Q.S. AMINU ABUBAKAR SULEIMAN: THE MAN TO BEAT IN KOGI EAST — WHY THERE IS NO STOPPING A CANDIDATE FOR THE PEOPLE

Image
Ahead of the forthcoming Kogi East Senatorial District election, a quiet but decisive shift is happening across the nine local governments. In markets, campuses, town halls and community meetings, one name keeps surfacing with a sense of expectation that has not been felt in a long time. Q.S. Aminu Abubakar Suleiman, the maverick and intelligently mobile candidate of the African Democratic Congress, has stepped into the race not with noise, but with presence, and the people are responding. From reports in the Media and other verifiable platforms, the story of Q.S. is not being written by handlers in faraway offices. It is being written by the people who have met him, who have asked him questions, and who have watched him take notes instead of making promises he cannot keep.

Image
Our Reporter - Abuja Justice Mohammed Garba Umar of the Federal High Court in Abuja has affirmed Chief Thomas Ereyitomi as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Warri House of Representatives in the 2027 general election. The Judge on Thursday dismissed a suit brought against him by another aspirant for the Constituency, Dr Ekpoto Emmanuel challenging his nomination and submission of his name to the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC. Dr Ekpoto Emmanuel had in the suit prayed the Court to nullify the participation and emergence of Thomas Ereyitomi as the duly nominated candidate of the APC for the Warri Federal Constituency.

Power Shift: Okun Leaders Must Move Beyond Rhetoric and Build the Numbers — Dr. Klinsman Femi Owolowo

Image
***Okun son urges Kogi West stakeholders to pursue strategic alliances, voter mobilisation and political unity ahead of future elections An illustrious Okun son, Dr. Femi Owolowo, has called on political leaders, stakeholders and citizens of Kogi West to move beyond passionate rhetoric on the agitation for power shift and embrace a more strategic, data-driven and inclusive political mobilisation capable of translating the demand into electoral reality. Owolowo, in a personal opinion on the political future of Kogi West, acknowledged that advocating power shift remains a legitimate aspiration of the people, but cautioned that impressive speeches and political declarations alone cannot secure power in a democratic contest.
