Oshiomhole explained that Saraki was the “smartest political player and seasoned smart guy”, hence uprooting his structures in the state was tough.
Fielding questions from State House correspondents after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja, Monday, Oshiomhole said he used Oto’ge movement to uproot Saraki’s political structure in Kwara State.
He said: “Remember I was saying that Saraki must be removed, people would say how would I do it? I said okay if he resists removal, then we would uproot. We went to Kwara, we did Oto ge, we uprooted Saraki, and you cannot commend me for this? You know who Saraki is?
“If you are talking of the most smartest political player, seasoned smart guy, he is. But for every smartness he has, I have a superior smartness. At the end of the day who won? As a senate president, we uprooted him as senator, we uprooted his nominee for governor, and senators, we put our own.
“Today, he doesn’t have one senator in Kwara, he doesn’t have one House of Representatives in Kwara. Everything in Kwara is APC and you can’t commend me for that? If you don’t, then I will be like the lizard – I will praise myself if you State House Correspondents don’t praise me.”

ReplyDeleteYou couldn't have said it better than you just did. Oshiomhole, we will also be watching how your superior smartness will play out in your own state with Obaseki. While we wait on that, remember, nothing last forever. Yesterday it was Oyegun, tomorrow it will be another.

ReplyDeleteThis man sha talks too much for his age.He no dey big pass something?
ReplyDelete12:32 you're so right.
ReplyDeleteI'm not for Saraki but Oshiomole talks damn too much!
Does he think he won't be seen without the noise?
Pride goes before a fall!
Uprooted saraki with the help of another Saraki, who would now be a minister. In the end, the Saraki dynasty always wins. I hope kwara and kwarans will be truly liberated one day. To think the Saraki's are not even originally from kwara!
ReplyDeleteOga Oshiomole..Keep quiet..You didn't do anything..Kwarans are tired of half/Non payment of salaries.Kwarans are not tooo overambitious, if they were paying their salaries and doing small small Project ,they would have voted for him.
DeleteWhich Saraki did Oshiomole uproot? Which Kwarans voted? Everybody knows that Fatah Ahmed sold out to Lai Mohammed and Tinubu. Uprooted is uprigging
