According to him, the “legacy APC” faction, led by former Governor Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, held a meeting where consensus was reached in favour of Murtala Sule Garo as the preferred nominee for deputy governor.

Doguwa noted that while there were a few dissenting voices, 27 of the 31 stakeholders present supported Garo’s nomination.

He said the decision was based on Garo’s political experience, his role as the 2023 deputy governorship candidate, and his influence across the state’s 44 local government areas.

He also added that Garo’s origin from the Gwarzo-Kabo federal constituency made him strategically suitable for the position.

Although three names were submitted to the governor in line with official requirements, Doguwa described the other two as “space holders,” insisting that Garo remains the group’s main choice.

He appealed to Governor Yusuf to consider the recommendation, expressing confidence that the decision would strengthen political cooperation ahead of the 2027 elections.

He stressed that democracy cannot function effectively where opposition is weakened or silenced, warning that such a situation could make the country volatile.

He lamented that while attacks continue to claim lives across several states, both government and opposition figures are politicising the crisis instead of finding lasting solutions.

Yusuf pointed to repeated attacks even after official assurances, arguing that criminal groups are increasingly emboldened and openly challenge state authority, including issuing warnings before carrying out attacks.

He further claimed that in some cases, armed groups operate with little fear of consequences, while public trust in state protection continues to weaken.

According to him, the growing influence and acceptance of such groups in some communities is a dangerous trend that could worsen if not urgently addressed.

He warned that failure to tackle insecurity decisively could lead to a situation where criminal elements gain even more legitimacy within society and political structures.

Speaking on the Beast Mode Podcast, Iwobi said personal experience facing the two superstars influenced his opinion.

However, the Fulham midfielder said his experience against Messi left a deeper impression, especially during his Champions League debut for Arsenal against Barcelona at Camp Nou in 2016.

He described being overwhelmed by the atmosphere and the star-studded Barcelona team featuring Messi, Neymar, Suarez, Iniesta, Xavi, and Dani Alves.

Iwobi said Messi’s control of space made him feel untouchable on the pitch, adding that defenders could barely get close to him whenever he had the ball.
