Saraki’s people want the governor to know that their principal won’t be on the ballot in next year’s election.
The Media Office of Former Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki has advised the Governor of Kwara State, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq to cure himself of the fixation with the name of a man who assumed the post he is presently occupying 18 years ago.
Abdulzaraq and Saraki have been engaged in a battle for political supremacy for quite some time now.
In a statement signed by Yusuph Olaniyonu, Saraki’s Media Office writes that Governor Abdulrazaq has continued to display the attitude of a man suffering from an inferiority complex.
“The Media Office of Abubakar Bukola Saraki noted the ‘long essay’ written by Rafiu Ajakaye, the Press Secretary to Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq which was drifting with the name of Saraki from the headline to the last sentence.
“Ordinarily, one would ignore the piece as another diversionary gimmick being employed by a Governor and a government now reputed for failure to deliver on the numerous promises made to the people during elections.
“However, we consider it important to let the governor and his spin doctors know that the people have seen through their deception and thus, they should now direct their efforts towards delivering good governance to the good people of Kwara State.

“It is important for Abdulrazaq and his cohorts to be reminded that Saraki can never be governor again. He is not going to be on the ballot for the governorship in 2023. So, why do the governor and his government talk about Saraki every time? They should know that 2023 will be a verdict on whether he (the governor) had measured up to expectation as a competent and efficient administrator.
“The Kwara State government should also know that 2023 will be a referendum on whether the promises he made to the people have been fulfilled. The election will not be about how many times he abused Saraki and what he did to antagonize the Saraki family.”
The statement adds that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to which Saraki belongs, will field a competent, well educated, experienced, and acceptable gubernatorial candidate in the next general elections in Kwara State, who will be ready to debate the performance of the current government.
