IS THERE ANY RELIGION DISCRIMINATION WHILE SARAKI WAS IMPOSING ON KWARANS.........? Lets glance through the short story on the crisis between saraki aND Kwara state formal governor (Adamu Attah), To justify the present political NUHAHA BUHAHA IN KWARA STATE PDP , AS REGARDS TO OUR GOVERNOR TO BE SENATOR S.S AJIBOLA . As I indicated earlier, Adamu Attah was to lose a chance to be re-elected in the 1983 election because of the serious crisis that had opened up between him and Abubakar Olusola Saraki, the Senate Leader, who doubled as party chieftain in Kwara state.Early in the administration, Attah deferred completely to Saraki, including even the abandonment of state activities to await Olusola Saraki at the Ilorin airport. The prince in Attah began to reject the apparent humiliation of such waits and other acts inthe hands of the powerful party leader thatwas nevertheless a commoner.Efforts by the national leadership to broker peace repeatedly failed. The national NPN leadership supported the governor, but Olusola Saraki was at his wily best, and had mobilised the Ilorin people to oppose ademonised Attah (the same tactic was exploited by Olusola Saraki against the late Governor MuhammedLawal in 2003), this was inspite of the support that Adamu Attah enjoyed from the late Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Zulkarnaini Gambari (father of the present emir). Saraki went into an alliance with the opposition UPN, and convinced thecommunity to back its candidate, C.O.Adebayo. Adamu Attah lost the election and disappeared from the political scene. He spent the next thirty years in relative obscurity, hardship and ill health.But with his death, we must acknowledge his contributions to the making of our stateand the building of our country. He was avery decent man, who clearly belonged to amore decent era. He did not work out a dubious pension package for himself, the type that Bukola Saraki did, at the end of hiscontroversial governorship of Kwara.Bukola Saraki allegedly receives N100 Million monthly pension from Kwara today and he also got the state to build him a house that occupies half of a street in the GRA. Kwarapays for his convoy of cars and security men;we pick the bill of his hired private jets andwe foot his and family’s medical and holidayexpenses, annually. All that for themisfortune we had that he governed us foreight years.That was not what Adamu Attah did. TheSecond Republic politicians, the generation that Adamu Attah belonged to, suffered a lotof opprobrium, especially after theiroverthrow in December 1983. But they were overthrow in December 1983. But they weremuch more committed to our communities than the present generation of barefacedlooters of our states. Adamu Attah left powerquietly and died on May 1st, 2014. May Allah forgive his sins. we were direct then to vote c.o adebayo by saraki and no one antagonise him except emir , even with the support of emir for Adamu Attah , ilorites turn their back to emir because of saraki. And i belief if Ajibola as PDP aspirant was nominated by saraki no one will dispute his decision, why???
