Kwara will Not Bow to Lagos Godfathers, Saraki Insists

Senate President and national leader of Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), Dr. Bukola Saraki, yesterday said there is no way Kwara State would bow to Lagos godfathers who are allegedly planning to annex the state in the forthcoming general election in the country.

He said the political dynasty in the state has remained solid and more united, and that that will not give way to such move during the polls.

Saraki stated this in Fufu, Danialu-Agbabiaka, Tanke wards, all in Ilorin South Local Government Area of the state during the PDP rally held in Ilorin, the state capital.

According to him, “Our political structures are intact and have advanced the needs of the people of the state that no one from Lagos can retrieve from us.

“My people in Kwara State are solidly behind me and have resolved to reject Lagos politicians that are allegedly planning to annex Kwara State for Lagos during the elections.”

The Senate president, who described those behind ‘O to Ge’ movement in All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state as selfish politicians, noted that most of them have benefited immensely from the political dynasty.

“Most of them have occupied positions like special assistants, special advisers, commissioners among others, and they decided to leave here because of their selfish agenda.

“My offence is that I asked them to give others in the political dynasty chance to take their time but I know that the people will show where they are during the polls,” he stated.
