The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State, on Wednesday vowed to stop the “one man era” going on in the state.

Chairman of the party in the state, Bashir Bolarinwa, said this in veiled reference to the strongman of Kwara politics and Senate President, Bukola Saraki, while addressing governorship aspirants and party members.

He said: “Kwara State might not have been so blessed in the choice of its chief executives in the past.

“We are determined to change the situation for the better now.

“That is why we are here: to further deepen our democratic process through engagement, participation and feedback from our respected audience.

“What we are doing today is a total departure from what obtains in the oligarchy system we are trying to stamp out.

“We are presenting to you our array of eminent Kwarans who are seeking to lead us through the ballot in 2019,” Bolarinwa said.

The chairman appealed to the governorship aspirants to use the opportunity to lay out their plans and manifestos to the people.

“Since the people are the ultimate in a participatory democracy like ours, we feel it is right for you to speak to them directly,” Bolarinwa said.

He assured the leadership of the party and members of the determination of his executive to produce a governor that would be accessible and loyal to the people.

“We are gradually closing the page of an era that has deliberately held the state back, an era in which the loyalty of public office holders is to one man rather than to the people.

“We are leaving an era in which one man, just one man, must be served.

“The result of such an undemocratic system is lack of infrastructure, depreciation in living standards, lack of respect for human lives and high handedness in the corridor of power.

“Never again will our state be held down by the whims and caprices of one man.

“The old order, which can only nurture mediocre and bring unpatriotic elements to the corridors of power, must give way to genuinely democratic system,” Bolarinwa said.

Aspirants that took part in the parley were Alhaji Hakeem Lawal, Amb. Yahaya Seriki, Alhaji Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq and Malam Ish’aq Modibbo-Kawu, the Director-General of the National Broadcasting Commission.

Others were Alhaji Lukman Mustapha, Alhaji Moshood Mustapha, Alhaji Dele Belgore (SAN), Prof. Shuaib Oba Abdulraheem, Alhaji Abdullahi Yaman, Alhaji Soliu Mustapha, Alhaji Tajudeen Audu and Alhaji Yakub Gobir.

Hope we will remember all the vows after election has passed

Let them stop the one in Lagos first. Bunch of people whose hypocrisy stinks to the high heavens.

Even if Buhari is the REC chairman, them still can't win Saraki. Those shouting to send Saraki parking are the minority

They should first stop the one man Era in Lagos before replicating it in kwara

Stopping the one man era should cut across board and States, it isn't limited to just Saraki and Kwara state alone.

Keep shut. The one in Lagos is much more better. At least there are laudable achievement to point out to in Lagos. Tell me what kwarans have achieved with the reign of one man in their political space.

First and foremost, are you a kwaran? If no , keep shut. Kwara is my state and I can tell u that APC is taking over come 2019. My greatest happiness in politics is saraki leaving APC for PDP. Saraki only supporters are those that benefit under him directly. Can't wait for 2019 election

Peacemaker5128:
Mr piggy it is my State and Saraki knows already that his political career in Kwara has ended.
Let me englight you that Saraki lost his polling unit in the last local government eletion conducted in the State to opposition party then

An "araoke" too is making noise on NL. Your problem is not Saraki but Alimi who took away your birthright and you could not do anything about it.

The people of kwara should first ask the apc how they have stopped the one man corrupt empire in Lagos.

That is if they are intelligent electorates.

Haaaaaaa see finishing........ This is brutal

They should go and stop one man era in Lagos first before coming to kwara

abeg wetin be"araoke"??

Is there any different between saraki and tinubu?Let them end one man era in lagos first before we can take them seriously

But these ugly useless APC Stalwarts are enjoying the "One Man Show" in Lagos from Bourdillion Street since 1999.

Mumu. There is nothing like Yoruba Muslim/Christian.
I know you guys are in pained because Yorubas are strongly united.


Your attempt to divide us won't succeed. Igbos are the most tribalist tribe and enemy of this nation.

McCoy662:

"Araoke" is a derogatory word used by other Yoruba indigenes to describe the yorubas of Kwara extraction due to their backwardness.


All you Araokes quoting me and denying that Araoke is not a derogatory name for Kwara indigenes by other yorubas, una weldone! I am not bothered by your tantrums.

The word "Nigger" is to a black American what "Araoke" is to a Kwaran.

For the block heads saying Apc should stop that of Lagos,is it the Apc that will stop it or the opposition that will mobilize the people to bring that to fruition?

[quote author=kehinde1588 post=71356771][/quote] Enemies? So tell your slave masters to give them Biafra.

CSTR1005:

A Yoruba man calling someone a pig is like a Nigerian calling an American poor.

Piggery and dirt is in your DNA.

Hahahahahahaha

It is OVER!!!!!

Lolz

Hw abt 1 man era in Lagos. Tinubu

Who then will stop one man era in Lagos state? These two parties ought to keep quiet and look for other means of propaganda. There is nothing ideologically, behaviorally or culturally different between the two parties.

Stop the old wizard of Lagos state and the orc from Edo state
