A former Senate president, Bukola Saraki, has spoken about the demolition of a house belonging to his late father in Ilorin by the Kwara state government.
The Herald gathered that Saraki, in a series of tweets on Thursday, January 2, said justice will prevail over the demolition of the property.
The former Senate president, however, commended the people, both young and old, who showed support to his late father and the family over the development.
The tweets read: “Following development this morning in Ile Arugbo, I want to commend the women, men, old and young, who displayed their affection, love and staunch support for my late father and the family.
“I appreciate the genuine support of the women and youths who stood firmly in the face of aggression and naked show of force.
Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki.
“Your action throughout the night gave full expression to my belief that what Ile Arugbo represents to all of us is etched in our hearts. It goes beyond the physical structure. I am happy that you were not intimidated as you stood your ground.
“This day will go down as the day you reciprocated the love and affection my father and family have for you. You have displayed a gesture of goodwill and passionate love. We assure you that justice shall prevail in a not too distant future.”
