<\/p>\nOyinkansola said her late father prepared the political ground in Kwara State, hence he should be immortalised.<\/p>\n
In a statement she personally signed, Oyinkansola also enjoined the governor-elect not to allow the political leaning of her brother and current President of the Senate stop him from honouring their father.<\/p>\n
According to her: \u201cCongratulations, governor-elect, Abdulrahman Abdulrazak. I am appealing to you sir to immortalise my father, Dr Olusola Saraki, the man believed to be the strong pillar of Kwara State politics during his lifetime.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith all due respect sir, may I remind you that my father single-handedly established political grounds in Kwara State in the Second Republic.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt may interest you to know that most governors of the state rode on his popularity and influence to the corridors of power; they include Adamu Atta, Cornelius Adebayo, Mohammed Lawal and his son, Bukola Saraki.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything Bukola is today was my father\u2019s doing, yet he could not think of honouring his father by immortalising him.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt just shows the kind of son he is. I acknowledge that my brother may have stepped on people\u2019s toes but sir, my father deserves to be honoured in Kwara State.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe you will serve the people of Kwara well. I know you are a man of integrity. I am appealing to you sir in the name of Allah to do this for me so that my father\u2019s name and all he has put into the development of Kwara State will not perish.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
