THE Youth wing of the Kwara State All Progressive Congress (APC) has called for the suspension of Senate President Bukola Saraki over what it described as a display of anti-party activities.
It accused the Senate President of not only encouraging various anti-party activities but also ignoring various derogatory statements about the party.
In a communique issued and signed by its General Secretary, Abubakar Jimba, after their meeting on Tuesday, he said allowing Saraki to remain in APC is detrimental to the progress of the party in the state and at the federal level as well.
According to him, his suspension will enable the party to build a structure that will put an end to unemployment and poverty in the State.
“The exit of his political associate Kawu Baraje, his Chief of Staff Baba Ahmed and all other Federal Law Makers from Kwara State is a pointer to this.
“The likes of Bolaji Abdullahi who is a stooge of the Senate president is still very much active in the party and this is simply the brainchild of a man who has over the years entrenched a pseudo developmental ideology into his core values and this is nothing but the ugly experience Kwarans had in the past in the making.

“If the Senate president is suspended and eventually banished from the APC then the party will be able to go back to the drawing board and build a structure that will be expeditious enough to bring an end to poverty, gross unemployment and other aberrations from the norms and values that have become the other of the day in the state.
“We must remind everyone that no one is bigger than the party, the party is supreme to every member,” the group said.
He said having been elected as a Senate President under the APC, his action demoralizes the members of the party.
“We hereby demand the Suspension of Sen. Saraki from the party as a disciplinary action, this will further establish that discipline exists in our party as against other parties where they can do this and go away with it.
“The future of Kwara state looks very bleak when a fief and the most sinister motive driven figure in the state’s political space has taken over the affairs of both parties recognised in the state.
“Do we need a soothsayer to tell us that gross inconsequentialness and underdevelopment will continue to be the lot of the hoi polloi if the situation is not rescued by the APC led federal government administration.
“The Senate president Bukola Saraki has always been known as the master of shenanigan and now APC is giving him what looks like a level field playing ground to orchestrate the same technique he used in 2015 to defeat the peoples democratic party in the state.”
