Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki has reacted to the demolition of his father home by governor AbdulRazaq AbdulRahman led Kwara state government.
The property, popularly called Ile Arugbo was pulled down in the early hours of Thursday, January 2, 2020.
In his reaction via a facebook post in the evening of Thursday, the politician who suffered a humiliating defeat during the 2019 general election thanked those who came out in protest against the state government move.
Here is Mr Saraki’s reaction…
“Following the development this morening in Ile Arugbo, I want to commend the women and men, old and young, who displayed their affection, love and staunch support for my late father and the family. I appreciate the genuine support of the women and youths who stood firmly in the face of aggression and naked show of force.
“Your action throughout the night gave full expression to my belief that what Ile Arugbo represents to all of us is etched in our hearts. It goes beyond the physical structure. I am happy that you were not intimidated as you stood your ground. This day will go down as the day you reciprocated the love and affection my father and family have for you.
You have displayed a gesture of goodwill and passionate love. We assure you that justice shall prevail in a not too distant future.
May God bless us all.
