Kwara Politics: AbdulRazaq's Stronghold Amidst Opposition

The analysis of Kwara politics indicates that much of the commentary surrounding it is overly optimistic and lacks a thorough understanding of the situation. It asserts that the political landscape is currently favorable for Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, who led the APC to a significant victory in 2023 despite opposition from various political figures, including Senator Saliu Mustapha and Senator Gbemisola Saraki.

The article notes that many of those now opposing the Governor did not support him in the last election. It lists several key opposition figures from different regions, including Bashir Omolaja Bolarinwa and Senator Suleiman Makanjuola Ajadi, and points out that many former allies of the Saraki dynasty have left, resulting in a weakened political platform.

The piece concludes that over 70% of Saraki's electoral tickets are held by placeholders, indicating instability within his political structure.
