Early Crack as Kwara North Group Rejects Zoning
In a surprising twist to the political landscape of Kwara State, a group, the Kwara North Integrity Group has taken a firm stance against the concept of zoning in the upcoming gubernatorial elections.
In a press release issued by the forum, and read by its Chairman, Comrade Ibrahim Dauda Kpoatwua, they vehemently opposed what they termed as "ethnic or regional agitations" that could potentially disrupt the existing peace and harmony within the state. The forum emphasized the need for unity and a governance structure driven by competence, regardless of ethnic or religious affiliations.
Highlighting their commitment to a progressive Kwara that transcends parochial interests, the forum stressed the importance of a development agenda anchored on competence, integrity, and the collective welfare of the people.
They rejected sentiments as a basis for leadership selection, advocating instead for a merit-based approach that prioritizes skill and proven track records in governance.
As the voice of the youth in Kwara North, the forum outlined their vision for a future where competence serves as the primary criterion for leadership. They expressed readiness to support candidates from any part of the state, provided they demonstrate exceptional competence and integrity.
The forum's rejection of zoning presents a significant divergence from prevailing narratives within Kwara's political sphere, setting the stage for potential friction and debate in the lead-up to the elections. As stakeholders across the state grapple with differing perspectives on governance and representation, the unfolding dynamics within Kwara North foreshadow broader tensions that may shape the state's political trajectory in the foreseeable future.
