Tinubu’s re‑election is a “personal project” for Kogi,

The phrase “Tinubu’s re‑election is a ‘personal project’ for Kogi” refers to commentary that former Nigerian President Bola Tinubu’s 2023 presidential campaign heavily relied on the political support of Kogi State’s governor, Yahaya Ladoja, and local power brokers. Observers argued that Tinubu’s bid was being treated as a personal venture for Kogi’s elite—who sought federal patronage and influence—rather than a nationwide party effort. The remark highlights the perception that Kogi’s political leaders saw Tinubu’s victory as a means to secure projects, appointments and resources for the state. Views Nigeria
