- Key figures from APC and PDP in Kwara North gather, alongside stakeholders, to pursue gubernatorial representation in 2027 election
- Stakeholders prioritize unity over partisan affiliations, aiming to secure equitable representation and development for Kwara North
Key figures representing the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara North, alongside other stakeholders, convened in Moro Local Government Area over the weekend. Their collective resolve? To earnestly pursue a democratic path towards ensuring that Kwara North secures the gubernatorial seat in the upcoming 2027 election.
This gathering, inclusive of traditional leaders and inhabitants from the five councils constituting the district, underscores a palpable desire for representation from Kwara North, a region that has yet to produce a governor for the state since the advent of democracy in 1999.
The absence of indigenous leadership in Kwara North has ignited widespread clamour for a shift in power dynamics, with mounting calls for the gubernatorial mantle to be passed to this long-neglected region.
During the stakeholders’ assembly facilitated by the Kwara North Youth Consultative Forum (KNYCF), attendees were impassioned to set aside partisan affiliations and rally behind a unified Kwara North candidacy. This collective call for unity signals a determined effort to transcend political boundaries in pursuit of a common goal: to ensure equitable representation and development for Kwara North.
