Bukola Saraki
There is a renew move to recall Senate President Bukola Saraki by
people of his constituency in Kwara Central Senatorial Zone District.
In a press statement on Tuesday, the group apologized to Nigerians
for electing Mr. Saraki as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
in the first place, and for making it possible for him to become Senate
President of Nigeria.
“Realizing the extent of damages done by the man we supplied to
Nigeria as our contribution, we take full responsibility for his stay
in the Senate while representing us, though we regret his actions,”
they said, adding that it has become clear Mr. Saraki cannot represent
the interest of the people because he doesn’t care about the existence
of the people.
Kwara Must Change said its members met during the just-concluded
Sallah celebration to deliberate on the state of the nation and of Kwara
State, and concluded that the suffering in Kwara State is a
self-inflicted borne out of wrong choices.
“We voted for the wrong people, when we should have voted for change,” they lamented.
They then said: “We are therefore declaring that, in line with
the provisions of Nigerian constitution, we the people of Kwara Central
under the Kwara Must Change platform have decided to commence the
process of recall against the Senate President to pave way for a more
responsible senator that will represent us well, so we can begin to get
better results from Nigeria.”
Towards that end, they put their coordinators in the 52 wards of
Kwara Central on notice to immediately commence the process of recalling
Senator Saraki by assigning representatives to all polling units within
their wards in the 4 Local Governments Areas of Kwara Central, namely
Ilorin West, Ilorin East, Ilorin South and Asa.
According to the statement, the appointment of polling unit
representatives and mobilization for the recall is to be completed in
the next two weeks, “and by August 1st 2017, we shall begin the
recall process properly by presenting the recall register to the public
for collection of signatures at the various polling units.”
The statement was signed by Abdulrazaq O Hamzat, the President of
Kwara Must Change, as well as the Coordinators of Kwara Central, Ilorin
West, Ilorin East, Asa, and Ilorin South.
