Kwara Monarchs Speak On Saraki's Trial, Allege Persecution

Traditional rulers in Kwara state have condemned the
trial of Bukola Saraki , the Senate president before the
Code of Conduct Tribunal.
According to the monarchs, led by Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-
Gambari, their chairman and Emir of Ilorin, Saraki’s trial
was not the change mantra of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) Nigerians bargained for.
Speaking yesterday on behalf of the traditional leaders,
Sulu-Gambari said was not wise to persecute perceived
political enemy.
He said: “ We come here to join our son (Bukola Saraki) with
whom we are much pleased. We are ready to support him.
We are here to see him on the various constitutional
challenges, we would not call it problem, may God not make
it a problem for us.
“ It doesn’t take long for a 10- year old child to realize that
our dear son, our precious son is being persecuted. The
politics of persecution is not the right change for Nigeria. We
want changes, we want it to be clean. He who seeks equity
must come with clean hands. If you want equity, you
yourself must do equity .”
Sulu- Gambari therefore called on Nigerians to beware of
bad elements who are bent on dismantling the country on
account of political vendetta.
