidants of the president had drawn up a list of such positions with the support of certain influential power brokers from the North. “We fear if the president can say no to such persons under the present circumstances,” he added. He said a delegation of some influential Northerners had handed over what he called an ‘A’ list to the president.

“When you say the president as a person is keeping the party guessing, I laugh. In fairness to him, it is not true because we know as a matter of fact that some powerful leaders of the party from the North have insisted on certain key appointments. “Looking at their arguments for such, you will also agree that they might be right to say yes, we need to have these this time around because in whatev-er we do, once precedence has been set, it becomes difficult to fault when successive actions in similar light come to the fore.

“For instance, when today they insist on having the NSA, CBN governor, SGF, COS and even the Minister of Finance, you don’t have to blame them because right from the days of Obasanjo till Jonathan, we have come to realise that these appointments had at one time or the other, resided in a section of the country before. “In fact, there was a time former President Jonathan had his NSA, CoS and Finance Minister all from the South-South. So the issue is not just the president keeping the party leadership guessing, but what is at hand is how we will stem a brewing cold war within us to get out of hand into open confrontation.

“The truth remains that to say no, or simply ignore the demands presented by this group of our colleagues from the North will only be insensitive, that is why we are trying to explore more diplomatic means of concession to one another,” he said. It could not be immediately confirmed if the move by the Forum of Northern States’ Secretaries to Governments to endorse one of their own, the Secretary to Borno State Government, Ambassador Baba Ahmed Jidda, for the position of SGF was in line with the push as disclosed by the party top shot.

The forum, in a letter to Buhari and signed by the Coordinator of the Forum and former SSG of Niger State, Hon. Saidu Ndako Idris Kpaki, said the recommendation was part of their contribution to support the new administration to succeed in its quest to improve the lives of Nigerians. The position of the forum had raised curiosity; especially following reports that a founding leader of the APC, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, was being considered for the job. For the positions of the NSA and CoS, erstwhile Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Abdurrahman Dambazau and Col Hammed Ali, all retired, are the prime candidates likely to get the jobs.

But New Telegraph gathered that on the cards for the positions of Finance Minister is Dr Tanimu Yakubu Kurfi, who was Chief Economic Adviser to the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. But Junaid, who clarified that he was not speaking for the North, said the APC should be blamed for any crisis and delay over appointments by the president. He alleged that with the zoning of offices, the APC was already holding Buhari hostage. He said: “First and foremost, I have never claimed to be speaking for the North; my attitude has always been what is good for the nation.
Having said that, I think the APC is creating a problem for President Buhari by this zoning mantra. “Basically, I think it is because the party allowed crooks and counterproductive elements from the PDP to join its fold and these persons have now brought in this idea of zoning, which I think is very inimical to good governance. “For instance, the position of the SGF is a very sensitive office and it is the engine room of the government; the head of government must be allowed to pick whoever he feels is best suitable for the job.

When former President Obasanjo picked Chief Ufot Ekaette, it was believed that he picked out of merit and not zoning, so the APC should not try to impose any useless zoning on the president. “The same goes for other offices such as the CBN governor, NSA and all that, including the now annoying jostle for the position of the Senate president.

“Nigerians should be wary of those who want to plant seeds of discord that will cause confusion in the early life of this administration because from the way things are going, if care is not taken, leadership of the Senate might be in the hands of the same ethnic group that has grabbed the vice-presidency; that same ethnic group wants to be speaker of the House of Representatives. But I can bet you, it will not be allowed to happen in this country because we know ourselves.” But reacting to the allegation that the APC was holding the president hostage, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said such a statement should be ignored. “Please ignore such statements; it is too early to give prominence to statements that will not help this administration,” he said.

See interview with Olusola Saraki, Bukola's late father.

One is at a loss about your real identity because some people would call you a Fulani while others would describe you as a Yoruba. Some said your mother was from Iseyin and your wife is from Owo in Ondo State. There are even people saying you are half Christian while others argue that you are a devoted Moslem. Who really are you?

My mother was from Iseyin in Oyo State while my father was from Ilorin in Kwara State. My great-great grandfather originated from Mali and I am talking about some 150 to 200 years ago. And they are Fulani and that is where we got our Fulani connection from. My great grandfather settled in Ilorin preaching the religion of Islam. A section of Ilorin came from Gwandu, they were all refreshing and they were religious but my people came there as practicing Muslims from Mali with their “own Quran”.

In fact, the Emir and I used to joke that we had our own Quran and that nobody gave us Quran. My great-grandfather brought our own Quran to Ilorin from Mali to Agbaji where we settled. The Agbaji quarters is about 200 to 300 years old. Over the years, religious piety and devotion have led the prohibition of drumming (in whatever circumstance) in the area. But because of our connection with the Southern people, a lot of the Yoruba are always in Ilorin and so we speak the same language.

But if you look at the Ilorin people, the real Ilorin people like Saraki for example, the culture and their ways share affinity to those of the far Northern Nigeria. That accounts for the difference you observe between us and, particularly, people of the South-West, despite the existence, now, of Yoruba as a common language. I leave people to say whatever they like about me. Some people even say I am from Ogun State and some even say I am from Togo but I know where I am from. Even, not long ago, I had an invitation to join a Malian-Fulani organisation and that I should be its chairman.

This is what a core Fulani man has to say about Saraki. Focus on the bolded:

Ol boy, I don't have time for people that don't want to learn. Hopefully, you can read what Bukola's dad said on their Fulani-ness.

Saraki is involved in a power struggle with Tinubu on one side and 2 other Fulani people on the other. The 2 other Fulani people that want to neutralise Saraki are El-Rufai and Atiku. Both of them want to stop Saraki from building the capacity for running for president in 2019.

Saraki is being witch-hunted because of his Yoruba ethnicity.

Abubakar Olusola Saraki is Fulani. Don't rope Buhari into Saraki's situation, please. When Nuhu Ribadu (a Fulani) was demoted during Yar'Adua's (also a Fulani) tenure, would it have been correct to say Ribadu wasn't Fulani?

Foolish op and his jonathan disease should look for a poisonous snake and let it bite u till death.

Who are you to tell who is a Yoruba or Fulani man or not?

How can someone bearing Olusola, Bukola be Fulani? That is very contrary to common sense.

Didnt you read Dr Junaid Mohammed's press statement? Can you know a Fulani man more than one?

Olusola's father who lived in Ivory coast was a Yoruba man from Ogun state. The thread is here on NL.

Agreed, Bukola's dad played politics with his ancestry. I dont think Bukola has followed the same path.
It has never worked and even now, it's not working because the Fulanis know themselves and cant be scammed by one Yoruba man.
If you claim to be a Briton, does that make you one? No!
Oloye's father lived in Ivory Coast and he was never a Fulani man.

@ VirginFinder: Emir of Illorin (a Fulani) has Kolapo as his name too. I hope you know he is Fulani.
The Fulani's are a very adaptable people that embrace the culture of people around them. Their Fulfulde indigenuous language is reserved as a palace code.

Last point: the name 'Saraki' may also be a corruption of the Hausa word 'Seriki' ('king' in Hausa for all you know).
Also remember: Buhari will not intervene to favor even his brother if that will be an abuse of due process.

Nonsense, whether fulani like it or not Saraki is there to stay. Lobatan!

You guys are funny. When Buhari is running a northern agenda, Saraki is a Northerner and Fulani. Or when you want to accuse Yorubas of losing out, Saraki is a Fulani. When Buhari is "witch-hunting" it's because Saraki all of a sudden is not a fulani. So he's now back to being Yoruba right?

Since wen is Bukola a fulani name. I take it u have never met people from Kwara before? Learn to talk on things you know. ode!

Saraki is being attacked by fellow Fulani why? When have fulani attack fulani in Nigeria?

Pls who's this non-entity and who's talking to you?? Silence is best if you don't know what someone is talking about. Wailers have accused Buhari of running a northern agenda and they always add Saraki to that northern agenda. When people want to claim Yorubas are losing out in the administration, they also try to twist it and say Saraki isn't Yoruba.
