Confab: No hidden agenda - Gbemisola Saraki

Date: 2014-08-18

A former senator representing Kwara Central senatorial district and member of the national conference, Senator Gbemisola Rukayat Saraki, has allayed fears of Nigerians on the final report of the just-concluded conference, saying there was no any hidden agenda.

Some Nigerians in certain quarters had been describing the confab as a waste of time and public resources, while they said that it was set up to achieve an agenda of the current government.

However, speaking with journalists in Ilorin at the weekend, Senator Saraki, who is a sister to the former governor of Kwara State, said Nigerians only believe in conspiracy theory, stressing that there was nothing unusual or unnatural about the national conference.

“You know we Nigerians believe in conspiracy theory and I think all of us should be writing books on this. Everyone believes there’s a hidden agend”, she said.

Senator Saraki, who said Nigerians should encourage opportunities to discuss national issues all the time, lamented that “it’s unfortunate our system, the way it is, does not allow or encourage that.”

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, who described the chances of the only opposition party in Kwara State as bright, said the wind of change is around for all to feel and that PDP will win in the next general election in the state.

She encouraged people in the state to register in the ongoing voters registration exercise, saying they needed to register to be able to vote and to make a difference.

“At the end of the day, it’s the government of the people, by the people and for the people. And if the people will not participate, then we’ll have no right to complain. This is our way of changing things. This is our way to make our voices heard. This is how we tell whoever will govern us that this is how we want to be governed and when we want to be governed.

“I implore everybody to go out and get registered and more importantly come out to vote on the day of election,” she said.
