APC to win Kwara by election with over 70% margin - Survey

-


A leading pro-Democracy group in Kwara State Nigeria, Kwara Must Change has stated that it can authoritatively report that the All Progressive Congress (APC) will win the November 17th by election taking place in Ekiti, Oke-Ero, Isin and Irepodun federal constituency of Kwara State with over 70% margin.

The group stated, in a statement signed by the Kwara Must Change state coordinator, Yusuf Olatunji that the figure was gotten from its recent survey in the state, particularly in the 4 local government areas where a by election is coming up.

‘’Kwara Must Change survey in the area, which commenced about than 3 months ago was concluded this week and the result indicated that the people of Kwara have been well informed about issues and majority of whom are well prepared for Kwara political liberation’’.

The survey, according to the group engaged 250 people in each of the 4 local government areas where the by election would be taking place and the result shows that more than 70% of the population are ready to vote against any candidate of the Bukola Saraki led dynasty and as the major opposition party in the state, All Progressive Congress (APC) happens to be a beneficiary of the peoples collective resolve to end Saraki’s dynasty once and for all.

Residents in the areas covered noted that, the level of political awareness about the state of affairs in the state is in all time high, as virtually all Kwarans are now more informed than ever before, adding that people who prefer to stick to Saraki led dynasty are doing so for personal reasons.

Reason for the upsurge in public consciousness is not unconnected to the rise in the activities of political movements, civil society groups and establishment of private radio stations.
It was noted that‘’Even in rural areas with low public engagement, the direct engagement of the people by Kwara Must Change (KMC) grassroot network has significantly increased the level of sensitization.

Additionally, the proliferation of private radio stations in the state, particularly radio station that focused on local content also contributed to the astronomic increase in public awareness. It was further noted that, the consistent engagements on these radio stations over time help provide public with valuable insights and perspective about issues that shaped public understanding.

Many also observe that, activities of civil and pro-democracy groups like Kwara Must Change significantly contributed to the mass awareness.

For example, Kwara Must Change consistent engagement with government on all important public issues was credited to have shaped local perception and gave many inspiration to take definite position about their political choices. the group said

5 facts about O TO GE slogan and the collapse of Saraki's dynasty

Kwara Must Change 1. Alh. LAK Jimoh was the first politician in modern history of Kwara state to use the O TO GE slogan in a campaign. O TO GE simply means, Enough is Enough.  Alhaji Jimoh first used the slogan in 2011 when he was contesting the Kwara Central Senatorial seat under the People's Democratic Party (PDP). Bukola Saraki eventually won the ticket and went ahead to represent Kwara Central at the Senate.  While the slogan wasn't popular at the time, there's no taking away the fact that Alh LAK Jimoh used it first and could be rightly credited to be the originator. 2. 8 years later, the slogan idea was pitched again in 2018 immediately after the All Progressive Congress primary election in Kwara State. After the APC primary election, Islamic singer, Aminat Obirere produced a song titled o to ge as part of a joint album coordinated by Kwara Must Change to promote the candidature of APC governorship candidate, Alh.

Lagos before Nigeria By Abdulrazaq O Hamzat

More than 50 years before the creation of Nigeria as a united entity, Lagos is already a major centre of modern civilisation. Lagos history is rich in Yoruba tradition, trade and commerce, infrastructural development and cosmopolitanism." -EXTRACTED In the past few days, i have followed the unhealthy debate between easterners in Lagos and their host and i must say that such is really uncalled for. No tribe or race is an island of knowledge and civilisation. At one time or the other, each one of them contributed in one way or the other. While it is proper for every one to feel good about themselves and try as much as possible to amplify in a good way, their importance and contribution to the society they live in, it is also very crucial to take into account, the reality of other factors without attempting to ridicule the contribution of others. I therefore advise all those joining the discuss to thread with caution and avoid things that are capable of setting our peop

United States of America may be better than Nigeria in many ways, but there are also areas Nigeria is better than U.S. I have compiled just 15 of them for a start. Read and leave your comment. 1. Intelligence and smartness Nigerians are the most intelligent people in the world. Yes, they are the smartest you find anywhere in the world. However, the problem with intelligent and smart people is that, in anything they do, their intelligence and smartness come to play and others in the same circle hardly match their rare skills. In business, they will be intelligent and smart, in education, they will be intelligent and smart, in music and entertainment, they will be intelligent and smart and also in criminality, they will be intelligent and smart. As we all know, negative stories sells faster than anything else and this explains why Nigerian criminals are also world famous for their craft.
