Nomadic/Fulani Communities in Kwara Pledge Support for Saraki; PDP

The Nomadic/Fulani communities in the seven Local Government Areas of Kwara South have pledged their undiluted loyalty and support for the President of the Senate, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki.

Speaking on behalf of the groups, the Chairman Kwara South Nomadic/Fulani Community, Alhaji Ibrahim Muhammadu T., appreciated the Senate President for his purposeful leadership trait and his courage for the unity of the country despite the political persecutions. He stated, despite being Fulani by tribe and birth, it's only Saraki that they know who has always come to their aid all year round.

He said, "we can never be party to injustice, victimization and lack of direction of the President Muhamnadu Buhari's led government that has not only drawn us backward but has also divided the country beyond imagination."

They, however, applauded the various strides of the Kwara South Senator, Dr Rafiu Adebayo Ibrahim, for his responsiveness to the plights of the Nomadic/Fulani Communities in the seven Local Government Areas of his Senatorial District.

"The Senator has been our source of inspiration and hope as he has never forsaken us in all his activities, programmes and empowerments. We, therefore, wish to say without being economical with the truth, that our support for Senator Rafiu Ibrahim and his Leader, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki come 2019 is total and uncontroversial."

Senator Rafiu Ibrahim who hosted the Kwara South Nomadic/Fulani Community in his personal residence, donated 2 trycycles, 7 motorcycles, 7 deep freezers, 20 bags of rice and cash donations plus one Hajj slot to be paid to the beneficiary immediately.

The items were presented to the representatives of the Nomadic/Fulani community from the LGAs by the Constituency office staff of the Senator led by the Senior Legislative Aide, Alhaji Abdulrauf Akogun, and Kwara State Commissioner for Sports and Youth Development, Hon. Muideen Alalade.

Also present were; Alhaji Tijani Olaegbe, Hon. Ben Duntoye, the DG RIB Foundation, Dr Bosun Lawal and other PDP stalwarts from Kwara South.

Appreciating the Senator's gesture, among others, were: the Youth Coordinator for Kwara South Nomadic Fulani Communities, Mr. Sodiq Ahmed, Alhaji Amasa Chairman, Ifelodun LGA Nomadic Fulani community, and also Alhaja Adama Yeroo, who was the Oyun LGA Woman Leader for the Nomadic Fulani community.

DISSOLUTION OF APC STRUCTURES DOWN THE LINE:  VICTORY FOR AA By Tijani Olaegbe Yes, call it war of attrition or conflict of Titans, you are not far from describing the supremacy battle between the party structure and the Governor who incidentally is the leader of the party in the state. This unfortunate incident reflects the doctrine that subscribes to the position that politics is a power game, when in the true sense of it, politics is the art of selfless service to fellowmen. This prolonged power game made Ramoni take the people of this State for a ride for the last 18 months by his abysmal disappointing performance coupled with his failure to take cognisance of his pre election campaign promises. The only achievement and that which is visible is propaganda coupled with blame game. Now that the deed is done and the battle is lost and won, Kwarans are eagerly waiting for the aftermath of the Governor's victory over his platform (APC) that catapulted him to ...
