  "account": "A recent article authored by Adeniyi Ishola, which attempted to suggest that Governor Abdulrahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara was falling out of favor with President Bola Tinubu, has been widely criticized. The article, which attempted to act as both an investigative report and opinion piece, contained several inaccuracies and speculations. The writer tried to paint an unfavorable picture of the governor, claiming that he had been relegated to the role of a state director in President Tinubu's newly formed Presidential Campaign Council. However, the writer's claims did not hold up under scrutiny. The governor's presence in the council is necessary for the success of the re-election campaign for President Tinubu and all APC candidates. The writer also claimed that the governor had pushed family members for positions in the council, which is entirely unfounded. The writer's allegations of corruption and political discord within the All Progressives Congress in Kwara have also been debunked. The governor has been unfairly blamed for the party's setbacks, and his taciturn nature has made him an easy target for political opponents.",
  "summary": "Oloriewe Raheem Adedoyin I read with amusement the article by one Adeniyi Ishola which, ostensibly to provoke interest, had the tendentious headline: “Has Abdulrahman fallen out of favour with Tinubu?”",
