It seems as though the people of Kwara State, especially artisans and road transport workers in the state capital, are not happy with the former governor of the state, Senator Bukola Saraki.
They disgraced the politician by burning some branded materials, red caps, which were distributed to them in Ilorin, the state capital. The caps with the inscription, ‘O’su wa’ (We’re tired), were given by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to the transporters and other artisans to seek their support for the 2023 gubernatorial elections in the state.
The Chairman of the Task Force committee of the union in the state, Alhaji Taiye Olose, revealed that the materials were burnt to show that the PDP party led by the former Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki in Kwara State was rejected and cannot reclaim the reins of leadership in the state.
According to him, PDP has nothing new to offer the people of Kwara after ruling for 16 years with nothing to show for it before they were sent packing during the polls in 2019.
He said that Saraki who had ruled for eight years shouldn’t dream of imposing a candidate on them. He also added that since they were able to chase the Sarakis away who wanted to turn the leadership of the state to that of a family business, they are not dreaming of bringing his party back to the state.
The development was a huge slap on Saraki and his political influence which seems to be fast waning.
