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.

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.
