Observers have described the Kwara governorship election as a two-horse race between the incumbent governor, who is the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and Abdullah Yaman, the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
A source, who spoke with Eko Hot Blog, alleged that the meeting at the Government House may involve plans to influence the outcome of the election as the PDP is leading, according to early results.
