Saraki And The Offa Robbery.

By Sulaiman Kazeem

Yes, the universe is perfect and its inhabitants are beautiful. But, the inability of man to perceive dangers in the aura and the people that surrounds him, is probably the peak of imperfection in the creation of man... Hey! hold it, this is not a religious post.

FYI, never have the people of Offa witnessed such a well orchestrated heinous act like the one that obstructed the rays of the sun on Thursday, April 5, 2018. Well, you may choose to call it 'ECLIPSE OF OFFA', because a 'known' group of evil people who have political ties with people in power chose to obstruct the sunlight of that day and decided to cast shadows of sorrow, tears and blood on the good people of Offa.

Expectedly, the Nigerian media corporation has gone agog. Especially, after the names of the Marchiaveli like Kwara State Godfather, Sen. Bukola Saraki, who by coincidence is Nigeria's incumbent Senate President and a Former Governor of Kwara State, and that of his 'loyal to a fault' political son who is the incumbent Governor of Kwara State, erupted like volcanoes from the statements that were submitted by the suspects and also made available to the public, and following their invitation for questioning at the Police HQ cum by proxy - a written statement.

It is laughable, isn't it laughable that a majority of the people calling for the head of the Senate President are equally guilty of the act of sponsoring criminals, funding cultism and making them do the very dirty jobs. Shamefully, these are the sponsors of the calumny filled articles flying on the social media. Surprisingly, it is a case of the kettle calling the pot black.

Well, politics is a warfare, and in any warfare, nothing is unfair. No doubt, the duo could have also done the same to their political rivals, if not something worse.

To some political observers, the ugly unfolding is yet another plot to ridicule the person of the Senate President and of course it is machined by the cabal in the presidency and aimed at damping his aspiration to become President. In addition, it is perceived as an attack on the nPDP faction in the ruling party.

In all of these, Bukola Saraki and his political son are wearing these allegations like 14 Karat gold necklaces and can be seen as an accomplice to the heinous crime that was committed in Offa. Saraki and Ahmed may be docked for illegal arms procurement (Gun running), sponsoring of a criminal group, but not for armed robbery.

No doubt, the footprints of their oppressors would remain indelible in the minds of the Offa people, the 'wounds' would remain fresh for as long as time, and then the scars will remain forever.

The first stone has been cast and it is our hope that the political fight will get really muddy.

Saraki has scaled through very difficult times. Would this one also pass?
