I CANT WAIT TO SEE KWARA RESULT.
KEEP POSTING IT OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

There are 15 candidates on the ballot for the state governorship race, but a casual discussion with many residents of the state reveals that the contest is really between two factions of the state's number one political family; one headed by the patriarch of the family, Olusola Saraki, whose daughter, Gbemi, is the governorship candidate of the Allied Congress for Progressive Change (ACPN), and the other headed by his son, Bukola, who is the incumbent governor and is supporting one of his commissioners, Abdulfattah Ahmed, for the top job.

The splinter within the family, over the refusal of the state governor to accede to his father's request that he supports his sister, also led to a division in the state chapter of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) when the elder Saraki led his supporters to join a new party, the ACPN, to enable his daughter realise her ambition.

Going by the results of the last two elections, the PDP has retained its supremacy in the state and there is confidence among the party's candidates for the governorship and House of Assembly elections. The only party that ruined the total victory of the PDP was not the much trumpeted ACPN, but the less fancied Congress for Progressive Change.

Despite the political polarisation, a number of people in Ilorin, the state capital, still believe that the elder Saraki and his son, the state governor, are not really fighting each other.

A PDP state executive who did not want his name mentioned, pointed out that the elder Saraki's portrait still graces the party secretariat. There was wild rumour after the senatorial election that Mr Saraki voted for his son, who is the senatorial candidate of the PDP, rather than for the candidate of his party, the ACPN. Mr Saraki denied this, however.

"Go and write it down today, Baba Oloye (the elder Saraki) will soon come back to PDP," the PDP executive said. "Let me say that he has not left us. He is still so much a part of us." This uncertainty has affected the campaign, as groups of politicians have developed the habit of visiting the different political camps to solicit money. Other groups are moved by other issues.

An Igbo businessman in Ilorin, Eze Aloysius, described the position of the Igbo in the state as one, angrily revealing his fear of tax increase if the Action Congress of Nigeria assumes office.

"Our people in Ekiti say they collect tickets three times a day now. Right or not, Igbo people will never do anything that will affect our business interest," he said.

Mr Eze is a supporter of Ms Saraki and he says this is not because of any inducement.

"We contributed money to print posters and hand bills and we are supporting the candidacy in so many ways. So, what is their money going to do for me? What I know is that we can't afford any fake tax policy," he said.

Running to win

The campaign of Ms Saraki, a serving senator, has been hurt by the fuzziness in the relationship between her father and brother. She has also been at pains to assure her supporters that her candidacy is real and that she is in it to win.

"People are just getting it wrong or how would our father collude with the governor that keeps destroying my name so that people can think that we are fighting. That is not possible, simply not possible," she said. "I want all Kwarans to know that the end will soon come to all their lies." The Action Congress of Nigeria's gubernatorial aspirant, Dele Belgore, has kept up a strong criticism of the ruling party, especially over what he calls the intimidation and inducement of his supporters and agents.

A NEXT investigation, however, reveals that internal sabotage is part of the problems of the opposition in the state. Last week, Khaleel Bolaji, the All Nigeria Peoples Party governorship candidate, called on his supporters to vote for the PDP candidate.

The lot of the opposition has also not been helped by a recent breakdown in alliance talks between the ACPN and the ACN.

During the discussion, held between the ACN national chairman, Bisi Akande, its publicity secretary, Lai Mohammed, and leaders of the ACPN, Olusola Saraki, the ACN offered to refund campaign expenses of the ACPN and reserve 40 per cent of the cabinet to the party, if the alliance wins the election.

Mr Saraki requested that the ACN should also concede all House of Assembly seats within the Kwara central senatorial district to the ACPN, if the ACN produces the governorship candidate and his running mate.

ACN, which sees Kwara central as its main area of strength, going by its performance in the previous election, was not ready to concede to the ACPN and the two sides could not bridge this gap.

did you guys really expect Gbemisola Saraki to win? fight between father and son

The fight was really between Belgore the upstart and Fatah

if ACN try hard enough they might get some more rep seat through the courts, the first round of elections were rigged in some areas where acn could have easily won

Senior Saraki is about to be confined to his house, he is probably on his last few miles he'd better take a back seat and Gbemi better reconcile to get any sort of job after the elections
