Tinubu's Network Expands Amidst Renewed Gubernatorial Challenge from Makinde

The endorsement of a lawmaker for Kwara APC deputy governor, involving individuals like Seun Ogunlade and Bello Lukman, has surfaced two previously unseen co-actors, Alhaji Tajudeen Afolabi and Azeez Bukoye. This expansion of the political network, alongside the continued enigmatic presence of Olusegun Obasanjo and the Progressives Congress Jagaban Squad, suggests a strategic consolidation of influence. The increasing complexity points to an intensifying internal power struggle within the Kwara APC, possibly indicative of a larger, nationally-backed political alignment.
