The Kwara State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Engr
Kola Shittu on Sunday assured that the Saraki dynasty will return
stronger with greater impact in the politics of Kwara State, adding
that the loss of the last general election is a temporary setback for
the leadership of the Senate President.
Shittu spoke during the final Tafsir and Lailatul Qadir programme
organised by the Ilorin West chapter of the PDP in honour of the
Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki held at Ilofa Road GRA, Ilorin.
According to him, Saraki is the architect of the new Kwara State and
has played a unique role and contribution to see to the progress and
development of the state more than any previous governor.
Shittu said having worked very closely with the Senate President
during his tenure as the governor; he has been privileged to be
exposed to the God given wisdom that has seen him make significant
impact in all the places he had served.
“It’s unfortunate that we don’t seem to appreciate the personality of
Saraki at home who is internationally recognised with immense wisdom
and knowledge about governance and policies.
“I know that the loss of the PDP in the last election was a temporary
setback and the dynasty will bounce back in style stronger and with
greater impact.
“He enjoined supporters to use the Ramadan period to pray for the
protection and progress of Saraki and continued guidance from Allah
(SWT).
In his sermon, Shiekh Mohammed Oluwatoyin Hasibunallah called on the
senate president to be steadfast in seeking forgiveness and thanking
Allah for all the favours bestowed and continue to seek for Allah’s
forgiveness for any mistake he might have committed in his position as
the leader in the state.
He however called on the women to be steadfast, youth and other party
supporter to always support the dynasty irrespective of the present
challenges, adding that they should imbibe the lessons of Ramadan to
live a reformed life instead of sliding back to the era of sins and
intensify prayers for the senate president in his endeavours
henceforth.
Present at the programme were former Special Adviser Political, Hassan
Gegele, Director-General of Mandate ABS Office, Musa Abdullahi, Sheikh
Abdulrazak Aduagba, Alhaji Atanda Zoro, Hajia Tawakaltu Mako and
former SA Religion, Alhaji Tunde Bello among others.
