Former Governor of Kwara State, Senator Bukola Saraki, visited Oyo State on Monday to meet with Governor Seyi Makinde to discuss the repair of the PDP's structure.  He came with another member of the reconciliation committee of the party, former governor of Gombe state, Ibrahim Dankwambo.

PDP is a party that developed along the lines of the old NPC and the NPN.  Saraki's father was one of the most influential members of the NPN, where he became the Senate leader. These parties were founded to promote Fulani hegemony over the nation.

That was the agenda of the founders of Nigeria, the British colonial masters, and that is for reasons best known to them.

Over the years, their sympathizers began to dwindle mainly because Nigeria continued to regress under their watch and that of their protégés.  Ironically, a minority group has been saddled with the Herculean task of leading Nigeria, and they have a penchant for picking the worst among them to lead so that they'll be in control of him to manipulate him.

One thing, though, by sharing enrichment, they have managed to win followers all around the nation.

Since politics is for the development of the nation and the people of the nation, they have their patronage.

The Fulanis have a tool with which they strengthen themselves in leadership in Nigeria, and that is the 'propagation of Islam'.

On the other hand, a progressive view that broadly disagrees with the idea that a tribe will determine the leadership of the nation under any circumstance is also being championed by the Yorubas, and part of their belief is that they, too, can rule Nigeria.

Their political platform now is the APC, which is at the helm of affairs presently in Nigeria.  The conservative elements find it difficult to cope with a government that doesn't give power to the Fulanis as a right they feel they have to return to power or lose all relevance, and their champions, Atiku and El-Rufai, are searching for a platform to use for their move against the APC.

Saraki's mission is to recreate PDP as a worthy platform attractive enough to keep the interests of the conservatives.

Who are the progressives? We must wait to find out.
