Saraki: Those Who Won In Kwara Are Not Our Enemies, Compare Them With Us

Senate President Bukola Saraki has said that those who defeated him and his associates in last Saturday’s National Assembly elections were not enemies of Kwara State but that time will enable the people to compare them with him and his allies.

In the first formal reaction to his defeat in his bid for a third term bid in the Senate, Senator Saraki while wishing the victors well nevertheless acknowledged what he described as irregularities that characterized the election.

In a statement issued by his spokesman, Yusuph Olaniyonu and obtained by www.gwgng.com, Senator Saraki said:

“However, whatever the final outcome of the election, I wish the candidates that have emerged all the best in their attempts to serve our people. It is my prayers that the good people of Kwara State will always have the best from any government both at state and federal levels.

“As a product of a family and a political structure that is, from its foundation, devoted to the service and development of our state and its people, it is my wish that our people will always have a good deal at all times. The new development will even provide the people the opportunity to compare and contrast. After all, the people who have emerged from last Saturday’s election are not my enemies. They are fellow Kwarans.

“As we prepare for the March 9, 2019Governorship and House of Assembly elections, let me reiterate my position that the candidates of the PDP in the election represent the best materials for our dear State, Kwara. Therefore, I enjoin our people to come out en mass on Election Day and vote for them. I am going to work with our party leaders to further sell the PDP candidates to the general public.

“I thank all Nigerians for their goodwill and to enjoin all of us that as we patiently await the outcome of the Presidential election, we pray for peace, unity and genuine development in our country. It is also our prayers that at all times, the wish of the people will always prevail in the choice of the leadership and the electorate will always enjoy the benefit of good governance,” Saraki stated.
