Why Abdulfatai Yahaya Seriki (AMBA) Is the Best Choice for Governor of Kwara in 2027




As Kwara State prepares for the 2027 gubernatorial election, the electorate is confronted with a decisive question: which candidate possesses the vision, experience, and integrity required to translate aspiration into measurable development. Ambassador Abdulfatai Yahaya Seriki, widely known as AMBA, represents that candidate.

*A Business Leader with Practical Economic Acumen*

Prior to his active political career, AMBA founded and serves as Managing Director of Kursi Investments Limited. His experience building and managing a successful enterprise has provided him with direct expertise in job creation, capital mobilization, and private-sector growth. These competencies are essential for Kwara’s next phase of development—attracting domestic and foreign investment, strengthening small and medium enterprises, and expanding employment opportunities for the state’s youth. AMBA brings an operator’s mindset, grounded in fiscal discipline, efficiency, and results-oriented management.

*Proven Political Experience and Commitment to Party Unity*

AMBA’s political record reflects both dedication to the All Progressives Congress and a willingness to place the collective interest above personal ambition. In the 2019 APC governorship contest, he was a leading aspirant who voluntarily stepped down to support Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq. That decision was instrumental in consolidating the “O To Ge” movement, which ended decades of entrenched political control in Kwara. Serving as Director-General of the campaign, he coordinated grassroots mobilization across the state’s three senatorial districts, built broad-based coalitions, and helped deliver a decisive victory. This experience positions him to govern with authority while preserving party cohesion and public confidence.

*A Philanthropist with a Documented Record of Community Impact*

Through the Yahaya Seriki Foundation, AMBA has translated values into concrete action. The foundation’s programs are structured around four pillars:

- *Education for All* – scholarships, learning materials, and support for schools to improve literacy and access, particularly in underserved communities

- *Youth Empowerment* – vocational training, mentorship, and entrepreneurship support to equip young Kwarans with market-relevant skills

- *Community Development* – interventions in water supply, rural infrastructure, and community welfare projects

- *Healthy Kwara* – free medical outreach and healthcare services for populations with limited access to care

This sustained engagement demonstrates a leader who understands the daily challenges ordinary Kwarans face and has been addressing them well before an election cycle.

*A Comprehensive Governance Agenda*

AMBA’s 2027 platform is anchored on inclusive development under the slogan “AMBA FOR ALL, ALL FOR AMBA.” His policy priorities include:

- *Agriculture and Agro-Processing* – modernizing farming practices, supporting value-chain development, and boosting rural incomes

- *Infrastructure* – upgrading roads, water supply, and power to enable commerce and improve quality of life

- *Healthcare* – expanding access to primary healthcare facilities and preventive care across urban and rural areas

- *Education and Skills* – investing in schools, technical training, and digital literacy to prepare the workforce for a changing economy

- *Transparency and Accountability* – instituting prudent public financial management and citizen engagement in decision-making

*Why He Is the Best Choice for Governor of Kwara in 2027*

AMBA stands out as the optimal candidate for 2027 because he embodies three qualities Kwara urgently needs:

1. *Proven Capacity to Deliver* – His business leadership demonstrates an ability to manage resources efficiently and produce tangible results.

2. *Political Experience and Unifying Leadership* – His role in the “O To Ge” movement illustrates his capacity to unite diverse stakeholders, build consensus, and govern inclusively across Kwara’s senatorial districts.

3. *Commitment to People-Centered Development* – Through the Yahaya Seriki Foundation, he has already invested in education, youth empowerment, healthcare, and community development, showing a consistent record of service that predates his candidacy.

In a period when Kwara requires economic growth, inclusive governance, and leaders who have already demonstrated service, Abdulfatai Yahaya Seriki offers the combination of competence, credibility, and compassion. For voters seeking a governor who can grow the economy, strengthen institutions, and serve all citizens, AMBA is the best choice for Kwara in 2027.

Court Sets Aside Arrest, Remand, Wanted Declaration Against Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Magistrate Court sitting in Ogba, Ikeja, Lagos, has set aside its earlier ex-parte order authorizing the arrest, remand, and “wanted” declaration of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran. The development follows the earlier declaration of Akanbi as wanted for alleged multiple murder by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Moshood Olorundare Jimoh, on February 19, 2026. However, in a ruling delivered today, Magistrate L.A. Owolabi of Magistrate Court 3 nullified the ex-parte order initially granted on February 16, 2026. In his decision, Magistrate Owolabi held that the order was obtained through the concealment of material facts. The court specifically noted that the counsel who filed and argued the application, Nosa Watson Uhumwangho, was under suspension by the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee at the time and therefore lacked the right of audience before the court. The ruling sparked jubilation among members of the youth wing of the Ojomu royal family, who...
