There should be a religious case too.
Kwara has not produced a Christian governor since C.O Adebayo in 1983 (just 3 months). Christian population in Kwara should be up to 30%. Kwara South is almost 50:50. Some LGs like Ekiti and Isin have Christian majority. Some like Ifelodun, Irepodun, and Oyun have up to 40% Christians too at least while Offa has at least 25%.
The dynamics of 1983 where strongman Olusola Saraki supported UPN candidate Adebayo was different. There is no such strongman in Kwara again.
If APC, the strongest party in the state now, fields a Christian, they could play into the hands of opposition party that will field a Muslim from Ilorin.
The 1983 case needed a strongman godfather to make happen.
And realistically, in 2027, all leading aspirants are even Muslims.
I wonder why we don't see leading Christian candidates in Kwara guber.

I think it will be unfair if Kwara Central produces the next governor of Kwara. Since 1999 - Mohammed Lawal, 4 years, Kwara Central - Bukola Saraki, 8 years, Kwara Central - Abdulfatah Ahmed, 8 years, Kwara South - Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, 8 years, Kwara Central. Kwara North should produce next governor.

@onyemavalency @bslder @NajeebAdamu1 There’s no need to drag the goalpost this far. The assertion is that those Senior Advocates listed, (brilliant though they may be) aren’t Election Petitions heavyweights in Nigeria.

I keep saying this this man is a grifter
He wanted to be Fidel Castro but painfully didn't have the range
A wannabe who ran for Senate under NPN in 1979 and lost woefully
Completely irrelevant until Ojeozi Ndigbo Chief Chekwas Okorie brought him back from the dead

@bslder @Kizitookere @NajeebAdamu1 Respectfully, you’re misdirected.
The proper analogy is that Calafiori, Caicedo and Peter Crouch aren’t Maldini, Figo or Ronaldo de Lima. Not that they aren’t players (some might even say decent footballers), but they’re miles away from the greats. It is what it is.

At the side of every man who hates the Igbo tribe, there is always an Igbo wife who is there to support him and birth him children who will in turn grow up to be an Igbo hater👏👏👏🔥🔥

@JideucheEzi @Kizitookere @NajeebAdamu1 That nonsense you said is like saying if you are not Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo and Messi that you can't play ball. And I ignored you for a reason.
Is it JO Asoluka who led APC team for most recent Governorship elections in Imo, Edo, Kogi that you are calling a lightweight?

@Kizitookere @bslder @NajeebAdamu1 Nigeria shouldn’t be a country dealing with large scale institutional poverty and a dearth of competent leadership, but isn’t that what exists?

Nigerians cannot fathom the most successful Banker of his generation owning properties in the UK
It has to be for politicians
Hon Henry Shield@HonShield
What if all those properties linked to Wigwe in the UK were held in trust by him for our politicians? 🤔

He has been veery uncharismatic and dull as a politician.
Zero gravitas.
Shettima will still be VP. Tinubu is too strategic to change a winning formula.
A Yoruba man and a middle beltern cannot win the Presidency of Nigeria, it hasn't been done before.

Christopher Musa is doing all this for what? Is he going to be VP?

Given the removal of qualification as a ground for an election petition, the supreme court will have to revise its position that the issue of nomination and sponsorship is an internal affairs and only a candidate in the primaries has locus standi
Anything other than this is
