Abdulrahman also claimed that Lola had told his supporters during the eve campaign that his party, the APC, has the full backing of the government at the center.

Furthermore, he called on International observers to take note of what he called, the partisan display of the Nigeria Police Force against members of the PDP in Kwara State.
With Rafiu’s continued detention, it’s unclear if he’ll still remain in the net during the conduct of his elections tomorrow.
