Oyinkansola, sister to the Senate
President, Bukola Saraki, has appealed to the Kwara State Governor-elect,
Abdulrahman Abdulrazak, to immortalise her father and a political icon from the
state, Dr Olusola Saraki.
Oyinkansola said her late father
prepared the political ground in Kwara State, hence he should be immortalised.
In a statement she personally
signed, Oyinkansola also enjoined the governor-elect not to allow the political
leaning of her brother and current President of the Senate stop him from
honouring their father.
According to her:
“Congratulations, governor-elect, Abdulrahman Abdulrazak. I am appealing to you
sir to immortalise my father, Dr Olusola Saraki, the man believed to be the
strong pillar of Kwara State politics during his lifetime.
“With all due respect sir, may I
remind you that my father single-handedly established political grounds in
Kwara State in the Second Republic.
“It may interest you to know that
most governors of the state rode on his popularity and influence to the
corridors of power; they include Adamu Atta, Cornelius Adebayo, Mohammed Lawal
and his son, Bukola Saraki.
“Everything Bukola is today was
my father’s doing, yet he could not think of honouring his father by
immortalising him.
“It just shows the kind of son he
is. I acknowledge that my brother may have stepped on people’s toes but sir, my
father deserves to be honoured in Kwara State.
“I believe you will serve the
people of Kwara well. I know you are a man of integrity. I am appealing to you
sir in the name of Allah to do this for me so that my father’s name and all he
has put into the development of Kwara State will not perish.”
