  "account": "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.",
  "summary": "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",
