How not to be a godfather

Olusola Saraki,Example of a bad Godfather
i feel sorry for youth queuing behind lie just to eat for today and to serve another mans interest for the whole of their life. the same way our fathers did that lead us to this bad situation.
Taking you down the memory lane
in 1979, saraki presented Adamu Attah for Governor,as a good candidate for all to support.Kwarans supported him and gave him the mandaten to0 lead the state for better development.
After ruling his tenure, Saraki came back to say Adamu attah, a candidate he presented was a bad leader.
In 1983, he brought C.O Adebayo as the credible candidate,kwarans embraced him in on hearing the voice of their hero.
After rulling, he Saraki came back to say Adebayo is bad.
in 1992, he brought Saba lafiaji to be the trusted and tested candidate,he once again got the mandate from the people.
After ruling, Saraki came back again to say saba is another evil candidate he misplaced for good.
1n 1999, he brought lawal, after some years,he came back to condemned him which lead to violence all across he state.
in 2003, he brought is son bukola,The people still believe in him(Saraki) and supported him, by giving his son the mandate to take kwara to the next level.
now he is back again. He has come back with his old trick and story. He has condemned his own biological son bukola saraki as bad and want to replace him with daughter.
What that means is as follows:
1. Saraki Lack the sense of identifying a good leader, if he chooses 5 people to lead on different occasions and non of this five came out to be good, confirmed by him.
2. If the same saraki who chosed them as good candidates, came back in five occasion to say they are bad, it means that saraki himself is bad.
3. If saraki as choosed 5 people and all came out to bad,that means the next one he will be choosing will also turn out to be the same as others (bad)
With the following outlined,i hereby state categorically that any candidate, i repeat, any or i should say all candidate coming from saraki will always be a bad and therefore should not be supported by any reasonable person, young or old.
If Saraki as been making this selection from his young age and its turning out to be bad at the end, it is certain that his choice while at this age will be extremely bad,poor and wrong.
Talking about his son, Bukola saraki.
Another example of his father.His father Olusola saraki thought him everything he knew today,he believed in him so much than anyon else,he even made him the Governor of a state.
If his father is this bad in choosing,its clear he will take after his father (a bad leader). this can further be confirmed by his father's condemnation. His father olusola saraki who made him the Governor, came out publicly to say his son is bad, meaning he his indeed bad and would never make a good choice. So, anything coming from the saraki family should be generally rejected by the general public.
SEE EXAMPLE OF A GOOD LEADER IN COMRADE GBENGA OLAWEPO.
Gbenga Toyosi Olawepo (born 28 June 1965) is a Nigerian politician.
The name Olawepo first made the headlines when as an anti-apartheid activist he and three other students’ leaders of the University of Lagos were clamped into the over-crowded Nigeria Police cell in April 1989 after an anti apartheid protest.
The former student union leader has distinguished himself in partisan politics. The Nigerian Tribune, a newspaper founded by the late Nigerian Nationalist leader, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, captured this properly. The newspaper sometimes ago wrote: “In the political firmament of Nigeria, there are young Saraki’s, young Azikiwe’s, young Adedoyin’s who are children of established political and financial magnates but there are few names that have made it on their own to the political centre stage like Gbenga Olawepo, a rising star with no fall back platform or push of any godfather or back up of any financial empire. Talking of emerging political leaders this is a true discovery’’.
Olawepo again displayed courage when General Abacha suddenly died in 1998, on the eve of the consummation of his planned transmutation into a civilian dictator. The duo of Olawepo and Dan Nwanyawu, now National Chairman of Labour Party, co-ordinating with Jerry Gana, moved into Fort IBB- a military barrack in Abuja, which housed the then Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Ishaya Bamayi -a key member of the military high command, to deliver a memorandum suggesting some direction for the transition to democracy. Interestingly, the final programme of transition reflected substantially their input. But it was a risky venture done when the destiny of the nation was hanging in the balance and when there was massive troop movement. Olawepo played prominent role in the transition process. In 1998/1999, he was the Secretary of the Women and Youth Development Committee of the Transition committee established by the then President-elect, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. He also assisted the then PDP Chief spokesperson – Senator Anietie Okon- in running the party’s vast information machinery at the period of campaign and during the transition.
A comprehensive write up shall be released about him soon.
