The flagbearers of the All Progressive Congress in the forthcoming Chairmanship and Counsellorship Elections are reported to have started celebrating victory ahead of the November 18 poll. THE INFORMANT247 can authoratively report.
The aspirants, according to close sources, have started celebrating victories and allocating position to friends and supporters riding on the wide popularity and acceptance of the senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki who is believed to be the Godfather of Kwara politics.
“As we all know, anyone that Saraki nominate as the flagbearer of the party is sure to win as far as Kwara is concern today. I can confirm to you that most of our party men have started rejoicing with the aspirants already” said an All Progressive Congress member who only gave his name as Abubakar.
“It is soo sad that election are now determined by a few minority today in Kwara State. This is not what we used to have before. In those days, people were given the freedom to vote for candidate of their choice without someone sitting at his comfort zone and ordering the manipulation of Election result. It soo sadden and unhealthy for our democracy. I will call on all Kwara state citizen to wake up and vote for their preferred candidates in the upcoming poll. They should not allow anybody to manipulate the result of the Election.” Said one of our sources who pleaded anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
However, some people have continue to blame the opposition party for thier failure in giving the All Progressive Congress (APC) a tough time in the upcoming election.
“How can you even think of the PDP (People’s Democratic Party) candidates winning the chairmanship and councillorship election when they cannot hold an ordinary ward election. They have such a quack leadership and that is why the senate President influence continue to wax day in day out. We don’t have an opposition party in Kwara at all” -lamented one of the religious leaders who confided in our correspondant on the condition of Anonymity.
Recall that the Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed, has flag-off the campaign of the All Progressives Congress in Ilorin lastweek Wednesday ahead of the forthcoming local government elections in the state.
