Saraki & Tinubu. |
The
National Leader of the All Progressives Party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has
urged the mammoth crowd and party supporters at the Ilorin rally to liberate
Kwara State from the clutches of the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar
Bukola Saraki, in the forthcoming general elections.
Tinubu,
a former Governor of Lagos, made this call on Monday at the APC Presidential
Campaign rally in Ilorin, Kwara State.
The
News Agency of Nigeria reports that the rally was attended by President
Muhammadu Buhari, who led other APC stalwarts, including a former Interim
National Chairman of the party, Chief Bisi Akande; a former Governor of
Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Adamu; the Party National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole,
and others to the gathering.
Tinubu
charged Kwara State people to take advantage of the elections to liberate
themselves from the political slavery in the state.
The
APC chieftain, who delivered most of his address in Yoruba language, alleged:
“It is a long time they have been mismanaging the state’s fund.
“Who
is doing this?
“It
is Bukola Saraki.
“We
are here today to demand for freedom and liberation of the state.
“Today,
we are here for Bukola Saraki.
“We
are no longer his slaves.”
Tinubu
noted that his party had nothing against the Senate president’s father, late
Chief Olusola Saraki.
“We
pray that God shall repose the soul of the late sage, Olusola Saraki, and grant
him Aljanah Firdausi,” he said.
Senator
Gbemisola Saraki, the younger sister to the Senate president and a member of
the APC, was at the rally.
Tinubu
said with the massive turn out of people at the rally and the political
revolution going on in Kwara, the state would be free from oppression.
“I
know this is the celebration of your freedom, this is the celebration of the
fallen of the Berlin wall and the end to oligarchy, the emperor that have
enslaved Kwara,” he said.
Tinubu
educated the people on how to cast their votes appropriately for APC and to
avoid rejected ballots.
Speaking
in same vein, Oshiomhole said the rally was a celebration of the end of
Saraki’s reign, who had held the state by the jugular.
He
said the mammoth crowd at the rally is an affirmation of the “O to Ge”, meaning
“Enough is Enough” slogan across the state.
He
said: “You must vote APC to oust Bukola, who has underdeveloped Kwara and who
controls your governors as a master will control a cook.
“I
cannot wait until Saturday when the referendum to chase out Bukola Saraki will
be carried out.”
