Bukola Saraki – Nigerian Politician

Date 2017-01-17

As the leader of a supreme political dynasty, Bukola Saraki figured out how to become the senate president by hatching an illicit but strong relationship with people from the opposition. As the heir to the Saraki armor, he survived a protracted trial held at the Code of Conduct Tribunal and a criminal investigation into the standing rules of the senate that got him elected as the president.

 

He assumed office in 2015, as the President of the Senate of Nigeria. Before that, he was the Governor of Kwara State until 2011, representing the Central senatorial district. Right now, he is a member of the All Progressives Congress but he used to be a member of the People’s Democratic Party.

 

President Olusegun Obasanjo appointed Saraki as the Special Assistant to the President in 2000. During his time in politics, he started the Fiscal Responsibility Bill. Not to mention the fact that he also was on the Economic Policy Coordination Committee, where he formulated and implemented many key economic policies in Nigeria. One of his greatest achievements in politics was starting the Shonga Farms programme in Nigeria. In 2016, Saraki was named one of the 100 most influential people in Nigeria by Y! or Ynaija.com.

 

The unisex name Bukola is a Yoruba name that is derived from Bun Kun Ola, which means “bless honor” or “blessing upon honor”. There are a few notable people with the name, from Bukola Abogunloko the Nigerian sprinter to Bukola Oriola a Nigerian-American journalist, even Bukola Elemide the Nigerian French singer-songwriter.
