As a student of political science, over the past few months, I have watched the political actors in my home state, Kwara, campaigning and jostling for power. Some of them want to be House of Assembly members; some of them want to go to the National Assembly as Senators or Honourable members; others want to be Governor; while still, other just want to be the godfathers behind the scene — pulling strings and giving orders.

Focusing on the main contenders, the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and their main challengers, the All Progressives Congress (APC), one thing that strikes me as odd is the clear distinction between the organisational structure and the competence of the candidates being presented by both sides.

For example, the PDP has presented Honourable Razak Atunwa, a former speaker of the State House of Assembly, and current Honourable Member in the 8th National Assembly as its gubernatorial candidate. Atunwa, who also served as a Commissioner for Lands and Housing in the Saraki administration, won the PDP primaries in a landslide due to his executive and legislative experience, that seems to make him well-prepared for the task of governing the State of Harmony.

On the other hand, the APC has presented a virtually untested — at least in public service — Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq as its candidate. Abdulrazaq, whose major claim to fame is that he is the son of the first lawyer in northern Nigeria, has galvanised a segment of the Kwara population with his campaign slogan ‘O to Ge’, which translates to ‘Enough is Enough’ in English.

A brief perusal of the social media handles of the APC and PDP candidates shows that while the PDP candidate, Atunwa, is looking to the future by putting forth specific agendas that his government can be held accountable to if he assumes office, the APC candidate, Abdulrahman, is focusing on the past and trying to appeal to voters based on sentiment, with no specific manifesto that he can be held accountable to.

While Atunwa on one hand, tweets and posts about tapping into the existing comparative advantages of each of local government areas of the state in order to boost the state’s economy, Abdulrahman, continues to focus on stirring up sentiments.

One worthy distinction, is that in the last 10 days for each substantive and specific post of Atunwa’s where he sets forth a specific agenda to develop Kwara, there are at least 3 posts from Abdulrahman that simply say “O To Ge.”

As we, the people of Kwara, prepare to choose which party we will follow in the forthcoming elections, let us be reminded that slogans do not win elections and ‘O To Ge’ is not a manifesto.

We must remember the lessons of APC government at the federal level, who promised us ‘Change’, but instead plunged our economy into its first recession in 30 years; flushed all our development indexes with the international community into the toilet; and spread the insecurity across the nation from the North East, where it was once contained, to areas in the North West and the North Central.

Personally, I will not be swayed by sentiment. I will be convinced by specifics. On February 16th and March 2nd, when I go out to vote, I will cast my votes for the candidates and the party that put forth specific agenda for continuity in the development of the state. I will vote for the party, that is consolidating on the successes of the previous years, not the candidates that want ‘Change’ simply because they want power. In my honest opinion, Atunwa and the PDP, are what’s best for Kwara in 2019. As a student of political science, I stand by this.

You keep wasting common sense in an attempt to justify your bad decision. You sit down in the corner of your room and thinks the man gaining wide acceptance from high and low places won't go anywhere.

Keep staying backward, while the rest of the Nigeria move forward.

Barefaced corruption

See the way apc are just paving the way for a perfect rig and we are helpless in a democratic state

Oshiomole only charm and luck is that he's an Edo man.remove oshiomole from APC and it will die.

For PDP to win buhari this February, it need to bring a core Edo man(Benin,esan axis).

If not oshiomole will retire Obasanjo,atiku, saraki,damjuma and many others.

anjigirl:
APC will lose Oyo State,Lagos,Ogun by AtleAst 55-45 percent but they should be able to get like 20-25 from south south and south east because of huge war chest and federal might so that should cover the south west loss

KwoiZabo:
Atiku will win this election with a landslide, but just for your information, Buhari needs at least 25% in 24 states to win.

anjigirl:
Buhari will loss south west

disturbedman:
Buhari only needs about 10% votes in SE. He will offset the poor showing with SS votes. He will win SW, NW, NE and NC.

Atiku will only win SE, get 40% in SW, 40% to 45% in NC. He will not score more than 35% in NE and NW.

Their only hope to get the presidency through BDC Onnoghen has been busted.

I told her she and her family should get ready for me by January that am arresting everyone in the hire purchase agreement including there in-law I was so furious in my tone never spoken to any of them in such a way before but really I have had enough she was pleading saying the in-law I was talking about is her husband I said better that they should all get there beSt lawyer and get prepared she was trying to calm me down but I was not taking it, I end the call one good thing they know about me is that I never say what I wouldn't do. Today the brother who sign as surety called me this afternoon saying he is with the mechanic that hIs phone was faulty all this while That please he don't want trouble that I should not invite the police he knows his brother is at fault he wants us to fix a date in January we all meet at the mechanic and settle I told him to give the mechanic the phone he greeted me I then asked him why is he not picking my calls all this while he was mute never uttered a word regarding my question he passed the phone back to the owner..
