The claim that Kwara North has fewer votes is a pure myth, a sheer propaganda tool used by those who seek to remain the perpetual wielders of state power against us. No region in Kwara can deliver a candidate alone;... [1]

STRATEGY vs SENTIMENT: THE GAME AT HAND FOR KWARA
I’ve taken time to critically assess whether bias is clouding my strategic thinking, and after consultation, I can confidently say that bias only accounts for about 5% of my overall position.
In analyzing the opposition, it is evident that Bukola Saraki’s presidential ambition in 2031 is heavily reliant on reclaiming Kwara State for the PDP as a base. That is why, in acknowledging the sentiments around Kwara North, the PDP in 2023 fielded a candidate from the region, largely to fulfill all righteousness despite being fully aware that they stood little to no chance of defeating an incumbent governor in a reelection year. That move, in itself, was not about victory, it was about positioning.
Now, similar to any chess guru, the next move becomes just as important as the initial setup.
It is evident that the PDP will most likely field a candidate from Kwara Central in 2027, and they have been operating on the assumption that the APC will zone to Kwara North. This brings us to the critical question, do you play into their hands, or do you introduce a curveball that finally puts the PDP to rest in Kwara State?
At the core of this dilemma, particularly for Kwara North is the choice between prioritizing pseudo representation and pursuing actual scalable development. Beyond the arguments of equity and fairness, one must ask, what is the value of representation if there is no power to distribute?
The caliber of candidates within the APC, regardless of region, suggests that zoning has not been firmly institutionalized in Kwara politics. This then presents a strategic choice, do you field your strongest possible team, or do you take a sentimental but risky gamble?
Is it better to chase higher odds driven by sentiment, or the surest odds grounded in strategy?
Regardless of the eventual outcome, one thing remains consistent, the APC is a disciplined party that will rally behind its eventual candidate. The real task, therefore, is not just identifying sentiment, but determining which sentiment is loudest and more importantly, which sentiment or strategy actually guarantees victory.
