From Taiye Joseph, Ilorin.

Deputy Senate Leader and Senator representing Kwara South, Oyelola Ashiru, has called on political stakeholders in the district to close ranks and reposition themselves for greater political influence in Kwara State.

Speaking at the Kwara South Stakeholders’ Interactive Meeting in Offa, Ashiru, emphasised the need for grassroots engagement and unwavering loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC), warning that internal divisions could weaken the district’s standing ahead of the 2027 elections.

“As a people, APC is in our DNA, and it should remain the vehicle through which we drive our political aspirations.

We must ensure unity within the party and carry everyone along, elders, youths, and women alike,” he said.

Ashiru acknowledged that APC’s performance in Kwara South declined in 2023 compared to 2019, attributing it to the rise of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and shifting voter dynamics.

He stressed that if disunity persists, the district’s chances in future elections could be compromised.

“Data shows that our losses were not just inflicted by SDP but also benefited the opposition. If we must reverse this trend, we must reposition our party, welcome returnees from SDP, and genuinely integrate new members from PDP and other parties,” he cautioned.

The senator also called for increased voter mobilisation and strategic negotiations to solidify Kwara South’s influence.

He proposed the establishment of a foundation and documentary to honor the district’s political pioneers.

“We must honor the sacrifices of those who paved the way for our progress. Their resilience should inspire us to fight for justice, fairness, and a better future for our people,” he said.

APC State Chairman, Prince Sunday Fagbemi, reinforced Ashiru’s call for unity, warning that internal divisions would weaken Kwara South’s political relevance.

“We need unity in Kwara South. It’s under unity that we can get what we want in the state and put forward the leaders we desire,” he stated.

Fagbemi urged party members to align with Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s vision and avoid premature political campaigns that could distract from ongoing developmental projects.

“Our unity intimidates some people, but we have no choice but to stay united. Let’s focus on development now and leave political ambitions for next year,” he advised.

Ashiru concluded by urging stakeholders to return to their communities with a renewed commitment to strengthening the APC and ensuring Kwara South’s continued progress.
