Saraki’s Rising Profile

Without exaggeration, former Senate President, Abubakar Bukola Saraki, is fast proving to his detractors that he is indeed a cat with nine lives. The more they try to bury him, the more he sprouts like a seed on fertile land.

He has faced many challenges that would ordinarily consume a lily-livered. But the former Senator has proven beyond reasonable doubt that he is indeed a warrior and a master of the game. Even though the former Kwara State governor appears to be a lone fighter, many of his enemies are never his match.

How? You may wonder. Last Tuesday, he was given a rousing welcome when he arrived in his hometown, Ilorin, for the Eid-el-Kabir celebration, amidst an uproarious shout of “Say Buki,” by his fans.

The development, in the eyes of many, suggests that the revered politician, despite his recent loss in the last general election, still commands a lot of respect in Kwara State politics.
