The Kwara state government led by AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has been at loggerheads with the Saraki family since it came into office in 2019.
Interestingly, Gbemi, the first daughter of the Late Saraki is a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) like the state governor.
Some followers of Senator Saraki on Facebook also commented on the information.

“But why now? What offence has the deceased committed? I am not a politician and don't have sympathy for any political party, but the callous action of the governor should be condemned by peace-loving people of Kwara state. Enough of this campaign of calumny and reprisal attack! Rest in peace Baba Saraki.”

Abdurazaq and Saraki's rivalry
On Tuesday, July 20, things almost went haywire at the Eid praying ground in Ilorin, as supporters of Governor Abdulrazaq and Saraki engaged in a shouting match.
It was a hectic task for security operatives who tried to restore normalcy.
It was learnt that the Kwara governor had to exit the venue along with some of his supporters as things were beginning to get out of control.
