Saraki like a ‘native doctor who was busy going to other states now unable to heal his own people’ – Oshiomhole

National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has mocked Senate President Bukola Saraki over the loss of the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the recently concluded by-election in Kwara State.

Oshiomhole made jest of the former Kwara State governor, saying the end of his reign as godfather was imminent.

Saraki is said to have being the god-father of Kwara State politics who decides who gets what in the politics of the state.

Following his dumping of the APC for PDP, the ruling party had vowed it was going to ensure it wrestled the control of Kwara politics from the Senate President.

Therefore speaking on the outcome of the election, Oshiomhole said, “For me even more outstanding is the humiliating defeat Saraki suffered in the hands of Kwara people who are determined to dismantle the Saraki failed attempt to install his own variance of a political culture of which he is the only constant decimal.

“I think the good people of Kwara State have dealt him a big blow as the proclaim leader of the opposition PDP and he has had to lead the campaigns to so many other places. Now here is a native doctor who was busy going to other states now unable to heal his own people. That defeat in Kwara State as far as we are concerned, particularly by person he did not put in place to stand election means a lot to us.

“We are not going to accept a Nigerian variant where a minority party preside over the affairs of the national assembly whether as dictated by Bukola Saraki as represented by Yakubu Dogara in the House of Representatives of the PDP because it is not right.

“In his own case what the people of Kwara have done to him is that they are going to politically bury him come February next year and he has seen the first warning .I am sure Saraki would be politically retired by the good people of Kwara that he has mismanaged their economic and political rights over the years. So I am very excited about that and we think that this is something worth celebrating and we took time to celebrate it today.”
