PICTURE STORY: Kwara APC Collapses Under Executive High-Handedness As Kwarans Troop Back To PDP Ahead Of 2027

A political cartoon currently making the rounds across social media platforms neatly captures the reality of governance and party politics in Kwara State today.

On one side is a crumbling Kwara APC house, with Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq desperately trying to hold the structure together. Beneath him, Speaker Yakubu Danladi-Salihu is depicted licking the Governor’s shoe, an unmistakable criticism of a Speaker whom critics accuse of being too subservient to the executive.

That criticism has now followed Danladi into the 2027 succession conversation. With many Kwarans arguing that a Danladi candidacy would amount to an attempt by AbdulRazaq to retain political control after leaving office — the same kind of godfather politics the Ó Tó Gẹ́ movement once claimed it had come to dismantle.

The man who came to power promising an end to godfatherism is now being accused of trying to manufacture his own political successor.

On the other side of the cartoon stands the PDP: organised, expanding and attracting politicians and supporters dissatisfied with the ruling party.

And perhaps that is the bigger story.

Ó Tó Gẹ́ was never one man’s property. It was a coalition of Kwarans demanding to be heard. Seven years later, that coalition appears to be moving again, but this time, away from the government it helped create.

2027 is still ahead, but the battle for Kwara has clearly begun.

Kwarans on Nairaland, how do you see the political realignment unfolding across the three senatorial districts ahead of 2027?

That's good let's manage what we have

In other words give us this day our daily bread politics

That's good news

More collapse loading

Better for the APC to crumble

As usual, the agbad0rians will view and jump this thread with speed

Election thieves and mandate robbers

PDP is winning Kwara.
Abdulraham messed up.

Saraki is working with Tinubu in Abuja. So it is a win win for Tinubu

Yes I expect the PDP to have advantage in all. But tricky Gov. Abdulrahman Abdulrazak might get through eventually with Vote buying strategy

What type of journalism is this? Why is this site degrading too fast and mods are not helping it. Who and who decamped. Just a cartoon sketch - No names, no leaders? Source Facebook? Common...this site has really lost its value.

This is what happens when politics becomes a means of livelihood by the citizens.People are not ready to serve and sacrifice their service(s) to humanity when "Money" is not involve,you see them cross carpeting from one party to another.

So unfortunate how this has become in our country.

Reaping what they sow from otoge of Bukola saraki.
They gon learn the hard way

Apc still doing fine in Kwara if not that the governor want to take all the glory himself.
PDP is busy winnng and dinning with youth from the grassroots which is a welcome development. To win Kwara you need to work with the youth first hand.

vote buying can't work in Kwara this time. It can only work in ilorin and most part of offa who still support APC..... Apart from ilorin and most part of offa, no local government in Kwara feel any meaningful impart of this Otoge government. Have been in Kwara for almost 15yrs and I know what am saying. Apc can only win from ilorin Central but will have to battle PDP too because saraki is not winning some ground in that central.

Radarada!!!

What's the difference: pdp, accoord (except Adeleke), ndc are all subsidiary of apc

Some are machinery for splitting votes
Some are temporary solution for inec
Some are collection points for the real watershed

I can collect money from you and still do wetin dey my mind. You can't force people to vote for you at the poling units bro. Forget all this talk, people want a out in Kwara

I pray for a better Kwara after the unavoidable collapse.

Vote buying when Bukola is alive... O'TOGE revolution gave Adulrahman Abdulrazaq the advantage, politically is nowhere Bukola Saraki,and teeming up of G-15 with PDP in Kwara,PDP is winning Kwara.

Kwara Central is for PDP and fact, Abdulrazaq Abdulrahman the governor is not winning Kwara Central Senatorial district election

out of the frying pan and into the fire.

As a kwaran, if governor AA did not mend his tent with the G15 trust me PDP will win coming election before 1pm that day.
Come to think of it, how on earth did the govo thinks he can singlehandedly put Danladi, the G15 consist of the 3 present senators, Rep,.. You imposed Danladi against the wish of other members, the primary election was shady according to some APC members, as if that's not enough you replaced your name with senator saliu mustapha that kwara central people loved.
The governor that they know your political stories, he was not among the first 3 winners during his time and was only package Cos of some internal negotiations, Now same AA do not want to negotiate with the angered members. If not oto ge would AA won the election? Just look at the G15 members they are capable of bringing the APC In kwara to her knees. I don't even know who is advising the governor Expect many decamping to PDP in kwara soon.

everywhere you go is still same thing. Most youth of nowadays actually don't like àpc like some people though. We have more people below 55yrs then 55 above. Those above are actually the one corrupting those below with the story of the past.. I remember a man who is late now was telling me late buhari can do better then GEJ then. The man was almost 70yrs then. The truth those old one are the one corrupting the youth with talks.

You think the vote buyers are dundee abi

You think they just spray money anyhow to anybody

Let me plead with you abeg choose zakari if you want Kwara to be free

Kwara APC members complain about executive being a bit pompous, switching to PDP. Seems like a good opportunity for a little boost, right?
