Opinion: Dear Kwara PDP, propaganda cannot win you this election

By Ndanusa Abubakar What the choice of one Kayode Ogunlowo as the Director, Media and Publicity of the Kwara State People’s Democratic Party Campaign Council indicates clearly is that the party leadership thinks propaganda will win it back the state in the forthcoming 2023 election.

To Saraki, Civil Servants Don’t Matter

By Qudus Adelodun I came in contact with one offensive article written by a certain Sarakite who identified as David Titiloye. That article explains the vintage Sarakite: how they think civil servants do not matter, and so improvement in their welfare should not constitute a talking point or focus of the government. David sought to…

ABDULRAHMAN ABDULRAZAQ, A BLESSING TO KWARA STATE.

I have come to realize that Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq is a blessing to Kwara State at the moment. It is an undisputable fact that as a human being, he is imperfect! He has his flaws. He is not a saint. However, he is a universal leader! This clearly reflects via his numerous works which cut…

REJOINDER: Toyin Saraki, the arrogant Liar!

If Saraki’s PDP mistakenly gets power in 2023, Kwara will be placed on Jumia

By Qudus Adelodun Make no mistake about it. A Yaman/Makanjuola (PDP) ticket in Kwara State is a return of power to Bukola Saraki, the ‘capo di tutti capi’ of the dynasty that led the state to a deep pit in the no less than 16 years it operated. We can only continue to thank God…

Opinion: Bukola Saraki’s show of shame at Ilorin Central Mosque

By Alabi Mustapha So, where did the self-appointed activists and Twittering/WhatsApping public analysts go to last week in Kwara State when our brother Bukola Saraki, ex-Senate President and Leader of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP), dehumanised Kwarans, treated them like some monkeys, and rubbished our national identity?
