…Zone’s Demand For Guber Slot
A mega rally by stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the five Local Government Areas of the Kwara North Senatorial District has been described as a defining moment for unity and political alignment in Kwara State.
The stakeholders in their numbers converged on the Metropolitan Square in the capital city on Tuesday in a massive show of support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid and for their renewed calls for picking the APC governorship candidate from the zone ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The event, tagged the Kwara North Mega Rally, attracted a large crowd of political leaders, youths, women groups, traditional rulers, and supporters from all parts of the State.
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress and 2027 Kwara North senatorial aspirant, Dr Mahmud Umar Muhammad, popularly known as Sodangi Etsu Patigi, joined other key stakeholders to rally support for the President and the Kwara North political agenda.
Speaking at the gathering, Dr Mahmud Umar Muhammad described the turnout as a strong signal of unity and determination among the people of Kwara North.
“What we are witnessing here today is not just politics; it is the unity of purpose. Kwara North has spoken clearly, and we are speaking with one voice for progress, for inclusion, and for 2027,” he said.
He further declared support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, affirming that the President’s leadership has continued to inspire confidence among party faithful across the State and the country as a whole.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu was also strongly endorsed at the rally, with participants chanting solidarity messages and pledging continued support for his administration.
Dr Mahmud emphasised that the growing unity within the Kwara North Senatorial District must be sustained beyond electoral cycles, stressing that the region’s political relevance depends on cohesion and strategic engagement.
“The strength of Kwara North lies in our togetherness. When we stand united, we are not ignored. This rally is proof that our future is bright if we remain focused,” he added.
The rally also doubled as a platform to amplify the call for equitable political representation, with renewed agitation for Kwara North to produce the next governor of the State in 2027.
The atmosphere was further energised by the presence of traditional leaders, youth coalitions, and women groups drawn from across the 16 local government areas of the State, including strong representation from Patigi Local Government Area.
The event was held under the broader umbrella of the Kwara North political movement, which continues to gain momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections, as stakeholders insist that unity remains the strongest tool for political negotiation and development.
Ilorin served as the convergence point for the mega rally, with participants describing the gathering as peaceful, strategic, and historic in scope.
Also present were party stakeholders and representatives of national business and political groups, who commended the spirit of unity demonstrated at the rally.
Dr. Mahmud concluded by urging continued cohesion among political actors in Kwara North, insisting that the region’s aspirations for 2027 must be pursued with discipline, unity, and sustained engagement.
