BREAKING: Gov AbdulRazaq, Danladi win endorsement of Asa stakeholders ahead of 2027 polls
Kwara State Governor @RealAARahman AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Thursday led the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign train to Asa local government area.
AbdulRazaq went with APC guber candidate Rt. Hon. @SalihuDanlad Yakubu Danladi, Hon. Muktar Shagaya, and some other party candidates in Kwara Central.
Both the Governor and Danladi took turns to speak candidly on the need for the people to vote all APC candidates in the 2027 polls.
AbdulRazaq said PDP can not be trusted after they left the state in bad shape before he assumed in 2019.
While speaking, Danladi promised the people of Asa that he would not dissapoint them, saying he will prioritise grassroot development when elected.
At the meeting held at Onire/Ode-Giwa/Alapa ward, several stakeholders who spoke said AbdulRazaq had done well and they will be repaying APC with massive votes.
While speaking, Daudu of Alapa Mallam Saka Yusuf said the Alapa community have resolved unanimously to support President @officialABAT Tinubu, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, Danladi and all other party candidates in the forthcoming polls in the state.

I believe that seeking the mandate of the people comes with a responsibility that goes beyond making campaign promises, attending rallies and asking for votes. It requires being clear about what you intend to do, how you intend to do it, the resources required and how the people can hold you accountable.
This is why I have presented The SBK Compact – Kwara People First. I am offering Kwarans more than political rhetoric; I am presenting a structured programme of government with clear priorities, specific commitments and measurable targets.
For too long, our people have had to contend with a gap between campaign expectations and the realities of governance. When citizens are not presented with clear and accessible commitments, it becomes difficult to measure performance and demand accountability.
I believe the people of Kwara deserve better. They deserve to know what those seeking their mandate intend to do for them. They deserve to interrogate our proposals, question our priorities and hold us responsible for the promises we make.
My commitments are clear: a proposed ₦100 billion Security Trust Fund; ₦50 million for each of our 193 wards within the first 100 days; 200,000 annual youth employment opportunities; a ₦19.2 billion Agricultural Production Fund; dedicated financing for traders, MSMEs and women-owned businesses; improved education and healthcare; and a 13th-month salary for civil servants, among other interventions.
These are proposals we are putting before the people for scrutiny. I do not expect Kwarans to take my word for it simply because I am asking for their votes. I expect them to examine this document, interrogate our commitments and demand explanations where necessary.
Our people must never be taken for granted. A governorship election should be about competing ideas, credible plans and the future we intend to build, not just political slogans and the mobilisation of crowds.
I have put my commitments on the table. Let every candidate seeking to govern Kwara do the same. The people deserve to compare the plans, ask the hard questions and know exactly what they are voting for.
Because Kwara is bigger than any individual ambition. The future of our people must come first.
THE SBK COMPACT. KWARA PEOPLE FIRST.
SECURE. PRODUCTIVE. PROSPEROUS. #SBKFORKWARA #Sbk2027

Spot on. Beyond the mastery of the pen, the raw truth of that post hits uncomfortably close to home. There is a peculiar kind of exploitation that comes from people who recognise your potential, understand your ambition, and know precisely what you need to excel, yet deliberately
first of all, many people don’t understand that wealthy people can spot a beneficial talent from a mile away, and they are very good at poaching individuals amongst others to serve their own interests. conversely, or rather unfortunately, they don’t reciprocate that burning desire they had for you when it is time to reward you. at your lowest, you might eventually discover that that “elite” is just another user like any of these Nigerian girls.
it might interest you to know that no influential or wealthy person is going to look out for you the way you think. more often than not, they give you a gentle, little nudge that tickles your fancy, and that is all you will ever get if you did not snap out of that delusion.
people who are intentional about what they want around wealthy and influential people don’t get it as simply as people outside of that frame often think. there are two ways: it is either you are extremely fanatical, a lowlife, a praise singer, a soft-pedaler, or you are a thief. or you can use brute force to achieve your aims, be sneaky, cheat, a cynical cunning lore like them. there is no in between. there is no big reward anywhere. no wealthy or influential person will sign a check that will change your life without any political undertone to it. even at strictly business level, you are still going to get played.
also, proximity to that wealth or influence doesn’t mean you wield it or have a say in what it does to you or people around you. you are just a pawn in a chess game, and there’s a master player. the day your desperation (ambition by the way) becomes known is the day you are thrown. you will be an ungrateful idiot.
and those people like to throw the word loyalty around, that’s their ultimate weapon against any sensible person who has seen through their deception. your quest to get better or explore opportunities becomes a thing of questionable loyalty. it is as if they forget loyalty should be mutually beneficial, at least in my own opinion.
that’s why, more often than not, people who make it big through these wealthy and influential figures tend to fall out with them. because they reached a certain level that the dark arts no longer work on them, and they can thrive just as well with or without those connections. mind you, such leverage was never in the plan.
now, this doesn’t necessarily mean you are dealing with evil people. they are just better and more skilled than you in the dark arts of life. just do your thing, watch out for yourself.
at best, you are going to be just like them too when you work your way up to the top. LOL
And once your usefulness diminishes, the same people who insisted on your indispensability can become remarkably indifferent to your existence. Dog eat dog life

Eventually, you begin to understand the arrangement for what it is: a transactional relationship masquerading as loyalty, mentorship or genuine concern. You were never necessarily being prepared for independence. You were being conditioned for continued availability.

You are valued for your utility, celebrated when your contributions are convenient, and discouraged whenever your personal ambitions threaten to take you beyond the limits of your usefulness to them.

It could be a long-standing mentor, a family member, a senior colleague or someone you have come to regard as a brother. The relationship may differ, but the underlying architecture remains remarkably similar.

as something that makes people uncomfortable. The objective is subtle but deliberate: make you question yourself enough to remain within the boundaries they have constructed for you. Perhaps the most disturbing part is how easily this arrangement becomes normalised.

Suddenly, you are reminded that you are not as exceptional as you think. Your confidence becomes arrogance. Your ability to articulate your ambitions becomes an inability to remain humble. Even speaking openly about your accomplishments or blowing your own trumpet is presented

from your abilities as possible. Your potential becomes something they feel entitled to, almost as though they hold the deed to your future. And the moment you begin to resist this arrangement, the tactics change.

by adhering to the same modest prescriptions they now impose on others. Some conveniently forget the leverage, privileges, unconventional opportunities and, in certain instances, the classic ole gbe, ole gba playbook that facilitated their own rise.

Before you come and tell me about the difference in FAAC. I’d tell you generally through economics that most of these FAAC money are nominal increases. By the time you cross reference. Cost of wages then and now, cost of building a 10km of road. Procurement and amongst other
This Saraki outburst about the deputy governor hailing care hire services(something I refuse to believe, because it’s hearsay). Is very funny.
Because this same PDP government was living large circa 2015-2019. When the Government was paying teachers 18 percent
