Lai Mohammed, minister of
information and culture, has alleged that the Saraki family has cornered Kwara
state’s commonwealth in the past 40 years.
He said the Saraki dynasty in
Kwara had rendered the quality of life of the people to the lowest point.
The minister made the allegation
on Thursday in Ilorin at a ceremony organised by the Kwara All Progressives
Congress (APC).
He said: “The main issues here
have to do with how our state has been governed in the past 50 years, 40 of
which have been dominated by a single family.
“What has happened to the
commonwealth, which has been cornered by a single dynasty at the expense of the
people.
“Where are the roads and other
infrastructure to justify the huge resources that have accrued to the state?
“If you follow a path for so
long, and it leads you nowhere, won’t you try another path? These are the
issues.”
The minister said despite the
stance of Senate President Bukola Saraki, his loyalists from Kwara were still
occupying executive positions.
He said some of Saraki’s loyalist
holding federal executive positions will soon be shown the way out.
“Some of the people they
nominated to the boards of government’s agencies and parastatals are still
there, yet they claim that Kwara has not benefitted from this federal
government,” the minister said.
“These people, some of whom are
holding executive positions, will soon be shown the way out.”
Mohammed said the issues the APC
is concerned with in Kwara have to do with good governance and better life for
the people.
