PARADIGM SHIFT IN KWARA POLITICS?


It appears that the tight skin of the Saraki drum in Kwara politics has refused to yield to the harmattan effect of tightening. The drum has lapsed liked the retired breasts of an unrepentant harlot.
The great politician had allegedly said he spent #400 Million in 30 states for the victory of the current President  Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 general elections, when the duo were still sharing the same political hut in peace.
Why should Saraki's stronghold of Kwara State lose a parliamentary re-run elections to the opposition party (APC) in the State in the elections conducted recently? Is it that the money possibly shared didn't have the desired effect on Kwarans? Or has Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information, also from Kwara State, was able plant in political lies that perfectly whittled down Saraki's enduring influence on the people of Kwara State? Or is there a paradigm shift on the side of the electorates against Saraki's Political dynasty?
No need for hurried answers. The reality will soon be dawn on us all. Let's watch as the politics and politicking unfold in the build up to the 2019 general elections.
