THE BERLIN WALL IN MY SPEECH WAS IN REFERENCE TO STRANGLED HOLD OF SARAKI POLITICAL DYNASTY ON KWARA POLITICS.-LAI MOHAMMED.{PHOTO}.#PRESS RELEASE.

    PRESS STATEMENT My attention has been drawn to a press conference addressed by the Ilorin Emirate Magaji/Alangua Forum in Ilorin on Tuesday, 4 Dec. 2018, during which I was alleged to have said that the 'Berlin Wall' of the Ilorin Emirate had been broken by the outcome of the 17 Nov. 2018 by-election in the Ekiti/Irepodun/Isin/Oke-Ero Federal Constituency of Kwara State. Those who made the allegation referred to a news item published in The Nation newspaper of Monday, 19 Nov.  2018, entitled ''Kwara Berlin Wall Broken, Says Lai Mohammed''. While it is indeed true that I mentioned the Berlin Wall in my speech at the victory rally in my country home in Oro on Sunday, 18 Nov.2018, it was undoubtedly in reference to the stranglehold of the Saraki political dynasty on Kwara politics. Not once did I mention the Ilorin Emirate during that speech, and I challenge anyone who has any evidence to the contrary to release such. It is instructive that the news i
