Speaking with journalists in Ilorin during the sixth remembrance prayer for his father, Senator Saraki, a former Governor of Kwara State, explained that Comrade Oshiomhole, the chairman of the All Progressives Congress does not even have any moral ground to continue to be in politics.
Senator Saraki, who has since joined the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP from the APC said Comrade Oshiomhole should leave politics because he is “somebody who has been told to have been collecting not even naira but dollars from candidates and he is being accused by his party’s aspirants and governors.”
He said: “I don’t think he has any moral ground, even to continue to be in politics not to talk about being a chairman of a party.”

He adds: “There is no other direct or indirect relation of Okorocha in his government. So, as it stands now, Rochas is the only Okorocha running election.”
“But Oshiomhole is the known family dynasty builder. And Edo State is the victim. In fact, he is the architect of “familiocracy”.
