Young people ,who are members of the Saraki political structure, are preparing for a showdown with some leaders of the group.
Actually, there are rumblings of annoyance, the young Sarakites have described as condemnable and unconscionable the recent actions of some among the top associates of the leader of the structure, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki.
The aggrieved young people were open –mouthed in shock and disbelief that the Director General of Abubakar Bukola Saraki Mandate Constituency Office, Alhaji Musa Abdullahi, Alhaji Danmairomu, Alhaji Alli Olola and a former state PDP Chairman, Engineer Kola Shittu could sit comfortably at an event where derisive comments were made about Dr Bukola Saraki.
While it may be understandable that their social life cannot be regulated or controlled and they may say ‘there was nothing wrong about attending Prof Abubakar Sulaiman’s birthday’, the fact is that once it is observed that your political leader is being attacked you either speak in his defense or leave to show that you are not in support of what they are saying.
‘It is sad that when it comes to the distribution of Ramadan packages for Kwarans, this is the same Alhaji Musa Abdullahi that will be in charge of all the Multimillion naira Items to be distributed across Kwara State
Rams for Sallah and many other packages come through him, yet, he was the one frolicking at the event and he was unruffled as APC supporters were singing and making derisive comments about his leader, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki
The Danmairomu ,who has been the one coordinating events held by the political structure, was also seen there . Is this the same Danmairomu that will still be handling microphone at events held by the structure? If this happens, then, Dr Saraki is not ready for the total overhauling of the structure? One of the young members of the party said angrily.
Some among leaders of the party are said to be currently making efforts to pacify the aggrieved young people .
They told them that since Abdulahi and others have faced backlash and severe criticism which they deserve, the young people should not rock the boat but this is certainly a wrong opinion.
We must not forget that Prof Abubakar Sulieman had on several occasions claimed that over half of the PDP structure in Kwara are with him which has been one of his bargaining chip with the APC to make him appear heavy in his new party (APC) but one would wonder what he meant by that claim until we saw Alhaji Musa Abdullahi, Alhaji Danmairomu, Alhaji Ali Olola, Engr Kola Shittu among others at his birthday event where they were singing and insulting our political leader, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki..
This will not be taken lightly with them and it is better we face them squarely because they allowed Prof Suleiman to cheaply use them as political scores to berate our leader in public. Whatever Prof Suleiman (DG NILS) might have given them, I’m sure they have gotten multiples of it from Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki yet, they succumbed to crumbs to be part of unnecessary gathering to dent the Image of our party.
This will not be taken lightly with them!
