By Balogun Arisekola Azeez, Offa Kwara state.

As Nigerians are preparing for the 2027 general election which will pave ways for new country leadership, the Senate Deputy Majority Leader who is representing Kwara South senatorial district at the 9th National Assembly has expressed optimism in winning the election, saying that he has the best of credentials to rule Kwara State.

Senator Oyelola Yisa Ashiru made this deceleration while receiving executive members of the Correspondents’ chapel of NUJ Kwara state in his Offa country home on Sunday.

“I have come into this race. Before now I have not come out to say I will contest, but in sha Allah, I am going to contest because I believe I have the best of credentials to rule Kwara State for the next four years starting in 2027 and I believe I probably understand the people and the place called Kwara because I have been here longer than any contestant”, he said.

He also said that he understands the people and the place called Kwara better than anyone as he has been here longer than any contestant.

“The best thing is to give everybody a chance to choose the best of leader, I was even saying at that time that I sympathize with the Kwara nortth because they have been cheated out of power for a very great time, they have a good reason to say it’s their turn but power is not like that. It’s not served in plate, you struggle for it. You present yourself for it. It doesn’t really matter whether you are a Christian, because Christian has won an election in Kwara state.

“It doesn’t really matter whether you are from Ilorin, because AbdulFatah has won election and he’s not from Ilorin. Baba Adebayo had won, Shaba too. But we must recognize the fact that Ilorin people are better prepared than all other senatorial districts. But it doesn’t always mean they will always be winning.

“In anything you are doing prayer is very important. I believe God will answer my prayers and I will do very w

ell”, he said.
