Tijani Accuses AbdulRazaq of Betrayal Ahead of 2027 Elections

On Wednesday, Hon Ismail Tijani, representing Ifelodun/Offa/Oyun Federal Constituency, criticized Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, likening him to Abu Lahab, an opponent of Prophet Muhammad. Speaking at an event organized by The Otoge Progressives, Tijani claimed that AbdulRazaq had betrayed those who supported him and blocked various development projects he proposed, including road repairs and a hospital.

He urged voters to accept money from politicians but to "do the right thing" in the upcoming 2027 elections. Tijani also dismissed allegations against his political record and questioned the integrity of other politicians, stating that many who currently support AbdulRazaq are unhappy but feel trapped.

He mentioned his limited interactions with former Senate President Bukola Saraki, attributing their tensions to a visit he made to express condolences. Tijani encouraged his supporters to vote for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other PDP candidates in Kwara.
