Saraki cannot choose governor for Kwara By Abdulrazaq O Hamzat, Kwara

Kwara Must Change wishes to assure all Kwarans that for the first time in recent history, the people will be the sole determinant of their leaders come 2019.
This assurance became necessary due to the activities of some political jobbers, who are proving themselves enemy of the people by attempting to sell the future of the state as they have always done by usurping the democratic right of the people to choose their own leaders.
A group, which called itself Coalition of Registered Political Parties in Kwara State reportedly called on Senate President Bukola Saraki to intervene in the choice of governorship candidate in the state.
The group made the call in a letter written to Saraki which was signed by its coordinator, Alhaji Ahmed Abdullahi and widely reported across the media.
Kwara Must Change hereby condemns such an undemocratic call in the strongest term and we are informing the inconsequential group that never again, will Saraki or any individual be allowed to choose governor for the state.
The decision of who governs the state is a collective decision of the people of Kwara State and not an individual.
In the letter written to Bukola Saraki by the group as published, they claimed that without Saraki’s recent intervention, the entire state would have collapsed.
However, we wish to state categorically that the state has already collapsed due to the bad leadership of Saraki and that of his protégé, Abdulfatai Ahmed, that has lasted almost 16 years.
Kwara Must Change is confident more than ever before, that the 2019 general election will be differently purposeful.
Not only will be Saraki or any individual be denied of opportunity to usurp people’s right to choose their leaders across all positions, they will equally be shown the exit door as the people ascertain their sovereignty.
