Re: Will Ahmed make it to Senate in 2019

This piece is in reaction to the article published in the January 7th edition of Daily Trust on Sunday, titled “Will Ahmed make it to Senate in 2019?” While we think that the debate on the 2019 Kwara South Senatorial District Senate ticket is premature since the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Kwara State has established procedure for producing ticket bearers in all elections, we emphasize that Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed is at the moment focussed on fulfilling his mandate as governor of Kwara State and has not declared interest in contesting for the position or any other. Having said that,  we need to state very clearly that the governor is not unpopular.
