Saraki: How Kwara people ‘flogged’ us out of office - Senate President's ally, Ali Ahmad - AREWA.ng - Nigeria news.
The outgoing Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Dr Ali Ahmad, has said that the people of the state literally flogged them out of office in the last election because they were tired of the current government in the state.
The Speaker, who was a lecturer at the Amadu Bello University and was brought into politics by for Governor of Kwara State, Dr. Bukola Saraki, told Vanguard that the Saraki’s political dynasty will bounce, adding that only God knows when.
According to him, it was the current government that the people were tired of and booted out, adding that “The people have ‘kobokoed’ us.”
Ahmad, a former member of the House of Representatives, representing Ilorin East/Ilorin South federal constituency, said, “We have taken a decision that there will be peaceful transition, which is happening.
“We will not at all interfere with government. It is not they that the people voted for. It is we that people voted out.
“They never cared of who was on that ballot. It is this government that the people were tired of and booted out.
“We never had that feeling of disaffection or what we have done wrong. The people have ‘kobokoed’ us.
“Now we are feeling the pains. We will correct ourselves and appeal to the people that we have changed for another come back.
“For sure the dynasty will definitely bounce back but only God knows when.”
He also said that President Muhammadu Buhari was the best person that can effectively fight corruption in this country.
Ahmad added that Buhari has integrity and does not care about personal wealth, adding that it was hard to find five percent of politicians like the President.
He, however, said that the President has been applying the wrong approach to his desire to kill corruption.
He added, “I always said it that if Buhari leaves in 2023, this same system of fighting corruption is not sustainable.
“You don’t fight corruption that only you believe in. You should take Nigerians along.
“I have said it that Buhari is the best person that can effectively fight corruption in this country.
“It is a great opportunity. Buhari could have brought corruption to a standstill in this country, he has integrity, he does not care about personal wealth.
“It is hard to find five percent of politicians like him. And people around him know that.
“I don’t know whether God has not answered our prayers but we will keep praying that God gives us somebody like Buhari that will now come and sit down with Nigerians, asks them questions on how to fight corruption. If you ask me I will not fight corruption through the courts.”

The Governorship election petition tribunal in Ilorin, Friday dismissed the Peoples Democratic Party’s certificate forgery allegations against Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State and upheld his election in the March 9, 2019 poll.
Delivering judgement, Chairman of the tribunal, Justice Bassey Effiong, said all documents and certificates presented by the respondents during the election were not forged.
The tribunal held that Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq did not violate the provisions of Sections 177 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria based on the certificates he presented to contest the election.
Justice Effiong held that the word Rahaman was valid and that the assertion that the name written on the certificates did not start with Abdul is not a strong argument.
He said the petitioner has not been able to prove his case beyond reasonable doubt as enshrined in Sections 35(5)(6) of the Electoral Act 2010 as amended.
The tribunal held that the evidence of PW1 and PW2 did not prove the case of the petitioner.
Justice Effiong maintained that Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq was qualified to contest as at the time of the election.
Razaq Atunwa, the Governorship candidate for the People’s Democratic Party,in the 2019 election, and his party had filed a petition before the tribunal, challenging the authenticity of the WAEC results presented by Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq as well as his competence to contest the March 9,2019 Governorship poll in the state.
Reacting to the judgement through his spokesman Rafiu Ajakaye in a statement, Governor Abdulrazaq who was physically present at the tribunal, described it as a triumph of truth over falsehood and a sweet victory for Kwarans.
“This judgement affirms the truism that never will falsehood triumph over truth,nor evil over good till the end of time- no matter the efforts or public grandstanding of the purveyors of such falsehood.”
The statement said the judgement confirmed the party’s long held position that the entire allegation was malicious and a tale by the moonlight.
“For us the judgement serves as a tonic to go the extra mile to build a polity where players will be motivated only by truth and the dream of serving our people and not by unbridled ambitions,” the statement said.
“We thank their Lordships for their erudition and well considered judgement. We express our profound respect and gratitude to our legal team who meticulously and professionally handled the provocative issue with admirable comportment and superior knowledge of the law.
“While we were always confident of victory,since we had nothing to hide, there were some Kwarans who felt concerned that some persons were bent on either causing confusion or going through the backdoor to get whatever Kwarans did not give them at the poll. It is to this end that we most sincerely thank Kwarans for their support and prayers while the case lasted. We also assure them that we will follow through on the steps being taken to build a Kwara that is prosperous and is a pride of all.”
