How Kwara Central is Paying the Price of Disagreement Between Governor and Senate Representing Kwara Central
Kwara Central Loses Over 1 Billion FG Projects

By: Comr. Sulaiman Abdulfatai O

The alleged disagreement between Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and Senator Saliu Mustapha is reportedly affecting development projects in Kwara Central, with over 1 billion Naira in Federal Government projects potentially being lost. This situation highlights the need for political leaders to prioritize development and put aside differences for the benefit of their constituents.

The Projects at Stake

According to sources, the projects in question were facilitated by Senator Mustapha and are aimed at improving the lives of people in Kwara Central. The loss of these projects would not only hinder development but also deny the people of Kwara Central much-needed infrastructure and services.

The Role of Appointees

The issue lies with the governor’s appointees, who are allegedly hindering project approvals. This raises questions about the role of appointees in project implementation and the impact of their actions on development.

Prioritizing Development

The situation in Kwara Central serves as a reminder of the importance of prioritizing development over political differences. Leaders must put aside their differences and work towards the greater good of their constituents.

A Call to Action

In light of this situation, it’s imperative for the elite to step in and facilitate a dialogue between Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and Senator Saliu Mustapha. A peaceful resolution would not only salvage the projects at stake but also ensure the continued development of Kwara Central. Furthermore, those exploiting the disagreement for personal gain should be cautioned against pursuing actions that could further destabilize the region.

Conclusion

The potential loss of over 1 billion Naira in Federal Government projects is a significant blow to Kwara Central. It is essential for political leaders to prioritize development and ensure that projects are implemented for the benefit of the people. By working together, the people of Kwara Central can overcome this challenge and continue to thrive.

Drama Unfolds in Ogbomoso as Young Woman Rolls in Muddy Water

Drama Unfolds in Ogbomoso as Young Woman Rolls in Muddy Water

A bizarre incident occurred on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, when a young woman, suspected to be under the influence of drugs, rolled in a pool of muddy water with her legs raised. The incident drew a large crowd at Okelerin junction, sparking concerns and speculations.

Eyewitness Account

According to an eyewitness, the young woman was walking towards the junction when she suddenly dived into a crater filled with water at the edge of the road. “She was walking up from GB axis and then as she reached the junction, she dived into the crater, started swaying, and gulping the muddy water ravenously,” the eyewitness recounted.

The eyewitness, a shop owner across the road, initially thought the woman was a devotee of the Osun river goddess due to her behavior. “That was our initial thought that she was an Osun worshipper; in fact, Osun priestesses later came to the scene but they saw she was not of their sect and so they left.”

The Drama Unfolds

The incident lasted for about three hours, attracting a large crowd. The woman’s behavior was described as uncontrollable, and she was seen twirling and gulping the water. Eventually, she regained her senses and was helped to stand. Her first question was, “What am I doing here? What is happening?”

Relatives Intervene

The woman’s relatives later arrived at the scene and guided her home. The incident has raised concerns about the safety and well-being of young people in the area.

Rumor Debunked

Some people in the crowd claimed that the woman was a victim of ritualists and that her private part had been cut off. However, a woman who inspected her found that her private part was intact, debunking the rumor.

Gov Abdulrazaq offsets medical bills for 13 injured Kwara students at UDUS

•wishes them quick recovery

Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has directed immediate release of funds for medical emergencies involving 13 students of Kwara State origin at the Usman Dan Fodio University Sokoto (UDUS).

The Governor also sent a get-well-soon message to the students through the Special Assistant on Students Affairs Hon. Wasiu Onidugbe, praying to God to grant the students safe recovery.

While eight of the students had varying degrees of bone fractures which are considered an emergency, including surgeries, five of them are to undergo other levels of medical treatment — all at the UDUS Teaching Hospital in Sokoto.

“The Governor has immediately released N5,250,000.00 to cover the cost of tests, scans, and other procedures and treatments already itemized by the hospital,” according to a statement by the SA Students Affairs.

The students were involved in an auto crash along the Yauri-Sokoto Expressway in Kebbi State as they were returning to Sokoto. The driver of their car died in the accident.
