2019: Saraki’s Favourites Battle Ahmed in Kwara State

#NaijaLiveTv

The Senator representing Kwara South Senatorial District, Rafiu Ibrahim, said he was banking on his investments in human capital development and infrastructure and his relationship with his constituents and party members to secure the ticket of the PDP for his reelection.

The state governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed, has, however, gone ahead to perfect his plans on how to replace Ibrahim, who is the Chairman, Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance and other financial institutions, in 2019.

Apart from Ibrahim, the governor is also contending with the Deputy Chief of Staff to the Senate President, Gbenga Makanjuola, who alongside Ibrahim, is commonly referred to as Saraki’s favourites.

Investigations report revealed that some political parties had started making overtures to the senator with a view to using his popularity to contest on their platform but the senator was said to have shunned their offers.

Rather, he had been giving out scholarships and organusing empowerments schemes in his constituency apart from his display of loyalty to Saraki.

Ibrahim, who spoke with one of our correspondents, said, “I have enough legislative capability and human relations capability among the constituents and the party to be able to win election for our party.

“My governor, who is my leader in Kwara South as of today, has constitutional rights to contest too.

We belong to the same family. Our leader (Saraki) knows how to build consensus.

“I believe that the most acceptable candidate of the people, the party and the constituents will be chosen. I have no grudge against either the governor or Mr. Gbenga Makunjuola. The best will come out from the PDP so that we will defeat anybody that comes out from the other side.”
