Kwara Must Change Online Senatorial Polls To End Today

Leading Pro-Democracy group in Kwara State, Kwara Must Change (KMC) has announced that its 3 online senatorial polls ahead of the 2019 general election shall end today and it urges more people to participate in the poll before it is concluded.

The 3 senatorial polls are for Kwara Central Senatorial district between People's Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Senator Bukola Saraki and All Progressive Congress (APC) candidate, Dr Ibrahim Oloriegbe, Kwara South senatorial district between APC candidate, Arc Lola Ashiru and PDP's Senator Rafiu Ibrahim and Kwara North senatorial district between APC candidate, Sadiq Umar and PDP Zakari Muhammed.

In a statement released on Wednesday, signed by its President Abdulrazaq Hamzat, Kwara Must Change stated that it believes that the result of the 6 days poll would indicate, to a great extent, the direction of the 2019 election in Kwara State.

The online poll currently running on Kwara Must Change (KMC) Facebook group and page respectively was created 6 days ago and it has been running ever since.

Experts have argued that, accurate predictions of elections can be critically important for business and social purposes. Households and businesses may base important economic decisions on the likely policies of a future government, if polls indicate a possibility of change.

Reliable polls would also help citizens make better informed plans ahead of time, rather than reacting chaotically to an unforeseen turn of events.

Analysts maintained that, although election polls attract a great deal of attention for their ability to predict the outcome of elections, their most important function is to help journalists and citizens understand the meaning of the campaign and the election.

Polls help to explain, among other things, what issues are important, how candidate qualities may affect voters’ decisions, and how much support there is for particular policy changes.

Kwara Must Change (KMC) therefore calls on all members of the public to carefully follow the poll on its facebook platforms and also participate.

Before N11.9 Billion is stolen at NHIS by IG Wala

If you ran into this man on the road, you may be too sympathetic to feel like throwing some stipends to him. Don't make that mistake please.

This is Attahiru Ibrahim, the Ag. Executive Secretary of NHIS who the Minister of Health has boxed into a corner and compelled to release the sum of N11.9 billion from civil servant enrollees money in their custody.
NHIS money is not money coming from the Government to the agency. It is citizens contribution for Health service delivery by mostly civil servants. This is the money that is being mismanaged by this man and the minister.
In another corrupt development, the Ag. ES in the month of August 2017 approved the sum of N30, 661,400 to himself and 5 of his cronies to attend a training they didn't register for.
The Global Flagship Course on Health Systems Strengthening and Sustainable Financing: The Challenge of Universal Coverage was to take place in Washington DC, the United States between October 21 - 31, 2017.
Mr Attahiru Ibrahim paid himself and 5 other people N30, 661, 400 for the above training which they didn't register for.
How can you be paid for a training you didn't register for, not to talk of participating?
CATBAN is authoritatively reporting that the program in Washington DC was rounded up yesterday 27th October, 2017 and none of this people who received money were their.
DETAILS OF AMOUNTS GIVEN TO EACH OF THEM AND THEIR PHOTOS WILL BE PUBLISHED ON CATBAN’S PLATFORMS ON SOCIAL MEDIA WITHIN THE WEEK.

Open Letter To General Muhammadu Buhari

Open Letter To General Muhammadu Buhari

Edozie Okeiyi

His Excellency
General Mohammed Buhari.GCFR
Former Head of State of Nigeria.
10th October, 2014.
Dear Sir,
OPEN LETTER TO GENERAL BUHARI
I have been constrained to write you through the media because I do not have an alternative way of reaching you. Permit me to share my opinion on your presidential ambition, which I think is equally shared by many Nigerians of my generation irrespective of ethnic or religious differences.
Sir, I heard about you first on the 31st of December 1983. Then I was a ten year old boy in primary six, celebrating with the whole nation on the arrival of our military Heroes. At least so we thought! The jubilations were spontaneous. The nationwide celebrations signalled the demise of the second republic and ushered in the military dispensation commonly referred to as the Buhari/Idiagbon regime. Immediately you launched the War Against Indiscipline and introduced the Nationwide Monthly Sanitation Exercise. The WAI crusade stuck in my brain and still reverberates up till now. To simplify the message my Teacher introduced an Igbo acronym for WAI: Wepu Ajo Ihe; which literally translates: Remove Bad Thing.
Sir, I must confess that the image that stuck in me about Buhari/Idiagbon was that of two no-nonsense characters, straight talkers, people who meant yes when they said yes and vice versa. This impression I believe was equally shared by many others in my generation.
Today, I am a 41 year old Nigerian. A lot has changed. I see things differently now. I am now a fully grown man who can analyse issues critically. One thing I believe passionately is that it is very important for one to set a standard for oneself, but equally more important to sustain the standard.
On the final lap of your presidential campaign for 2011, you made an open declaration in front of the media and your supporters, without mincing words you stated emphatically that 2011 would be your last attempt to contest the Presidency. Going by your legacy and standard, many People including I took you by your words. After all Buhari means yes when he says yes. However that promise was short lived. Before one can say Jack Robinson you have joined the race again for the fourth consecutive time, contrary to your open declaration.
Of course I concede you have every right to change your mind and contest every election as long as you live. It is however very remarkable to observe that you shot yourself in the foot when you reneged on your promise to Nigerians not to contest the Presidency again. So judging you by your own standard, you have fallen below expectations. The pertinent question people are asking now is ” HOW CAN WE EVER TRUST YOU AGAIN”? Another important questing worth asking you is ” WHAT IS NOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUHARI AND OTHER POLITICIANS”? I would say none! Oh yes you have got the constitutional right to contest, but eating your words has done your reputation more harm than good. People now see you, and quite justifiably, just like a typical politician who is unstable and unreliable.
Some of your supporters continue to amuse me by claiming that President Jonathan allegedly signed a one term pact with them. Unlike you Jonathan never made any open declaration to serve only for one term. Those of them who continue to make this ridiculous allegation have refused to produce the transcript of the said agreement or tender any proof to substantiate this. So as far as Nigerians are concerned Jonathan never struck any one term deal with us. But you did promise openly and suddenly reneged. In fact you actually sealed the promise with your tears. An elder Statesman of your calibre and pedigree made a promise and shed tears to seal it, that should have been final. It is very symbolic when an Elder sheds tears in the continent of Africa. It was a covenant with Nigerians not to contest again. A promise abruptly broken. But this is politics. Everything is possible in this game.
Sir, I know you have many reasons for reneging on your promise but most of these reasons are laughable. Some claim your supporters put pressure on you to change your mind, but this is an old excuse which is as old as Nigeria. Even late General Abacha had people begging him to contest. A principled and disciplined officer like you should have remained steadfast to your open declaration. Others claim you are still young, after all you would be only 72 by the next Presidential election. At 72 you would still be much younger than Mugabe. So they claim! But they conveniently refused to check Mugabe’s next door neighbour Madiba. Suffice it to say that Mandela is the very opposite of Mugabe and the ideal role model for all African leaders. Mandela declined to go for a second term because according to him , age was not on his side. He could have won a second term and transformed to a life President if he wished. But he never did. He voluntarily made way for the younger generation to continue from where he stopped. This is what is expected of you now to retire voluntarily and join the respected league of Elders where you truly belong.
Another reason which some of your supporters have tendered is that you are genuinely motivated by service and patriotism. I gladly take this on board. I can give you the benefit of the doubt that you are driven by the urge to serve your fatherland. This is a very valid reason. But Sir, I have an important question here for you. The question is simple, MUST YOU SERVE NIGERIA AS A PRESIDENT ONLY? IS THERE NO OTHER CAPACITY YOU CAN SERVE US EXCEPT THE PRESIDENCY? It is very erroneous to imagine that you can only serve Nigeria only in one capacity. During the regime of late General Sani Abacha, you accepted the appointment to serve as the Chairman of the then Petroleum Trust Fund PTF. The general opinion was that you served faithfully in this capacity. Well done Sir! But you never asked Abacha to vacate office for you as your former subordinate in the army. Never! In fact that would have been a dangerous move, if not suicidal. Rather you served faithfully under your former junior in the army. Sir, imagine if you take on another job like the Chairman of EFCC or ICPC or NDLEA. Nigerians actually need you to serve in one of these capacities much more than they need you in the Presidency. Mere mentioning your name as Chairman of EFCC would drive many corrupt men underground. But you wouldn’t . Either the Presidency or nothing. So it seems!
Sir, let us examine your service records. I consider your generation a very privileged one, indeed. In 1975 at the age of 33, you were appointed the Military Governor of the North-Eastern State, present day Borno & Yobe states. In 1976 at the age of 34 you became the Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources. In 1978 at the age of 36 you became the Chairman of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). Today the reverse is the case. Most Nigerians at age of 35 are still unemployed and still living with parents. Many are still not married. During your time you were already Governor at this age. One major reason for this unfortunate turn of events is that many elders like you have refused to voluntarily handover the baton to the next generation. Life should be a relay race where one runs his race and hands over to the next. In Nigeria many elders like you have run their races and are still holding on tenaciously to the baton. When are you going to handover to the next person? It is either you do it voluntarily or risk disgrace at the polls. In 1983 at the age of 41, exactly the same age as my humble self now, you became the Head of State. Most Nigerians in my age have not had the opportunity to serve, but we still remain committed to the Nigerian project. You should rather be graceful to God and to Nigerians for the numerous opportunities that have come your way to serve Nigerians. Others are begging for just one opportunity to serve.
Sir, you have to accept the stark reality on ground that you have served your time already. That is life for you. You run the race, you handover the baton for others to run, you cannot hold on to the baton more than is necessary. As a former head of State you are already a member of the Council of State Meeting. You have every avenue to channel your views across. You don’t necessarily have to be in a frontline role, you can serve in an advisory capacity. That is still service.
In conclusion, let me state that the greatest beneficiary should you emerge candidate of the APC would be President Jonathan. It is crystal clear that you cannot defeat President Jonathan in a free, fair and credible election, even in Katsina State. Sentiments aside, Jonathan would cruise to a landslide victory should you emerge candidate of the APC. In fact many political analysts believe that President Jonathan wants you to emerge as the APC flag bearer in order to secure a cheap victory. In fairness to you, any of your Children would pose a serious challenge to Jonathan more than yourself. I do not see Nigerians electing a 72 year old former Head of state to lead us in this Digital era. With due respect to you Sir, you belong to the Analogue age and therefore, will not fit in as president in this digital era. This is the blunt truth. Please do not enter the Guinness book of world records on a negative note. Losing four consecutive Presidential election would not augur well for your reputation. It is in your best interest to assume your position as an elder statesman and allow others to serve. Nigeria does not belong to you alone. It belongs to us all.
Respectfully Submitted.

SANUSI LAMIDO, A BAD ROLE MODEL .PART 1

SANUSI LAMIDO, A BAD MODEL. PART 1


I have not hidden my dislike for Mallam Sanusi Lamido's style of leadership and pursuit of power at all cost,this time is not different.
I am also aware that some youths in Nigeria see's him as a role model,but i wonder. What role of Sanusi is
worth modeling? other than the role of truth distorting,fact twisting,reality confusing,Goldy misrepresenting,history
diverting,pride, shoulder Highness,insincerity and hidden agenda.


Their is no doubt that Every man has a wrong side,this i believe is why the great philosophy said,No man is perfect including myself. Since Every one is prone to error, it would be unjust to condemn someone based on some errors he committed,which is why we must differentiate between error and intentional deceit.


An error is a deviation from accuracy or correctness; a mistake, as in action or speech. it could also be defined as a wrong doing of someone which he did unintentionally.


If such error is realized,the person in questions would be willing to apologize for it and make correction if possible.


Deceit is the act or practice of deceiving ; concealment or distortion of the truth for the purpose of misleading; duplicity; fraud or cheating.


An intentional deceit is a planned action which is aimed to deceive others to achieve a desired end goal. This action would be achieved by intentionally misinforming others so as to shift their attention away from the hidden motive.


This write up is not talking about the errors of our dearest CBN governor, Mallam Sanusi Lamido,but the deceit.


WHO IS A ROLE MODEL?
Let me start by defining a role model,according to wikipedia, The term role model generally means any "person who serves as an example, whose behavior is emulated by others", and According to the dictionary refernece.com,role model is a person whose behavior, example, or success is or can be emulated by others, especially by younger people.


But according to wikihow,Role models are important. They help us become the person we want to be and inspire us to make a difference. Choosing wisely means that you are influenced correctly and will help you be the best person you can be. Please take note of this particular definition.


In other definition of a model,it was defined as a person or thing seen as an excellent example of a quality which is why i ask, Is Sanusi Lamido an example of a quality and truthful leader to be emulated? which would inspire we the young people to be what we want to be?


This brings me to the question, what do we, the young people of Nigeria want to be or achieve for our country? Do we wish to achieve through political desperation, the sectionalism of our region?, the tribalism of our heroes?,hypocrisy of our leaders?, or the sentiments of our fathers?.


As for me, i want to bring positive change and Transformation devoid of the sentiments of tribe,religion and region.


On several occasions,I have expressed my displeasure with some of the actions of our leaders without fear of being castigated by their hardened followers,who not only consider everything they do as good and worthy of emulation but always defend their actions no matter how bad it is,and also do attack and condemned anyone with a different view.


Before i proceed,I wish to categorically state that the aim of this writeup is not to discredit some of the good work of Mallam Sanusi Lamidu or tarnish his image as a person,but to air my view of his leadership style and pursuit and to point my fellow youths to a positive direction through carefully selecting a model and also having a limitation in supporting and copying, when some thing goes wrong with our choice of models.


Like i used to say,I am not a follower of any leader but just a supporter. I support what you present when i consider it
good and against it when i consider it bad. it is not about you as a person but what you present at a certain time. A
follower may follow his adored model till death or pit,but as a supporter,i have limitation.
Sanusi Lamido is no doubt an intelligent man who may have positively contributed in one way or the other to the banking
sector,i can't but appreciate him for his intelligence and effort toward repositioning the Nigerian Banking sector. But despite that,I consider him a power monger who desire power at all cost,which explain his actions so far as the Governor of the Central Bank Of Nigeria.


Please,Permit me to start from Mallam Sanusi's national Controversial life which affects not just those in the banking sector,but the country at large. The introduction and promotion of Islamic Banking.


I understand that Islamic banking is based on Islamic Sha’riah Law which provides all solutions to financial problems, so should every Nigerian. We all should understand that Islamic banking is not here to damage our financial institution, but rather aimed to fix the existing damages. According to Islamic law, interest is totally prohibited in Islam because interest has lot of bad effects on the society such as their earning capacity, purchasing power and increase poverty, unequal distribution of wealth and credit crisis in an economy. According to Usmani (2005), the main drawback in interest based system is financier has no concern with money when he gives an interest bearing loan to a client. But in Islamic financial contract cash money is not given to client, first of all they purchase the commodity and transfer to client then all profit and loss will be distributed between parties according to agreed terms and conditions (Usmani, 2005). Despite this, it does not mean that Muslims cannot always deal in the normal banking system as their is different opinion from various scholars about interest. Islam Completely opposite riba (interest) but at the same time did not stop one from doing business and making profit. inceif.academia.edu


I am aware that Islamic Bank (Jaiz bank) was first introduced to Nigeria without question in 2003, which means that when it goes through the right process,it was never criticized or condemned by anyone. This can be confirmed by mere typing jaiz bank 2003 on Google.com.


what happened to the first Islamic bank in Nigeria which started in 2003?
How is the same Jaiz bank which had received the permission to start operation in 2003 suddenly became a new bank enjoying the promotion of the same CBN in 2011?


Ordinarily as a Muslim,i should support the Islamic Banking considering the fact that my religion discouraged us from the
Interest based banking and this is exactly what the Islamic bank is all about. But i also know that the Christian Religion
also discouraged Christians from Interest based banking, which automatically put both religion on the same page as far as the sermon of the None Interest banking is concerned.


Listening to the promotion of Islamic Banking introduced by Mallam Sanusi Lamido,the loudest part of it, is the fact that Islamic banking is happening all over the world including USA and UK. So i ask, why should Islamic Banking be practiced in Nigeria because it's being practiced in USA or Uk? Just last year,The National Assembly made a law banning same sex against all the pressure from the Western World like USA and Uk,since same sex is being practiced in their country as a human right that should not be denied, they pressured  and vowed to sanction Nigeria if we go ahead with the law,but because we consider it not good for our society,we said no to it. This is to explain that Islamic Banking should not be promoted based on it being practiced in other countries.

Also,Mallam Sanusi Lamido admitted that he didn't initiate the idea of Non Interest Banking,which means that his predecessor,Charles Soludo had already been working on it before him,but he didn't tell us if Charles Soludo made any noise about it or named it None Interest Banking or Islamic Banking. That aspect was intentionally not clarified.


Since both Christianity and Islam embraced the Non Interest banking, why the choice of Islamic banking as a name? of course, it has a reason.


From my understanding,the first Official None interest Banking in the world was first experimented in Egypt,an Islamic state. which is why other countries practicing it retained the name,but if we feel the banking system is good for us and the name is just the problem due to the religious tension in the country,it is meaningful in my opinion to adopt another neutral name such as, Religious Banking or just None Interest banking which would give everyone security to participate in the it without fear or sentiments,but Mallam Sanusi Lamido hold on to the name Islamic banking for a reason.


Point of note: Every one is in support of Non Interest Banking,the name Islamic banking is just the concern. A leader who truly want a national progress and convenience for the people would never bother himself with just a name,but Mallam Sanisu insisted for a reason.


It was during the debate of Islamic banking that the Boko haram Sect started it's bombing around the north east region,we thank God that the Islamic banking have not been commissioned to start operation before that period,if the Islamic banking had been forced on those who consider it a way of Islamizing Nigeria,it would be difficult to say the new Islamic banking is not responsible for the funding of the Boko Harma Sect to complete the Islamization of Nigeria, which would result in serious crisis beyond what we have right now.


If the name of the bank is just a religious bank or Non Interest bank, do you think such accusation would be leveled against the bank without any proper linkage? Despite knowing what this simple name could cause,Mallam Sanusi went ahead with it without minding what may happen even when their is other better and easy way to do it.


Some people may claim labeling the Islamic bank a sponsor of such organization if it had started before Boko Haram begin
their activities would amount to hate on the Islamic religion,but i ask such people,have you ever seen the kind of Boko Haram terror in Nigeria? it would be easy and physically connecting to say that the new Islamic banking made it possible.
For example,If armed robbers robbed a house and went along with another man's id card,upon completing the robbery,they dropped the id card of this innocent man on the floor of where they robbed and the Police came for
inspection after the robbery and found this innocent man's id card,who do you think is the  robbery suspect? The owner of the Id card of course.


In this case,Islam is the Innocent man and those robbers are the people hiding under it for their selfish reasons. Even though the innocent man, (Islam) is clean,he became the number one to receive the blame and punishment.


Why did sanusi Lamido Insisted on Islamic banking when other names may be better for peace and progress?


Only one reason may be responsible for this action. He wants to position himself before the Nigerian Muslims especially the north to rape our heart through religion, as someone that is worth supporting and loved for promoting Islamic ideas.
This would place him in a better position to gain support and be considered for elective office when he stands as a
candidate for governor,president or any other position in the future.


Many may think otherwise,but the truth is,The Islamic banking is never for any purpose other than that in my
opinion. He made a tactical loss to Nigeria to gain a strategic victory in the heart of the million of Muslims and northerners.


Religion is said to be used to rape human heart,this is exactly what i consider happened in the case of Sanusi and the
Islamic banking. The main concern of this man is not to promote Islam or make Nigerians enjoy the None interest banking,but to place himself in a better position for electoral victory.


To understand me better,Permit me to take you to Zamfara State where the shariah Law is being practiced.
Shariah law is no doubt a system of government that protect Human right and equity,In fact,It is the best form of government that can be practiced to prosperity. Though,this system is being misunderstood.


For example,It is true that for stealing under the shariah law government,the hand of the culprit shall be cut off. But who is a thief under shariah law? A thief is not someone who steals because he his hungry or because he his in need badly,It is some one who steals out of greed and for luxury. If someone is caught stealing under shariah law,he would be investigated to know why he steals,if it is because he his hungry,shariah said such person must be given enough food so he could not steal again. But if he steals out of greed just like some of our politician and others,It is people like that whose hand shall be cut off,just like people calling for death penalty as the punishment for corruption. Don't you see that the Shariah law is not bad as it seems?


Today,after shariah law was deceitfully introduced to zamfara and practiced in hypocritical manner,Sharia law is seen as bad before the people as a result of the activities of some Muslims,they give Islam bad image. The Zamfara  state
governor(Yerima) who introduced Shariah according to Wole Soyinka in the publication,the next phase of boko haram said,He had to use it to make the governorship position. In professor Wole Soyinka's word (Why do I use Yerima? Because in him, you also encounter the fusion of a credo in Northern ism and at the same time in Islamism. So you can see somebody like him as an opportunist. And I say this, you know, because he himself admitted to some of our people in NALICON during the immediate post-Abacha era, when he was asked why he decided to turn Zamfara into a theocratic state in a secular dispensation. He said, and I dare him to deny it, that it was the only weapon he had to snatch power. He said the PDP machinery was so strong that he needed something which would appeal to raw emotions, to mobilise and get the governorship.) He made the governorship and left Islam with bad Image of his wrong doing. This i believe is what the Islamic banking is all about.


Furthermore,going around the world where Islamic Banking made success,the majority of its success can be attributed to the acceptability by the people. Islamic banking made success because it was peacefully introduced with education and manners,if it was forcefully introduced like the case of mallam Sanusi,we would probably not heard of any success of the Islamic Banking.


How do we expect the sanusi's version of Islamic banking to make the required impact in Nigeria when it was not introduced with the most sincere intention? The bank would be perceived never with confidence or trust,but Constant suspicion which would affect its operation. Would it make the required impact?


The Islamic banking not just divided Nigeria along religious line,but placed the unity of this beautiful entity on constant
question.


It has been said that the Islamic banking is for everybody both christians and Muslims,But how many of the Muslims  asking Christians to participate in Islamic banking would participate in a christian Banking? yet they want Christians to accept what they themselves can not accept without following the teaching of prophet Mohammed (SAW) which says: never do to others,what you can not accept.


If this Islamic Banking stays as it has,The Christians have promised to start Christian banking and i can't blame anyone for it, other than Sanusi. Some may say that is not a problem, but of course it just divided us. I am sure if the Christianity Banking is what came first,it would generate as much controversy as the Islamic banking did and the operation of both banks would not only bring religious competition but the challenges that would follow may be had to control.


How is this Islamic Bank different?
Alhaji Umaru Abdul Mutallab is said to be the chairman of the Islamic bank and others,the same people who had been operating the commercial banks. The same people who had milked the several banks through deals and interest.The chairman Alhaji Umaru Abdul Mutallab was described by The Times in 2009 as being "one of the richest men in Africa and by The New York Times as "among Nigeria’s richest and most prominent men. where did he made all those money other than through loans, interest and deals from the banks he chaired? How different would he run the Islamic bank? A former Executive Vice Chairman, Managing Director, and CEO of the United Bank for Africa (UBA) (1978–88).the former Chairman of Nigeria's oldest and largest bank, First Bank of Nigeria Plc (1999–2009).He was the same chairman of Jaiz bank which operated in 2003.


Why make Religion your tool for seeking political power? This is hypocrisy.

PDP WON KWARA ELECTION,BELGORE HAS NO CHANCE

PDP WON KWARA ELECTION,BELGORE HAS NO CHANCE

Action Congress of Nigeria members in Kwara State are quick to express their confidence in the ability of their Party ACN to reclaim the mandate of the last Governorship and Senatorial Election against the People Democratic Party(PDP) lead administration of Alhaji Abdulfatai Ahmed,but little did they know that their party has no case or any chance of the tribunal victory.

ACN WRONGLY ELECTED (ASI IBO DI)

You may be wondering what this is all about? the same way i wondered.

Its all in Osun state,The state of the living spring where the victory or will i say the manipulation of the Action congress worked in favor of their  Governorship candidate and subsequently for all their candidates in the Senate,House of Representative,State house and other positions.

The latest slang in Osun State at the moment is (Se ati si Ibo di bayi) meaning( haven't we wrongly elected). A question waiting for answer.

When the Governor, Rauf Aregbesola won in court,I congratulated him and said to the people around me,This Government will be worse.

My dad,not ACN member,but a supporter who usually attribute the ACN style of leadership to the legacy of Awolowo among many others condemned me as enemy of progress. But i am so surprise last week to see him after returning from Osogbo where he his based to call me and say, Abdul,you were actually right all this long.

He said,In Osun at the moment,The people living in the state including ACN members had confessed they made the wrong choice in ACN. The language they use is that (Se ati si ibo di ba yi) meaning (haven't we wrongly elected)?

To my brothers and sisters in Osun,Haven't we wrongly elected? be sincere
