KWARA GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION; High-wire Politics by the Band of Deceptive Preachers in Ótógè's Crusade is a Scattered Brain Idea

Just before the Eid el Mubarak festival that was held on the 9th of July 2022, Alhaji Shuaibu Abdullahi YAMAN felicitated with Muslims in kwara State by extending his arm of love once again both in cash and gift items just as he had always done in the past. The people of kwara North cannot be more grateful to be blessed with such a fine son with unmatched philanthropic disposition.

It was however to the greatest surprise of Kwarans that one anonymous and deceptive author who decided to perpetrate his evil behind the scene titled a somewhat dishonest article "Kwara North Youths Disappointed as YAMAN Shuns Kwara for Kaduna". Disappointed? Funny as it sounds because just by simply putting two and two together, kwarans were quick to realize the hypocrisy contained in the article and knew the embittered conspirators had struck once again.

The legitimate and unbiased sons and daughters of the Kwara North are all living witnesses to the undiluted love Alhaji Shuaibu Abdullah YAMAN has for his hometown. He has always proven himself beyond politics by being available to his people before festive periods and treasured every moment he spent with them as "Eid-el Mubarak", the blessed moment or holiday. These noble people of the kwara North are also not unaware of the fact that the unforseen absence of Alhaji Shuaib Abdullah YAMAN at such a blessed festival was not in his best interest as he would always wished he was with them. Unlike politicians who have chosen the Eid festival as the only avenue to relate with their people at the grassroot, Alhaji Shuaibu Abdullahi YAMAN has always reiterated his love for his people beyond politics and had always made himself available to them. That's the truest and the most genuine love one can ever imagine.

The Kwara North Youth Advocate (KNYP) President, Zakari Ndanusa who signed the article will only be taken serious if he provides instances where he had appreciated Alhaji Shuaibu Abdullahi YAMAN for his presence at the Eid festivals he had attended in the past and his unrelenting contributions so far towards the development of the kwara North both before, during and after the festive periods. 

As a constructive critique of all governments, I would implore Mr Zakari to be rational when  picking side with the supposedly apolitical forum he is leading by putting into consideration that the Kwara North, a senatorial district in the state that has been marginalized, suffered neglect and relegation projecting her as a backwater along the line of politics and economy since 1999. 

With Alhaji Shuaibu Abdullahi YAMAN as the PDP Gubernatorial flag bearer, the Kwara North is now being given a rare opportunity to liberate themselves from the clutches of the profiteers whose continued reign would not birth any remarkable changes beyond a ring road in the district. I believe the people of the Kwara North would rather cast their bloc vote for the golden son of the soil, Alhaji Shuaibu Abdullahi YAMAN come 2023 General elections.

Ironically, "I do not envy him a bit" as Gov. AA would always say. But aside from the fact that   his SA New Media, Mr Fafoluyi Olayinka Solace is causing embarrassment to the office of the New Media, his "High-wire media misconduct" which is often demonstrated through his Facebook posts shows the extent to which subversive element like him and his data boys could go to manipulate the kwara North and spreading dangerously inaccurate and inciting rumours against Alhaji Shuaibu Abdullahi YAMAN and Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki as the 2023 General elections approach.

 

The campaign of calumny embarked upon by these political snipers can only be likened to a cockroach whose desire to survive even after receiving the hardest stomp and stampedes from a timberland or NYSC jungle boot is very strong as it doesn't die easily and when it eventually does, it leaves a very offensive odour behind. Their unrelenting effort to continue to discredit the PDP candidates in the state shows how far they can go in fulfilling their greed.

These political cockroaches have overtime proven themselves to be shameless in the pursuit of their political desire. Kwarans are no more surprised by their innuendos, but they only took it farther this time around by disrespecting The Emir of Ilorin, His Royal Highness, Alhaji (Dr) Ibrahim Sulu Gambari, CFR, Mai Martaba Sarkin Ilorin and the Chairman, Kwara State Council of Chiefs by alleging him of sending off his highly revered  honorary chief, the Waziri of Ilorin, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki to prevent chaos and disruption at the Eid ground. This was indeed an outright falsehood and another height of their treacherous plans to spark violence in a state that is renown for her peace and harmony.

The Governor of Kwara State, Abdulrahaman Abdulrasaq together with unmatched and overwhelming numerical presence of Saraki's supporters and fans at the same Eid praying ground shows how panic striken he must have been, watching the shouting eureka that accompanied the name Sai Bukky at his sight .That was enough of a threat for the embittered conspirators to strike once again because they believe that Saraki's presence at the Eid prayer ground was an extention of his political campaign and an avenue to test his electoral influence. 

Just as kwarans had earlier presumed, the articles signed by the trio and APC underlings ; Rafiu Ajakaye, Alhaji Bashir Adigun, and Fafoluyi Olayinka Solace have further lent credence to the public assumption about the prime mover of the chaos that prevented the Emir of Ilorin, His Royal Highness, Alhaji (Dr) Ibrahim Sulu Gambari, CFR from reading his speech at the Eid prayer ground for the first time in history. The hands of Esau in the unfortunate incidence are no strangers and the voice of Jacob was clearly heard loudly.

The perpetrators will definitely reap a bounty harvest for the shame and humiliation they brought upon us. 

 With Alhaji Shuaibu Abdullahi YAMAN'S emergence as the Governor of Kwara State come 2023 general elections, Kwara State will be breaking the yoke that floats enduring policies and ensure that policies are immune from failures.
