One of the strategies President Goodluck Jonathan has now decided to use in his fight against Senator Bukola Saraki and the state Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed is to starve the state of funds and this, he allegedly implemented in the latest federal allocation to the state and local governments in the state.
Competent sources, including the
state Commissioner for Finance, who also doubles as the Chairman of the state’s
Joint Account Allocation Committee, Alhaji Damola Nurudeen Banu, disclosed that
the state was short paid by N1.5 Billion last month.
Sources said that President
Jonathan discovered that Senator Bukola Saraki does not like him and that he
has been instigating other top shots in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against
him.
Some of the gladiators the
President allegedly accused Saraki of using against him included former Bayelsa
State governor, Timipre Silva, former governor James Ibori of Delta State, who
is serving a jail term in London, former governor Lucky Igbinedion of Edo State
and Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers States.
“The President has got hold of
some evidences bothering on financial recklessness that he would use against
Senator Bukola Saraki that could land him in jail,” said our source, who added
that Saraki was accused of holding secret meetings with his alleged cohorts to
fight the President.
According to sources, President
Jonathan has vowed to use all means to get Kwara State back for the PDP in the
forthcoming 2015 General Elections.
