Youths from Kwara North Senatorial
district on Saturday held summit towards promoting political participation as
well as enhanced good governance in the area.
ROYAL NEWS reports that the event
which was held at the Kwara State University, Malete, afforded youths the
opportunity to engage various political representatives from the district on
contentious issues that are keen to the overall interest of the people.
In his remark, the Makaman
Lafiagi, Alhaji Tajudeen Audu, applauded the conveners of the summit for
pooling together political leaders from the senatorial district and engaging in
talks that will further improve the current status of the district.
Represented by Alhaji Ahmed Yusuf,
tbe Makaman Lafiagi who is also a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress,
(APC), noted that, “It is just about time the potentials that are at our
disposal are well harnessed and translated into reality.”
Also speaking, the organising
Chairman of the summit, Hon. AbdulRauph AbdulKareem said: “Kwara North today
has become such a complex place that the struggle for a united and prosperous
future for the youths is taking a new turn and dimension.
“A mini-nation on its own, Kwara
North should be regarded as a senatorial district where unity is strong in
diversity.
Every ethnic group in the district
has its lineage outside the soil of Kwara North. Baruten and Kaiama people have
their lineage in Benin Republic, Nupe people have theirs in Niger State and
Moro people can be traced to Ilorin emirate because of their culture and
traditional bond.”
Meanwhile, a former Senator of the
Federal Republic and Chairman of Kwara North Leaders Forum , Sen.
Ahmed Mohammed, highlighted the
importance of the summit even as he also made it clear that none of
gubernatorial aspirants from the district has been endorsed and as such the
contest for the governorship seat is on a level playing ground for any
intending contestant.
