“The incoming All Progressives Congress (APC) administration will open a new page for Nigeria where things will be done properly”.
That was the position of the Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State and Chairman, Senate Committee on Environment, Dr. Bukola Saraki, on Tuesday.
Saraki, who spoke in Ilorin after he was declared winner of the Kwara Central Senatorial District, added that the landslide victory recorded in the North-Central state has vindicated the APC that “the peoples might is more than federal might”.
The former governor said the result of elections so far declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was victory for Nigerians and not APC alone.
He said the landslide victory recorded by the APC in the state during last Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly elections was not a fluke but a reflection of the commitment of the party’s leadership to good governance and connection with the people.
“The wind of change has come. We will open a new page for Nigerians where things will be done properly. I think for Nigerians, the victory is to be able to vote out an incumbent government. Nigerians have spoken rightly that they have the power to vote you in and power to vote you out and I think current people in government, including people like me, will sit up.
“I hope it will be a great lesson for politicians who believe in Abuja and Federal might. They have learnt their first lesson of politics that people’s might is more than federal might
and until they come to terms with this, they will continue to learn more lessons,” Saraki added.
He advised those who are yet to join the mainstream politics of the state to do so, stressing that the era of impunity in Nigeria had gone with the past.
The former governor particularly asked the people of Ekiti Local Government Area of the North-Central state, where the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate hails from, not to vote based on sentiments in the April 11 governorship elections because, according to him, “your son cannot be governor by winning only one local government”.
