Good morning, my dear brother and friend, Oluwa Harabb Morniy. Thanks but no thanks for your advice. I hope you’re also done with your own court case which I have shown magnanimity not to speak about nor politicize. Staying quiet on certain issues is what is expected from a brother, but I am not surprised after seeing you all in the isolated garage politicize the death of several individuals, including the “mother” of Saraki, to revive his dead political career.
Please use the advice for your own case, especially now that your leader is depressed with a high rate of abandonment. If Saraki understood loyalty and reward system like the garment you’re trying hard to wear for AA, a Bolaji Abdullahi would have been kept as a family after sacrificing all and getting nothing but suspicion despite worshipping Saraki. This is where his wife’s romantic skills and not her lies about her husband building Ilorin Airport and Government House should come into play because depression is real, especially after having a stressful dance in the market square without good results in back-to-back elections.
This verse of the holy scripture should help you at this point, my brother:
Or how can you say to your neighbour, “Let me take the speck out of your eye’ while the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbour’s eye.” (Matthew 7:3-5).
Let me also use this opportunity to hint to you that Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has given me what Bukola Saraki never gave any of you, my brother, at my age. I am well-travelled internationally with relevant exposure, knowledge and qualifications to live a good life after office, just like several others in the AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq School of Leadership. I am more educated than anyone of my age in Saraki’s media circle; I have obtained two Postgraduate certifications, with the third underway. I have obtained professional career certifications including but not limited to Associate Member, Advertising Registration Council of Nigeria (ARCON) and Associate Member, Nigeria Institute of Public Relations (NIPR). This is after graduating from the prestigious Nigerian Institute of Journalism. You can fact-check these records. All this was fully paid for personally without taking a kobo from the government by Governor AbdulRazaq. Those who know my story understand that AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq paid for the full treatment of my mother, who couldn’t walk properly for years even before he became governor. According to Prophet Muhammad SAW, “Heaven lies beneath the feet of your mother.” Can I say Governor AbdulRazaq have helped me secure something precious that this world is in line with the Prophet’s teaching? I hope Saraki did the same for you, my brother.
Today, I am his son, a family-level Bolaji Abdullahi and all of you in the Saraki media of today couldn’t attain this despite sacrificing all for Saraki. You all still operate at the boss-to-slave level, only boasting about getting a contract while he reigned for 16 years. How many of the contracts did àlbar̃kā̀ follow?
Governor AbdulRazaq has also paid for another postgraduate program for me because that’s what a father should do. Ensuring your children grow and achieve their goals in life is what fathers do. Is Saraki playing any fatherly role on any of you in his media team? Think about it, my brother.
None of you in my age bracket who served Saraki in his media paid attention to personal development because he made sure he kept you all in attack dog mode only giving bones at intervals after all none of you was found worthy to serve as his official media aide while he was in office for 16 years, to the glory of God I am the first person to occupy the Office as Special Assistant, New Media and Senior Special Assistant, New Media. This honour was not found worthy to bestow on any of you who were Saraki’s data boys throughout his reign. The political office may mean nothing to those who have not married, but trying to advise a person with 4 wives, if you have not occupied the office, you can not understand the weight; the best you can do is to mock what you never had. Stop thinking that all appointees will end up like the ones still looking for their bearing at one hotel in GRA. Personal growth will stand out to most of us; AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq was a successful and respected businessman who made his first billions at a very young age. He is doing all he can to breed more young ones that will be giants in their territories, too, in future. Growth takes time; please be patient with us. The fruits don’t manifest on the first day it was planted. The office I occupy is what made your leader personally swear an affidavit for a lawsuit; if it was Solace, the nobody, he would have simply ignored it. Who made Solace? His father, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq. I hope you get the mathematics. You can only imagine the network that the office has provided. Caveat: Mr Saraki and Solace are two big men in court. Maybe if we flashback 10 years ago when I was criticizing him, and he saw it as a comment of a nobody, it will help us get the picture of my life today under AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
I also didn’t have to wait to travel with Saraki after he left the office for pilgrimage to help him package the image that he had learnt about youth inclusion from AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq before the world knew I could travel. That’s not youth inclusion or youth empowerment; that’s face-saving. He can reach out to Governor AbdulRazaq for the blueprint on youth inclusion, development and empowerment. I can also help him speak to my father on his behalf for six-month adult education on good governance, youth inclusion and developmental leadership instead of going abroad. We shouldn’t be putting too much pressure on dollars especially when it can be taught in Ilorin.
AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq guided me on the path of honour to the point that I can travel on my own with my family even after office if we so wish. He has ensured we have a name and can also push our family’s names without having to put “Saraki” as a compound name like the empty garage operates because the belief in your camp is that without the name, there can’t be individual growth and success.
I can continue to speak on how Governor AbdulRazaq has lifted youths across the state but I hope my own little revelation will help you understand that we can always mind our business because age mate doesn’t equate to grace mate. Let’s not be a political moral police.
Let me pause here and not limit lawsuits to media trials as I wish you well in your ongoing court case, my brother, the unappointed adviser on lawsuits to the Taxi without a garage.
Kind Regards.
