The Senator representing Kwara Central in the National Assembly, Dr Ibrahim Oloriegbe, has lost his bid to return to the Senate in 2023 during the primary election.

Oloriegbe scored the least votes amongst the three All Progressives Congress (APC) Senatorial aspirants that contested in the senatorial primary held in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.

A philanthropist and Turaki of Ilorin, Malam Saliu Mustapha scored 136 votes to emerge the winner of the senatorial election.

The election result showed that Yahaya Seriki scored 78, while Oloriegbe got 15 votes.

Recall that in 2019, former Senate President, Bukola Saraki lost his bid for reelection into the Senate from Kwara Central on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party to Dr. Oloriegbe of the All Progressives Congress.
Oloriegbe polled a total of 123,808 votes to defeat the Senate President who scored 68,994 votes in the four local governments of Kwara Central Senatorial District.

Also, at least half of the 24 members of the Kwara State House of Assembly have lost their bids to win their various parties’ ticket for re-election in the House.

The lawmakers include the Deputy Speaker of the Assembly, Raphael Adetiba, representing Oke-Ero Constituency; and Felix Awolola, Chairman of the Assembly Committee on Information from Isin State Constituency.
SaharaReporters gathered two of the Assembly members, Saheed Popoola, representing Ojomu Balogun Constituency in Offa Local Government Area; and Ndanusa Guyegi, representing Edu State Constituency, have defected to the Social Democratic Party because they could not secure their tickets at the ruling All Progressives Congress.

Among those who won the tickets in APC were four women.

They are Hajia Arinola Lawal, daughter of former governor Mohammed Lawal; Alhaja Tundun Alanamu, Mrs Damilola Abass and Mrs Mariam Aladi.

Lawal defeated the incumbent legislator representing Ilorin East Constituency, Ali Amuda-Jimoh, after polling 47 votes as opposed to Amuda-Jimoh who got 13 votes.
However, both the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Yakubu Salihu-Danladi; and the Majority Leader, Olawoyin Magaji, won their re-election tickets in Ilesha /Gwanara and Magaji Ngeri state constituencies, respectively.
Also A.G.F. Salahuddeen emerged as the APC candidate in the Omupo constituency after defeating his challengers, Mr Wale Oyinloye and Luqman Abubakar.

Ibrahim Ambali, who is representing Owode/Onire Constituency in the Asa Local government Area; and Owolabi Razaq for Share/Oke-Ode Constituency also won the APC ticket.

Nothing is permanent in Politics....Saraki very soon will be going to Ask Rock like his backyard..

The same cane they use to beat the first wife is still there waiting to be used for the second wife.

Congratulations Senator, be ready to join Lia Mohammed in the trenches of irrelevancy

"Otoge" for him too.

The gullible people that voted for him then should list his accomplishments now

Noted

People only voted him to end Sakari's monarch rule. He clearly had nothing to offer them that's why they kicked him out.

This I have seen.

Saraki should have returned to senate

How I wish Nigeria youths would wake up from their drug induced stupidity and not vote for any candidate of both APC and PDP because it is clear both parties are the same group of past, present and future looters.

Let us at least for once rally around a youthful leader who mean well for us irrespective of tribe or religion...This old recycled leaders have been using tribalism and religion to tire down our destinies for too long, let's beat them to their game this time.

We have the numbers they need to win, we can decide who the next President will be with our votes and make it count to their shock...and if they decide to rig the election then the 2020 End Sars protest will be a child's play to what will happen in 2023.

NB.
If you support Tinubu because he is your brother and not because he is competent but just to spite an Igbo man who sadly too would prefer his brother Obi or an Hausa man to support Atiku because he is a Northerner, NIGERIA WILL REMAIN LIKE THIS FOR ATLEAST 200 YEARS UNTIL WHEN GOD FINALLY WIPES OUT THIS SENSELESS, IDIOTIC, TRIBALISTIC AND RELIGIOUS GENERATION.

Oloriegbe don collect wotowoto

This description funny oooo

PDP may reclaim the state!

Is it his fathers property ni, oloriegbe awon wo ni

Na the Otoge movement been help am before na.
The intention was never to vote him IN, but to vote Saraki OUT.

The same cane used on Saraki has been used on him, na Tinubu otoge cane remain now

This shows they only voted for him back then just to spite Saraki and now that saraki is out of the way they no longer need him

Eyaaa

тнey voтed ғor ѕoмeone wнo нaѕ тнe мoney тo вrιвe тнeм

He was simply served his own turn of his tea

But why?

I see SDP gaining prominence in Kwara state, though they will not be able to win Gov seat

He was just the beneficiary of a mass movement against Saraki 4 years ago.

Now they have discovered he is empty.

He doesn't defeated bukola, but kwara made d mistake of letting bukola losed, now dey will never vote even d governor.

Sad about the loss of Senator Ibrahim Oloriegbe. Sen. Oloriegbe worked on several health bills.
- NHIS act which has been passed
- substance abuse and mental health bill
- psychiatric hospital amendment bill
- Repeal of the 1988 MDCN act
- Maternal and perinatal death bill

He got his state 2 tertiary health facilities - Neuropsychiatric Hospital and the Orthopaedic Hospital in Kwara. His bills on healthcare are unmatched. He took healthcare reforms personal... (fimiletoks 2022)


I wish him well.


He performed 100% better thank Saraki and all those before him. Even among his peers, he towers high.
