Politics has a way of turning yesterday’s friends into today’s fiercest critics. In Kwara State, that transformation is now playing out through a growing dispute involving FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
Wike has accused AbdulRazaq of creating the crisis troubling the state’s political space. His message is direct: the fire in Kwara did not come from outsiders. It began within the governor’s own political house.
AbdulRazaq and his supporters, however, do not accept that the crisis can be explained so simply. As accusations circulate, the political temperature continues to rise. Loyalties are shifting, and rival sides are forming before all the facts are settled.
The dispute has left the governor facing a difficult political reality: the most dangerous conflicts may not come from outside. They can begin inside the alliances that once offered protection and support.
