No fewer than 300 women in Kwara
state, yesterday, organised a special prayer, asking God to grant the Senate
President, Dr Bukola Saraki victory in his present travails at the hands of the
Nigeria Police Force.
The woman recited verses from the
holy Qur’an and prayed God to protect the Senate President, whom they described
as their benefactor.
Addressing journalists on the
sidelines of the prayer session, leader of the group, Hajia Ramat Oganija said
they resorted to prayer because they were convinced that Saraki, who they said
was being implicated in the recent Offa bank robbery incident, “cannot hurt a
fly”.
She said Saraki had encouraged
entrepreneurship by empowering women and youths in the state to be economically
self-reliant.
Hajia Oganija said that the news
of “the invitation of our God-given leader and benefactor, Dr Abubakar Bukola
Saraki, the President of the Senate by the police over the recent Offa robbery
attacks came to us a rude shock.
“We were and still shocked by the
development because over the years we have known our leader, Dr Bukola Saraki
as a compassionate and kind-hearted man who could not hurt a fly. Our leader
abhors violence in all its ramifications.”
“He had helped many women with
money to start their own businesses and facilitated the training of young
women’s in vocational skills and kit them upon graduation.
“We want to use this forum to
make it clear to the police hierarchy that Saraki is our leader and a
law-abiding citizen whose passion is to improve the lots of the common man,
especially the women folk.
“We shall continue to support our
leader with prayers as we have no doubt in our minds that this fresh plot
against him like the ones before it shall fail woefully.”
