On the eve of the official flag off of election campaign for the 2019 polls, Senate President, Bukola Saraki has boasted that Kwara state will never take instructions from godfathers in Lagos State.
Buhari Refused to Give Appointment to Kwara People After Spending N400m Per state in 2015 – Saraki
This he said in an address to supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara state in an apparent shade to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Governor of Lagos State.
This address was recorded in an audio clip that has gone viral on social media, posted by a blogger on Twitter, Kayode Ogundamisi.
While Saraki made his address without mentioning names, party supporters could be heard shouting Tinubu’s name in the background as he made the statement.
Excerpts from the audio clip read;
“If you don’t even want Bukola, bring someone from Kwara and empower him. They don’t want that. Rather, they want you to be going to Lagos to get instructions. If I am the only one that remains in this party, I will remain and fight to the last.
In politics, we are in the top three; to tell us to leave our ward and be going to Lagos to take instruction? Don’t be stupid.
“Let us not forfeit our number one position for someone that will be going to Lagos to receive instructions. Never! It cannot happen. We are the ones that will repair things ourselves.”
