2023: Stop Chasing Shadows, Wahab Issa Mocks Olododo

Image
The attention of the Wahab Issa Campaign Organisation (WICO) has been drawn to a certain report by a self-confessed failed lawmaker whose speciality appears to be muckraking and has also been adjudged by his constituents as having wasted their precious time as a legislator in Abuja with nothing to show for it except for the sponsors of premature bills that have not seen the light of the day for almost four years on the floor of the House of Representatives.  In another puerile move, the candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) Hon. Gani Cook Olododo, while reacting to the analyses of some social commentators was carelessly deriving pleasure in attacking the personality of the leading candidate and his counterpart in the PDP, Hon. Abdulwahab Oladimeji Issa, whose achievement is unbeatable, experience is cognate, capacity is proven and knowledge of his constituency is profound. Olododo was tingled by the resolutions of these critics stemming from several factors such as the ant...

Electrifying Crowds Welcome Wahab Issa In Ilorin East, South, As Saraki Joins Ward Tours

Image
  The candidate of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) for the Ilorin East and South federal constituency, Hon. Abdulwahab Oladimeji Issa was received by a mammoth crowd during the continuation of his rally across the constituency led by the former President of the Nigerian Senate, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki (CON) recently. A mini road show embarked upon by Saraki and Wahab Issa on their way to Sabo Line from the palace of Balogun Fulani witnessed a massive turnout. There was traffic gridlock as a result of the festival-like reception from the people in the area.  Speaking at the tour, the immediate past Senate President, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki described the atmosphere as a spontaneous reaction to what the youths have been through at the hands of the ruling party at the state and national levels. “A lot of them were given the wrong impression and unkept promises and they have seen that it’s time to go to a government that will support and care for them. We have said the APC ...

Re: 12 Years Ago, Someone Represented This Constituency But Failed To Give Good Representation

Image
Our attention was drawn to a report worded with bitter lies and unfounded misconceptions credited to the candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) for Ilorin East and South Federal Constituency, Hon. Ganiyu Cook Olododo, pointing fingers at the leading candidate in the race who represented the federal constituency some 12 years ago at the Lower Chamber of the National Assembly, claiming that he was a failure. This is not only condemnable but also laughable. No doubt, this is borne out of Hon. Cook's desperation to remain in power, which has spurred him to keep swimming in murky waters.  This rejoinder I feel is necessary at this critical moment. I want to dedicate this message to those who say the truth, propagate the truth, defend the truth, fight for the truth and are ready to die for the truth. Hon. Abdulwahab Oladimeji Issa is not perfect. He is definitely not without fault as a politician but the little light in him completely overshadows the darkness in others like Hon. ...
