An indigenous sociopolitical group, Patigi Political Front, PPF, in Patigi Local Government Area of Kwara State has admonished in blame, the former President of the Senate, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki for the retrogression caused the area by him over the deplorable condition of their roads in the area.

The Patigi community made the call on Saturday after the visit by the former President of the Senate, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki to the area, on a commiserating visit over the passing of its Emir, the Late Alhaji Sa’adu Kawu Haliru.
The group in its statement chided Senator Saraki for his involvement in the contract for the road, which has for long been abandoned by the contractor.

He noted that the bad road network often limited expected income from their agricultural produce such as rice, cassava and yam, saying their worst nightmares were during the rainy season.

“Senator Bukola Saraki, now that you have been to Patigi and seen the state of the road which you influenced to be awarded by President Buhari at the sum of N8 billion to yourself and your acolytes. We would be expecting you to direct your contractor back to site to do the work or you return your share of the looted contract sum immediately.

“Your crime is unforgivable to us in Kwara North, you did the same scam on the Kishi to Kaiama road we are counting and would continue to voice out atrocities about how we got to this sorry situation during your reign, ” the statement read.

Signed

Alhaji Yahaya Mohammed
President, Patigi Political Front.
