Is Saraki’s father’s curse truly the reason behind his current political misfortune?April 17, 2016 3:56 pm“Bukola you made me cry today after all I did for you as a son that I love so much you will be disgraced out of this game of politics except if am not your father”. …Olusola Saraki, after bing hand twisted by his Son from the Godfather of Kwara politics.From Left to Right: Olusola Saraki, Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed, and Senator Bukola SarakiSaraki’s political dynasty in Kwara:The Saraki’s Dynasty is a political dynasty which had it origin in Ilorin, Kwara state and Dr. Abubakar Olusola Saraki is the founder. Olusola Saraki first ventured into politics in 1964, contestedelection for parliamentary election for Ilorin as an independent candidate, but lost. 14 years after he lost his first election, Saraki returned back to politics in 1977 when he was elected as a member of constituent Assembly that produced the 1979 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.In establishing what is today known as the Saraki’s dynasty,Olusola Saraki after himself, supported Alhaji Adamu Atta who came from the minority ethnic group in hisbid to become the first civilian Governor in kwara state in 1979,the support he provided paid off as Atta emerges Governor.In 1983, Cornelius Olatunji Adebayo through Olusola Saraki’s support became the second civiliangovernor of the state.Saraki nominated Saba lafiaji in 1992 and he won the governorship under General Ibrahim Babangida’s regime, before the taken over by General Sani Abacha in 1993.Also, Upon returning to civilian rule in 1999 after the demise of General Sani Abacha, Saraki annointed Late Admiral Mohammed Alabi Lawal who became the governor under the platform of APP where Saraki was a member of the Board of Trustee. Having went on loggerhead with Lawal,Saraki decamped from ANPP to PDP and nominated his biological son Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki to become the Governor in 2003,Saraki’s son emerges against the incumbent Governor.Transition in PowerIn 2011, things fell apart between father and son, asboth has divergent interest on who is to lead state in that year’s governorship election.The senior Saraki lead his daughter, Gbemi Sarakito depart the PDP to a new platform (ACPN) with no structure to contest for thegovernorship position, while his son anointed his own candidate and remain at the PDP. At the conclusion of the election, Alh Abdulfatah Ahmed emerged as executive Governor, which shows the end of the Olusola Saraki’s era, thereby placing Bukola Saraki as the new determinant factor in thekwara polity.The outcome of the new political regime did not go down well with the senior Saraki, and was reported to have placed curse on his son who is the current Senate President. Senator Bukola Saraki is currently battling heavily to save his face at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).Bukola Saraki is being tried by the CCT for false declaration of asset, in forms he filed before the Code of Conduct Bureau while he was governor ofKwara state.Will this supposed cursed placed on the Senator Bukola Saraki, by his father ends the long reign of Saraki’s dynasty in kwara state? Time will tell.....ijebaba...lalasticalala

He didn't allow his father to hand over to him before he usurped the political leadership of the state .And also he refused to submit to political arrangement of APC instead he teamed up with the opposition to hijacked the leadership of the senate .
A man that is so desperate for power who disgraced his father out politics can do anything for power.

What a fearful thing for anyone to be cursed by his father or mother. May that not be our lot in Jesus name.

The curse has been fulfilled!
