“We Were Branded As Enemies For Seeking Transparency From Buhari” – Saraki Recalls
Former Senate President Bukola Saraki has voiced his frustrations and concerns regarding the political climate that prevailed under the immediate past administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Saraki, now a member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), underscored a significant discord between his endeavors to foster transparency and the response from the Buhari administration.
During his tenure as Senate President, Saraki staunchly advocated for legislative oversight and strived to uphold accountability within the executive branch. However, his unwavering commitment to these principles inadvertently led to him being perceived as an adversary by the administration and its supporters.
At the heart of Saraki’s grievances lies what he describes as “relentless persecution” following his persistent demands for transparency from Buhari’s government. This sentiment reverberated across various platforms, with Saraki and his actions during his Senate tenure becoming a focal point of discussion among Nigerians.
Critics and supporters alike took to social media to voice their opinions on Saraki’s claims and his role in shaping the political landscape. While some accused Saraki of hypocrisy, citing his past as governor of Kwara State and questioning his contributions to his constituency and the nation, others defended his record as Senate President, arguing that his leadership served as a necessary check on the powers of the executive branch.
The ensuing debate transcended Saraki’s personal political journey, delving into broader issues of governance, corruption, and the efficacy of Nigeria’s democratic institutions. Commentators lamented the state of the nation, attributing Nigeria’s myriad challenges to a combination of leadership failures, systemic corruption, and a dearth of genuine accountability mechanisms.
