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 driven more by Ladoja’s personal ambitions to boost his own influence and secure federal resources for Kogi than by a broader party strategy. This characterization highlights the role of regional patronage networks in Nigerian elections. Views Nigeria
