VIDEO: This is how to present your candidate, Dr Saraki presented Engr Suleiman Bolakale Kawu as the Kwara PDP gubernatorial candidate to the Emir of Ilorin Alh Ibrahim Sulu Gambari (Shehu). That from governor Rahman was just a mere charade because as we speak, Kwara APC doesn’t have a guber candidate yet.

Na dem 😂
Dr. Bukola Saraki is somewhere right now thinking about where the problem comes from because It's AA on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and even on WhatsApp. Indeed, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq is loved by the young and old, men and women, and every living thing in Kwara State. Alhamdulillah. #IwàjúLàNlọ

During the good old days, when the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) enjoyed quality leadership and meaningful engagement, both the late Elder Joel Ogundeji and Peter Kishira delivered impressive presentations at NGF retreats while serving as deputy governors to Dr Bukola Saraki and Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed, from 2007–2011 and 2011–2019, respectively. Those were the days under Dr Saraki’s leadership when deputy governors were given the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to governance. In contrast, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has, in no meaningful capacity, allowed his deputy to function optimally. More concerning is that the governor himself hardly engages in even three-minute policy discussions where he can explain to Kwarans the rationale behind the allocation of public resources to one project or another at Ahmadu Bello Way. When State Executive Council meetings have become almost epileptic, how can anyone expect the deputy governor to function effectively? Reports of billions of naira being spent on official trips make the situation even more difficult to justify. How, then, do we explain a situation where the deputy governor reportedly has to resort to car hire services in Abuja? Those who were children yesterday must understand that, just like the governor, the deputy governor is also a state asset and deserves the necessary support, resources and institutional backing to function effectively. Again, AbdulRahman appears to have revived his familiar political gimmick of occasionally flying commercial airlines. The question Kwarans should be asking is simple: if billions of naira are reportedly being expended on official travels, how should we interpret the occasional sight of the governor boarding a commercial flight? Should such isolated optics be mistaken for modesty or prudent management of public resources? Governance is not about carefully managed public appearances; it is about transparency, accountability and responsible resource allocation. Support PDP! Vote PDP!!!

Saraki Donates N50m to Tackle 55-Year-Old Electricity Crisis in Offa Shehu Olarewaju, Chairman of the Ibolo Infrastructure and Power Consumer Forum from Offa, broke down in tears as he appreciated Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki. He reeled out institutions and communities that stand to benefit from Bukola Saraki’s intervention: Summit University, Lens University, Graceland Polytechnic, Lens Polytechnic, Pan African College of Health Technology, and Kwara State College of Health Technology. Also listed were Popo Secretariat Road, Ira Road, Osunte, and 57 more communities across Offa, Oyun, and parts of Asa and Irepodun.

“We heard that one party gave Offa Deputy Governor. Funny, the last time we had a Deputy Governor was during the time of the PDP in Kwara. The party that gave you Deputy Governor, ask them how their serving Deputy Governor is living, and ask him why the Governor is living large while his deputy is hopping from one Uber to the other whenever he visits Abuja.’ — HE @bukolasaraki at the Palace of Olofa Shots fired 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

My tour across Kwara South has officially begun! We kicked things off today in Erin Ile, Oyun LGA. Over the coming days, I will spend time with our people, visiting various communities across the district to listen to your concerns and share our vision for a more prosperous Kwara. Thank you, Erin Ile, for the incredibly warm reception! Abubakar Bukola Saraki.

My governor once said he could stay in a room with people for 10 days without speaking to anyone. So, let’s ask again: what exactly is Kwara Governor, @RealAARahman going to do in the Senate? Is he going there to take a much needed rest or simply to enjoy the title of being a Senator? Vote Turaki! Vote PDP!

I didn’t expect you to read it. I expected you to have the courage to defend your political hypocrisy and the candidate you’re busy doing PR for. But I guess sarcasm is easier when you have no answers. Keep dodging, Bash Omo GAA
I’m not reading all that, sorry about your cat I hope he recovers soonest.

When discussing KWASU, let's remember that behind every fee increase is a student and a family trying to make ends meet. Why did SYD not hold his own word? Is that who you want to govern our state? A serious education conversation must include students themselves. Their experiences with tuition, accommodation and other charges matter. #KWASUStudents #KwaraFirst #SBK2027 #StudentsMatter #SBK2027

The Abdulrahman led APC are crying already while their party is yet to present any policy drive. Kawu’s manifesto will be launched by next week Thursday, let’s see what the APC presents before Kwarans.
Kwara PDP gubernatorial candidate, Engr. Sulaiman Bolakale Kawu, has announced the unveiling of his manifesto for next Thursday. And already, one can anticipate the usual reaction from the AbdulRahman-led Kwara APC; a desperate attempt to discredit the manifesto, trade insults, spew hate and distract the public with politically motivated attacks. What they are unlikely to offer, however, is a serious policy alternative or a clear explanation of what their own candidate intends to do for the people of Kwara State. The truth is that they are comfortable with power but deeply uncomfortable with accountability. They want to govern without being questioned, enjoy public resources without providing convincing explanations, and silence criticism rather than address legitimate concerns. Governor AbdulRahman has yet to provide Kwarans with a comprehensive and transparent account of how the state’s resources have been managed and what tangible value the people have received in return. Accountability should not be a privilege granted at the government’s convenience; it is an obligation owed to the people. Even more revealing is the attitude towards public scrutiny. AbdulRahman is seeking election to the Senate, yet PDP candidate Senator Saliu Mustapha has challenged him to a public debate. This is an opportunity for both candidates to present their ideas, defend their records and demonstrate their understanding of the challenges facing Kwara. It is an opportunity for voters to assess vision, leadership, intellectual depth and capacity. But instead of embracing the opportunity to engage the people and demonstrate his readiness for the responsibility he seeks, AbdulRahman appears determined to avoid the debate. Why should a candidate seeking the mandate of the people be reluctant to defend his record and articulate his vision in a public forum? Kwarans deserve more than political propaganda, manufactured narratives and endless attacks on opposition voices. They deserve facts, policies, transparency and leadership that can withstand scrutiny. You cannot demand the people’s votes while running away from their questions. You cannot claim to have performed while refusing to defend your performance. Power without accountability is arrogance. Leadership without transparency is a disservice. And a candidate who seeks public office must be prepared to face the public, answer difficult questions and defend his record.

This is SA Political’s response to Kwara Governor @RealAARahman, announcing a mega empowerment programme of 5k, apparently intended to counter what Amba had done. You may not fully understand the extent of the hardship people are currently experiencing until you watch this video and listen to the reactions. The conventional practice of the AbdulRahman-led APC administration is to distort reality, blame everyone else for its failures, and then go as far as copying the very initiatives and strategies of those it seeks to discredit.

Press Release November 2, 2026 *PDP Faults Mysterious Online Polls on 2027 Elections, Says Report contradicts Political Realities across Kwara* The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State has faulted an online opinion poll credited to one unidentified organisation, NU Northstar Research, which claims that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is leading the PDP in the 2027 governorship and senatorial elections in Kwara State. The party described the poll as questionable, lacking sufficient methodological transparency and grossly at variance with the political realities and prevailing sentiments across Kwara State, particularly among grassroots residents who are looking forward to the 2027 general elections. In a statement signed by the State Publicity Secretary, Olusegun Olusola Adewara, the PDP said while it recognises the place of opinion polls in democratic engagement, such exercises must be conducted by credible research institutions and backed by transparent methodologies and verifiable data to command public confidence. "It is amusing that Governor AbdulRazaq and the Kwara APC are now resorting to questionable online polls to manufacture the acceptability they have failed to earn from the people through good governance. We want to remind those in government that popularity cannot be purchased with fabricated statistics, and public confidence cannot be manufactured on a foreign website," the statement added. The party particularly questioned the identity and credibility of NU Northstar Research, whose name has suddenly emerged in the political space ahead of the 2027 elections, without sufficient publicly available information to establish its research credentials, institutional background or track record. "Even more laughable is the claim that the poll covered 30,000 registered voters across all 16 local government areas and 193 wards between September 2 and October 20, 2026. Where exactly were these 30,000 respondents sourced? Who verified their voter registration status? What was the sampling framework? How were rural and urban respondents represented? What independent mechanism was used to authenticate the responses? These are fundamental questions any credible polling organisation must be prepared to answer.," the statement noted. Adewara noted that the poll's purported projections do not reflect the extensive grassroots engagements, political consultations and growing conversations taking place across the state. He said the 2027 elections will be determined by the choices of actual voters at polling units, not conjured online figures whose research processes cannot be independently scrutinised. He added that the PDP and its candidates have continued to engage directly with communities, moving from ward to ward and polling unit to polling unit, listening to residents, building political structures and seeking the confidence of the electorate. The party further questioned the timing of the publication, particularly against the background of increasing political activities ahead of 2027, and cautioned residents against accepting every online survey or opinion poll as an authoritative reflection of public opinion. The Kwara PDP also urged media organisations to exercise due diligence before amplifying polling reports, particularly where the research institution, methodology and supporting data have not been adequately established. The PDP called on its members, supporters and the general public to disregard the poll's projections and remain focused on mobilising greater support for all its candidates ahead of the 2027 elections. Signed: Olusegun Olusola Adewara, State Publicity Secretary, Kwara State PDP
