Dr Olusola Saraki,The godfather of Kwara state politics secrete agenda exposed.
After proclaiming his daughter Gbemisola Saraki as his next candidate for the governorship election that will be holding in 2011.
The proclamation has generated a lot of controversies and after much consideration, i was able to make the following analysis.
From what we have seen so far, Olusola saraki is not ready to do the wish of the people.
And If Saraki insisted that his female daughter Gbemisola saraki remain his candidate, i.e going against the people in kwara (ilorin), it might result into a riot because from all indications, the alfa are ready to fight against this action and gbemisola is indeed ready for the challenge.
The reaction of the current Governor to the situation.
From what we have seen, The current Governor Bukola Saraki has turned is back on his Father and has really demonstrated to the people publicly that he will do the wish of the people by not making his sister his successor.
The secrete agenda
I sense some conspiracy here, because from my understanding of this situation, I believe The godfather, Olusola saraki is willing to continue is dominance on the people of kwara by transferring the godfather-ism position to his son ( the current Governor Bukola saraki).
both of them try to create this confusing situation for easy transfer of power.
The people of kwara are determined to serve Olusola Saraki to death, but he wants his dominance to extend beyond him alone to his generation on born.
So he decided to create a scenario that will enable his son to demonstrate to the people that he his equally capable of leading the state.
The scene
Olusola saraki named his daughter Gbemi Saraki as his next Governorship candidate and his son Bukola Sarki is opposing his father publicly. This scene will result to contention between the father and the son because from all indications, Governor bukola saraki will nominate his own Governorship candidate that will contest with that of his father.
Because the people dislike the candidate of the Father, they will go for the son's candidate and this will mean that Governor Bukola nominated a candidate and he won.
now
he will be seen as the next godfather and the people of kwara will embrace him for going against his father in the first place.
but all the scene is a setup between them, or what do u think?

This Is the Voice Of Reasoning from Kwara
This Is the Voice Of Reasoning from Kwara written on April 7
By: Abdulrazaq O Hamzat
Only the best is good for us.
We shall collectively see to the end of Saraki and must not take a new godfather, so its clear that rejecting Saraki is a must and accepting Tinubu is not an option.
God took the people of Israel from their overlord (Pharaoh) and gave them total freedom through a man without a godfather and a man of integrity (Moses). Today,God has decided to take the state of harmony (Kwara) from the hands of our pharaoh (Saraki) to give us a total freedom through another man of integrity (Gbenga Olawepo).
Some scrupulous element amongs us are trying to change the will of god in our state by introducing another more ruthless foreign overlord that we all must collectively reject by supporting the man, who shall by the grace of God take us to the land of promise.
WHY OLAWEPO
1. Because his manifesto is a realistic agenda for economic development
2. Because he is a man that stands without a godfather i.e 100% loyalty lies with the people
3. Because he led Kwara Tech's student now Kwara Poly to fight against injustice in the late 80s
4. Because he led Nigerian Students to victory hiagainst the military in 1989. ANTI SAP RALLY.
5. Because he is not Dele Belgore who betrayed is blood brother (Kale Belgore) to serve is lagos godfather
6. Because he is not Fatai Ahmeed who drained Society General Bank,Trade Bank and kwara treasury to serve is overlord.
7.Because he is not Gbemi Saraki who spent 12 years at the National Assembly without any meaningful initiative contribution and no any reasonable constituency project.
8. Because he is a man who do not see kwara state Governorship position as a do or die affair, and neither did he see it as a personal business.
9. Because he is a man whose life history is the fight for truth,justice and equity.
Support the truth,Equity and justice is certain.

How not to be a godfather

Olusola Saraki,Example of a bad Godfather
i feel sorry for youth queuing behind lie just to eat for today and to serve another mans interest for the whole of their life. the same way our fathers did that lead us to this bad situation.
Taking you down the memory lane
in 1979, saraki presented Adamu Attah for Governor,as a good candidate for all to support.Kwarans supported him and gave him the mandaten to0 lead the state for better development.
After ruling his tenure, Saraki came back to say Adamu attah, a candidate he presented was a bad leader.
In 1983, he brought C.O Adebayo as the credible candidate,kwarans embraced him in on hearing the voice of their hero.
After rulling, he Saraki came back to say Adebayo is bad.
in 1992, he brought Saba lafiaji to be the trusted and tested candidate,he once again got the mandate from the people.
After ruling, Saraki came back again to say saba is another evil candidate he misplaced for good.
1n 1999, he brought lawal, after some years,he came back to condemned him which lead to violence all across he state.
in 2003, he brought is son bukola,The people still believe in him(Saraki) and supported him, by giving his son the mandate to take kwara to the next level.
now he is back again. He has come back with his old trick and story. He has condemned his own biological son bukola saraki as bad and want to replace him with daughter.
What that means is as follows:
1. Saraki Lack the sense of identifying a good leader, if he chooses 5 people to lead on different occasions and non of this five came out to be good, confirmed by him.
2. If the same saraki who chosed them as good candidates, came back in five occasion to say they are bad, it means that saraki himself is bad.
3. If saraki as choosed 5 people and all came out to bad,that means the next one he will be choosing will also turn out to be the same as others (bad)
With the following outlined,i hereby state categorically that any candidate, i repeat, any or i should say all candidate coming from saraki will always be a bad and therefore should not be supported by any reasonable person, young or old.
If Saraki as been making this selection from his young age and its turning out to be bad at the end, it is certain that his choice while at this age will be extremely bad,poor and wrong.
Talking about his son, Bukola saraki.
Another example of his father.His father Olusola saraki thought him everything he knew today,he believed in him so much than anyon else,he even made him the Governor of a state.
If his father is this bad in choosing,its clear he will take after his father (a bad leader). this can further be confirmed by his father's condemnation. His father olusola saraki who made him the Governor, came out publicly to say his son is bad, meaning he his indeed bad and would never make a good choice. So, anything coming from the saraki family should be generally rejected by the general public.
SEE EXAMPLE OF A GOOD LEADER IN COMRADE GBENGA OLAWEPO.
Gbenga Toyosi Olawepo (born 28 June 1965) is a Nigerian politician.
The name Olawepo first made the headlines when as an anti-apartheid activist he and three other students’ leaders of the University of Lagos were clamped into the over-crowded Nigeria Police cell in April 1989 after an anti apartheid protest.
The former student union leader has distinguished himself in partisan politics. The Nigerian Tribune, a newspaper founded by the late Nigerian Nationalist leader, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, captured this properly. The newspaper sometimes ago wrote: “In the political firmament of Nigeria, there are young Saraki’s, young Azikiwe’s, young Adedoyin’s who are children of established political and financial magnates but there are few names that have made it on their own to the political centre stage like Gbenga Olawepo, a rising star with no fall back platform or push of any godfather or back up of any financial empire. Talking of emerging political leaders this is a true discovery’’.
Olawepo again displayed courage when General Abacha suddenly died in 1998, on the eve of the consummation of his planned transmutation into a civilian dictator. The duo of Olawepo and Dan Nwanyawu, now National Chairman of Labour Party, co-ordinating with Jerry Gana, moved into Fort IBB- a military barrack in Abuja, which housed the then Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Ishaya Bamayi -a key member of the military high command, to deliver a memorandum suggesting some direction for the transition to democracy. Interestingly, the final programme of transition reflected substantially their input. But it was a risky venture done when the destiny of the nation was hanging in the balance and when there was massive troop movement. Olawepo played prominent role in the transition process. In 1998/1999, he was the Secretary of the Women and Youth Development Committee of the Transition committee established by the then President-elect, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. He also assisted the then PDP Chief spokesperson – Senator Anietie Okon- in running the party’s vast information machinery at the period of campaign and during the transition.
A comprehensive write up shall be released about him soon.

Sincerity in our Democracy
Hello Nigerians,
The 2011 presidential election as been widely broadcasted as free and fair,not just by the local observers alone, but also by international observers. These I believe will make most of the people accept the outcome of the presidential election including me. For this reason, I say Congratulation to the President elect (Good luck Jonathan) for winning the election based on the widely published and accepted result released by the independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
This piece is not aimed at condemning or discrediting the outcome of the election, but to critically look at the election and making a firm stand on the following:
1.weather the election was actually free and fair as it was widely broadcasted
2.weather the claim by CPC/Buhari is genuine or not
3. For us as individuals to make a firm stand on the outcome of the election based on fact presented by CPC and others we may get and
4. To note any suspected foul play and learn to prevent future re-occurrence.
The 2011 presidential election and CPC has provided an avenue for Nigeria to be a truthful country.
Cpc said in their release:
The fact that there are no two people with the same fingerprint, every
fingerprint can therefore be scientifically verified basically through the
following preliminary basics of the technical Biometrics/Forensics methods which details will be made available by the experts:-
65 days to be able to get all voters register authenticated, all disputed
ballot papers examined, any other electoral document assessed, all findings compiled and submitted to the court, and return of all source data and documents to INEC. Our firm has participated in 300 electoral processes in 19 countries with more than 500 million voters tallied for government, private and multilateral organizations.
To the CPC, this use of Forensic/Biometric system based on INEC’s capturing of all the 10 fingers of every voter is a novel idea that can help solve forever the challenges of multiple voting and outright concoction of results; two critical issues in our electoral malpractices.

This is a good one coming from CPC in my opinion,I think it’s high time we forget our interest in Party/Candidate but genuinely look at the case of the claim presented by CPC/Buhari and establish the authenticity of the claims.
I believe we all have the eyes to see the truth and the hearts to judge genuinely.
point of note (Its clear that its almost impossible for Buhari to win in court, but its not impossible for us to know the truth of the election),this will help our understanding in establishing the truth on what really transpired in the presidential election.
Some years to come, our children may ask us about what happened during this period, it will be destructive and unjust to tell them lies, based on our insisting not to know the real truth, its better for us all to open our heart and critically consider the facts and take our stand genuinely.
Claim by CPC in its petition
1. The national average turnout rate is about 52% and about 46% when the substantially above average turnout rate in the South South and South East zones is excluded. Why?
2. The average turnout rate in the South South and South East zones (without Ebonyi and Edo states) at 78% is 50% above the national average of about 52%. How come?
3. Dr. Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP got over 85% share of the valid votes cast in all the 11 states in the South South and South East zones, with 10 of the said states at 95% and above including 4 of the states at 99% and 1 at near perfect share of 99.6% in his home state. Thus, all the 11 states in the 2 zones had a red flag for being above the national average turnout rate and/or were above 85% threshold. Do ‘these figures of 95% and above for one party suggest that these are fabricated figures’ as aptly stated in 1 above by the BBC World News reporter, more so that 10 states are affected rather than the 3 states he identified?
4. General Buhari of the CPC (and indeed all other opposition candidates) had no single state with a combination of average turnout rate above the national average and share of valid votes in excess of 85%. Why only Dr. Goodluck Jonathan in NOT one, two or three but nine states?
5. The inevitable reasonable conclusion from the incontrovertible facts in 1 to 4 above is that no credible elections took place in the South South and South East zones and that those returns were basically concocted through fraudulent thumb printing and stuffing of ballot papers and/or that the results were deliberately falsified in favour of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP.
8. In spite of the case of res ipsa loquitur (a thing that speaks for itself) adduced in Table 1 above, additional and specific evidence of massive rigging is to be found in Table 2 below which is a summary of a sample of ward level collation results in Rivers State. The average turnout rate in the sample is 49%; which begs the question as to how the turnout in the declared result for the state metamorphosed into well over 76%?
This is definitely a test of how independent INEC is; I sincerely hope INEC will come out of it successfully. I personally believe that scanning the ballot papers for multiple voting will strengthen our democracy and will serve as deterrent against future occurrence since perpetrators know that there is a process that will exposed them. INEC please cooperate and save our democracy, let no ballot paper miss from you custody.
I doubt if PDP/INEC will allow this to go ahead. Unfortunately, the 'blind' followers will also say 'CPC would not have won anyways' forgetting that this is a means of strengthening our democracy.
As a first step though, I suggest CPC should tell INEC to PUBLICLY declare results in EVERY Polling Unit (120,000). They can put this on their website.
The issue is not whether CPC would have won or not but to reveal how the speculated free and fair election was. if this is carried out well it will show how much we have developed in our democracy since its inception.

As a first step though, I suggest CPC should tell INEC to PUBLICLY declare results in EVERY Polling Unit (120,000). They can put this on their website.
The issue is not whether CPC would have won or not but to reveal how the speculated free and fair election was. if this is carried out well it will show how much we have developed in our democracy since its inception.
Let’s genuinely consider the claims by CPC in their petition sent to the Tribunal for the betterment of Nigeria.
Thanks

Nigeria Needs A Nigerian National Philosophy Commission(NNPC)
Nigeria needs a Nigerian National Philosophy commission(NNPC)
President Jonathan should as a matter of importance institute 'The Nigerian National Philosophy commission(NNPC), to develop a clear national ideology for the Nigerian nation, promote same beyond tribe, religion, region, ethnicity and gender, and do away with the 'Federal Character Commission'. We need to immediately start looking at Nigeria as a nation to survive. The absence of a clear feasible national philosophy for the
Nigerian nation is a costly mistake of our founding fathers that needs to be corrected. No nation can attain national development without a clear nation philosophy, ideology, upon , which its developmental strives are anchored on. We need to correct this anomaly as the modern educated Nigerian citizens. Just as a good home has a master plan so a nation needs a clear national philosophy, ideology, to survive. I will like to see this achieved in Nigeria in my life time.
We, as a matter of importance, need to correct this mistake for the sake of our children, the unity of Nigeria as a prosperous, peaceful n, ation. Humans make a peaceful prosperous nation. It is time we did get it right in Nigeria as patriotic citizens. GEJ cannot do it alone for individuals are differently endowed by God.
Nigeria needs a clear feasible national philosophy to attain national development for no nation can without it. It is not about a commission, or agency, some of our commissions and agencies are no longer relevant and need to be closed down. We need as a matter of importance the Nigerian National Philosophy Commission to correct the mistakes of the past:enshrining tribalism, regionalism and ethnicism into the fabrics of the Nigerian system. We must start looking at Nigeria as a nation to survive. You can ask a clear question for directions.You cannot feasibly fight corruption without a clear national ideology for it is this that will define the term ' corruption', the very basis for fighting it.
A national philosophy is the fundamental principle upon which the governance of a nation is based. You need to define this, introduce it to fight corrup, tion for it shall be the very basis of our national ethics, moral principle for fighting corruption. A nation that has no such moral compass cannot feasibly fight corruption. The main role of NNPC shall be to define all developmental indexes in Nigerian context, introduce them for the sake of development, and promote them.
According to Iya Umar, I think we need much more than that. what we need is for the government to make every Nigerian feel that he belongs and we are a family and inculcate a sense of Nationalism and Patriotism that will make every body work towards attaining a greater Nigeria than is greater than any individual, group or section, irrespective of where you come from. But the clearification is that, the National Philosophy of Nigeria, is that which will be the very basis for our identity, upon which our nationalism or patriotism will be defined. There is nothing like nationalism wi, thout a clear national philosophy. Remember, a national philosophy is the fundamental principle upon which the governance of a nation is based. We need to do things differently to survive in Nigeria. NCE
It is pretty difficult if not impossible to implement a national policy without a clear national philosophy, ideology, for a national philosophy is the basis for the implementation of a nation's policies.
Quoting Peter Emeka ,Which National ideology, Will it stop the issues of hate, religious bigotry and lack of trust. Will national ideology stop the continuous and unabated killing, rioting and destruction of properties that happens in the north .Will it bring , back the dead and those who will fall victims.
Remember that the masterminds of these evils are unrepentant. So what we need is a sovereign National Conference to define our existence as a Nation-State. Nigeria has never been a nation but a colonial British creation for their economic interest.
Take it or leave it: Nigeria needs a clear national philosophy to attain national development, for no nation can attain a national development without a clear national philosophy. The earlier we understand this, work for it, put it in place, promote it, our identity, the better for us. Our survival as a nation is therein.
