The outgoing Speaker of the Kwara
State House of Assembly, Dr Ali Ahmad, has said that the people of the state
literally flogged them out of office in the last election because they were
tired of the current government in the state.
The Speaker, who was a lecturer
at the Amadu Bello University and was brought into politics by for Governor of
Kwara State, Dr. Bukola Saraki, told Vanguard that the Saraki’s political
dynasty will bounce, adding that only God knows when.
According to him, it was the
current government that the people were tired of and booted out, adding that
“The people have ‘kobokoed’ us.”
Ahmad, a former member of the
House of Representatives, representing Ilorin East/Ilorin South federal
constituency, said, “We have taken a decision that there will be peaceful
transition, which is happening.
“We will not at all interfere
with government. It is not they that the people voted for. It is we that people
voted out.
“They never cared of who was on
that ballot. It is this government that the people were tired of and booted
out.
“We never had that feeling of
disaffection or what we have done wrong. The people have ‘kobokoed’ us.
“Now we are feeling the pains. We
will correct ourselves and appeal to the people that we have changed for
another come back.
“For sure the dynasty will
definitely bounce back but only God knows when.”
He also said that President
Muhammadu Buhari was the best person that can effectively fight corruption in
this country.
Ahmad added that Buhari has
integrity and does not care about personal wealth, adding that it was hard to
find five percent of politicians like the President.
He, however, said that the
President has been applying the wrong approach to his desire to kill
corruption.
He added, “I always said it that
if Buhari leaves in 2023, this same system of fighting corruption is not
sustainable.
“You don’t fight corruption that
only you believe in. You should take Nigerians along.
“I have said it that Buhari is
the best person that can effectively fight corruption in this country.
“It is a great opportunity.
Buhari could have brought corruption to a standstill in this country, he has
integrity, he does not care about personal wealth.
“It is hard to find five percent
of politicians like him. And people around him know that.
“I don’t know whether God has not
answered our prayers but we will keep praying that God gives us somebody like
Buhari that will now come and sit down with Nigerians, asks them questions on
how to fight corruption. If you ask me I will not fight corruption through the
courts.”
