Abdulrahman’s Political Crisis Cannot Be Wished Away

Adeniyi Ìṣhọlá I ordinarily would not have bothered responding to Oloriewe Raheem Adedoyin’s rejoinder to my article, “Has Abdulrahman fallen out of favour with Tinubu?” A rejoinder deserves the courtesy

Abdulrahman's political crisis cannot be wished away. Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq's recent behavior raises questions about his standing within the APC Presidential Campaign Council. Despite his claims of opting out due to a tough electoral battle, his actions suggest otherwise. Oloriewe Raheem Adedoyin, a political sycophant, defends Abdulrahman without addressing the central issues raised in my article.

He attacks my motives instead, describing it as a "hatchet job", "blatant falsehood", and "conjecture." However, the record speaks for itself. Abdulrahman's actions in Kwara, including the manipulation of the governorship primary and hijacking of senatorial tickets, created a crisis that cannot be blamed on anyone but him. My article's central point remains valid: Abdulrahman's current predicament is self-inflicted.
