Atunwa Emerges Kwara PDP Governorship Candidate by Kamelot77(op): 11:11pm On Oct 01, 2018
A member of the House of Representatives and former Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Barr. Razak Atunwa, has emerged the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara state.

Atunwa, a former commissioner for Information and Works in the state polled 1,555 votes to beat his rival, a former governor of the state and serving senator, Alh Mohammed Sha’aba Lafiagi who scored 578 votes.



Atunwa is from Asa local government area in Kwara central while Lafiagi is from Edu local government in Kwara north.

The conduct of the PDP governorship primaries, which started on Sunday, was declared inconclusive when the peaceful process was disrupted abruptly by some aggrieved delegates who alleged that the process was been manipulated.


Before the commencement of voting by the accredited 2,227 delegates from the 193 wards in the state, some guber aspirants such as Ladi Hassan, Saka Issau (SAN), Zakari Muhammed and Ali Ahmad all stepped down from the race while, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, Muhammed Ibrahim Ajia, Prof. Abubakar Sulaiman, Aliyu Ahman Patigi – all boycotted the exercise.

The state governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed, who said that the nine aspirants withdrew from the race because of the party’s interest, thanked them for their act of magnanimity.

The governor also thanked the state’s political leader, Dr. Bukola Saraki, for his wise counselling and purposeful leadership which, he said, had kept members of the PDP united in the state.

Re: Atunwa Emerges Kwara PDP Governorship Candidate by dollarsplenty(m): 4:30am On Oct 02, 2018
And Saraki came to Osun to campaign against imposition of candidate and godfatherism. Here we are, the same man ensured his anointed godson got the PDP guber-ticket of Kwara. Trust a politician at your own peril.

I will say this over and over again. PDP is dead in kwara as Saraki end is near in kwara. Atunwa ko Atunlo ni

Atunwa from Asa lga, lol, oya ipob come and give us their history
Re: Atunwa Emerges Kwara PDP Governorship Candidate by PassingShot(m): 4:43am On Oct 02, 2018
This is an own goal by PDP.

If APC presents a more popular and more accomplished professional as their candidate, it’s over for Saraki in Kwara.
Re: Atunwa Emerges Kwara PDP Governorship Candidate by Longluk: 4:49am On Oct 02, 2018
Ope oooooo. Saraki finally going down. This is someone that can not even win his polling boot. He is not in touch with his people at the grassroot level since when he is in Abuja as a 2 times member of house of representative. I wonder how Saraki will rig him in when he did not even have federal backing from the police and Co. Saraki has shot himself in the leg with this imposition ooooooo. Freedom for Kwaran at last grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

I am from Oyun. People are tired of Saraki. I do engage my colleagues from other Local government area in a discussion and I can categorically tell you everyone is lamenting and talking about how kwara is retrogressive.
We can keep doing things the same way and want change. Saraki must lose in kwara if we want to forge ahead.

Re: Atunwa Emerges Kwara PDP Governorship Candidate by Nobody: 5:44am On Oct 02, 2018
Kwara Apc postponed their election twice just to find out who kwara pdp governorship candidates is going to be. They did this as a result of fear. I'm from kwara state to defeat Saraki in kwara state is not going to be an easy but let's wait and see.
