KWARA PDP GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION:THE TRIUMPHANT OF A VISIONARY LEADER, YAMAN, BEST INTEREST OF TRUE DEMOCRACY.

By IBRAHIM, Ridwan Integrity

Just as we had anticipated, the state of harmony was agog last night at the outcome of the PDP Gubernatorial election. And once again, a widespread joyful mood was witnessed across the whole 16 local governments in Kwara state, following the emergence and announcement of Alhaji Shuaibu Abdullahi Yaman as the PDP Gubernatorial flag bearer. 

His emergence has once again lent credence to the appealing fact that YAMAN wields tremendous respect among Kwarans and his Philanthropic disposition particularly among the local natives cannot be easily surpassed by the collective members of the opposition parties in the state. 

It is gratifying to note that Alhaji Shuaibu Abdullahi Yaman has not only proven himself to be one of the greatest successors of the legendary and foremost Oloye Olusola Saraki, but his emergence as the Kwara state PDP gubernatorial flag bearer has also left an indelible imprint and honour to the foxy fortress of the legendary Oloye Olusola Saraki. 

On behalf of the teeming Nigerian youths and well-meaning Nigerians, I heartily felicitate the gladiator with a jewelled crown. Sir, you have just set a standard with the astronomical and unsurpassable votes that led to your emergence as the Kwara PDP flag bearer. And it just turned out to be one of the biggest landslides and unprecedented victories in the political history of Kwara state. it can only be YAMAN.

Contrary to the popular perception that "Delegates only vote for money and not individuals with credibility" Kwara PDP delegates have just changed the narrative by pitching their tent behind the man with the largest heart, Alhaji Shuaibu Abdullahi Yaman, based on the 3C's of leadership- Competence, capability and character. The delegates couldn't ignore the fact that Alhaji Shuaibu Abdullahi Yaman is an embodiment of credibility, integrity, selflessness and accountability, and his later emergence as the Kwara state Governor come 2023 will be a unique turning point in the political history of the state.

Though, before the election that was held last night at the Arca Santa Event Center, The Kwara PDP under the tutelage of their National leader - Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki had earlier shrugged off some political shots, sniped by the " money-grubbing political snipers"  hired to desolate the just concluded internal selection process or primary election. But at the end of the primary election last night, the will of the majority finally prevailed with the emergence of Alhaji Shuaib Abdullah YAMAN as the PDP gubernatorial flag bearer given his antecedents and track records in the nation's political milieu which stands out glaringly.

Quoting from one of my articles titled " Open letter to Dr Bukola Saraki: Don't subscribe to the deceitful mechanisms of political snipers; it is unhealthy"  I quote " I implore you to shrug off the deceitful mechanisms of the political snipers who are working relentlessly to destabilize the forthcoming Kwara PDP gubernatorial primary or internal selection process and reverting it to a state of primitive political basis". Your track records of unwavering leadership have once again preceded your Excellency as you have created a level playing ground for all the aspirants to test their popularity and capacity in front of the good people of Kwara.

given his wide experience in the political arena of the country, and going by the enviable credentials of Alhaji Shuaib Abdullah YAMAN, he is indeed no doubt a leader to reckon with. 

Dear Kwaran's, let's give the mandate to the monument of munificence and an icon of equitable temperament.
