… says my brother can’t stop Jonathan
Senator Gbemisola Saraki, younger sister of Senator Bukola Saraki yesterday led her siblings and other chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to Ilorin, KwaraState capital to counter her brother’s opposition to President Goodluck Jonathan and his 2015 ambition.
Gbemisola who was accompanied by Laolu and Tope Saraki; her siblings, was received by a mammoth crowd at the newly constructed multi-million naira Matchco Events Place.
Addressing the crowd, ‘Gbemi’ as she’s fondly called, revisited the quarrel between her and her elder brother which she said was occasioned by his (Bukola’s) disregard and disobedience to their late father, Dr Olusola Saraki.
According to her, her brother had approached their father to dump PDP long ago on the ground that he had problem with President Jonathan and the leadership of PDP at the time but which the late Kwara political icon turned down She said she had come on a reawakening mission saying, “the Kwara that my father brought me up to know is not this one. The one he knew and brought me up to know is a state of diverse people who are very courageous and hardworking.”
She lamented that the values had been bastardised while “the few who are not better than us can become local champions, riding the cars they did not work for and living in houses they do not deserve, while the majority who are equal stakeholders in Kwara are expected to scavenge to survive.”
Gbemi called on the people of the state to rescue it particularly the political, traditional and religious leaders. She also expressed appreciations to PDP members who stayed back in the party and urged people of the state to support and vote for President Jonathan come 2015.
