Yahaya Bello Vs EFCC: Saraki Has Left The Bed Unstained, Abdulrahman May Be Stained When It’s His Time To Be Laid On Bed
By Ayuba Musbau Kawu, Arc
I read through a piece written by one self acclaimed political analyst, Abdullahi, who is, evidently, hired by the misruling APC Government led by His Excellency, Mal. Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, to fight the fight his media house has obviously failed to fight using our very scarce Taxi players’ money.
That piece tried but failed to liking ex-Governor Abubakar Bukola Saraki’s glorious reign that earned him the prestigious title as “an architect of modern Kwara” to that of inglorious reign of ex-Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State that earned Kogi State a “national disgrace” title.
The only thing both have in common is “ex-Governor”. Just like them, the current Governor of Kwara State, His Excellency, Mal. Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, is going to join them one day as an ex-Governor. It’s then He, Mal. Abdulrazaq, will also be invited to “bed” just like Dr Saraki had been invited and left unstained and like Bello is being invited now who, instead of going the honourable way by answering the invitation like Dr. Saraki did, is running helter skelter obviously because of many skeletons in his cupboard example which is the inhumane advance payment of his children’s schools from Kogi State’s purse as alleged.
Since the unfortunate case of ex-Governor Bello who is currently being shielded by the stooge he forced on good people of Kogi State, many people are beginning to warn good people of Kwara State of similar unfortunate experience if Mal. Abdulrazaq is also allowed to install any of his stooges, especially the incompetent Danladi-Salihu Yakubu who continues to render our beloved KWHA impotent, docile and powerless, as plans to do so are currently being orchestrated by him and his machineries.
Of course, this is not going well with Mal. Abdulrazaq led Government, they are bittered that some people are beginning to sensitize good people of Kwara State of the impending dangers ahead if an Ododo is allowed to be forced on Kwarans. As a result, their usual target, Dr Saraki, is now being used as cover up and distraction from people noticing and receiving the warning of some well meaning Kwarans.
Fortunately, unlike pre-2019 elections where many lies were said by the now infamous Otoge movement and received totally by many unsuspecting and innocent Kwarans, Kwarans are now well informed and they are now filtering every information before consumption.
Just like Governor AbdulRazaq is currently doing, ex-Governor Bello ran a sole administrator where he oversaw everything. Typical example is how Mal. Abdulrazaq is refusing to conduct local Governments election for the unprecedented record of almost 5 years. His Government is now shamelessly priding in and displaying local government’s standard as state government’s projects.
Just like Bello did in Kogi State, Mal. Abdulrazaq is currently tormenting opposing voices even within the same APC party where many had been and still being locked up for assessing and criticizing him and his government.
Just like Bello, Mal. Abdulrazaq is a wasteful administrator as evident in the ways many of his projects are being handled such as the poorly constructed Tanke/Tunde Idiagbon Flyover and Adeta-Pakata drainage among others.
Just like Bello, Mal. Abdulrazaq as no regard for our traditional rulers. Prior to 2023, many of them were threatened and commanded to deliver their communities for APC and induced with money meant for development to do so. They are now nothing but his political errand hands. He’s now developed into daring them to do their worst for asking for what used to come to them for their respective stools’ upkeep.
Just like Bello, Mal. Abdulrazaq is now receiving unprecedented funds in history of Kwara State with what are currently on ground are not enough to justify such funds. And just like Bello, Mal. Abdulrazaq will be invited to explain how he’s currently spending Kwara State’s funds. Unlike Bello, the good people of Kwara State should make sure that no Ododo is available to shield him when the time comes.
These are, but few, of the similarities between ex-Governor Bello and Governor AbdulRazaq that some people are calling the attention of good people of Kwara State to and as well as his ongoing scheming to install his stooge that will shield him like Ododo is doing to Bello when he’s being called to come and account for his actions and inactions after leaving office.
In his mischievous attempt to divert people’s attention from noticing and preventing Gov. Abdulrazaq from imposing his Ododo-like stooge on us, the self acclaimed analyst, Abdullahi, referred to some of the allegations labeled on Dr Saraki which many of them have been proven to be nothing but mere allegations that lacked basis. Saraki left office in 2011, 13 years ago. He has been making himself available whenever he’s called upon. He had a siting Governor from the same party as the Governor of Kwara State then in ex-Governor Abdulfatai Ahmed when he was clearing his name from all these allegations. At no point did Dr Ahmed act like Ododo to shield Dr Saraki from honoring the invitations. It’s on this note that the well meaning Kwarans are calling for a well self-opinionated and stable Governor to succeed Governor Abdulrahman from any party and from any region who will not be acting as a shield for him when he’s being called to bed. And evidently, Danladi, his most preferred stooge, does not look nor act like someone in this bracket of self-opinionated and stable individual.
As the senate president, Dr Saraki happened to be the most investigated and persecuted senate president while in office. At the end, he was vindicated and left the bed unstained. If by now, EFCC and many courts of competent jurisdiction he had been taken to have not found him culpable of the allegations on him, why should anyone pay attention to a mere self acclaimed analyst for convicting such person in his own social media court?
