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.

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

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.

A powerful partnership built on vision, experience, and a shared commitment to a better future. Together, Engr. Suleiman Bolakale Kawu and Rev. COS Fawenu represent hope, purposeful leadership, and a brighter tomorrow for Kwara State... 💪 #SBK2027 #KawuFawenu #KawuFawenu2027

Did the governor do anything about this? No In 2024, Kwara SUBEB said it needed new teachers to replace those who had retired or left. Did the governor do anything about this? No Today Kwara is announcing Dangote shares for teachers... at the same event where the NUT asked again for the 65/40 retirement age For four years they have been asking for the same thing. Abdulrahman has turned a deaf ear to their pleas. In 2023, the Kwara NUT was already complaining about promotions, the pay gap between SUBEB and TESCOM teachers, the TSA and the retirement age. Now today's announcement, Dangote shares? ₦5,250 is ₦5,250. Let's call it what it is.

Engr Suleiman Bolakale's commitment to lighting up every part of Kwara to power SMEs and boost our economy is top-notch. With him and Rev. COS Fawenu, Kwara's economic growth is assured... #SBK2027 #KawuFawenu #KawuFawenu2027

We've had successive persons manning that agency, but none had recorded the feats of Engr Suleiman Bolakale Kawu; he discharged his responsibilities with a high level of prudence, commitment and discipline that cuts across all geopolitical zones in Nigeria. If he can do that as a civil servant, he can do more as a governor. For an administration that won't blame the previous administration as an excuse not to perform, Engr Suleiman Bolakale Kawu and Rev COS Fawenu are the right men for the job... #SBK2027 #KawuFawenu #KawuFawenu2027
