2027: Don Advocates Shifting Gov’ship Seat To Kwara North

A lecturer at the Department of Islamic Studies in Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin, Kwara State, Dr. Sanusi Lafiagi has appealed to the people of Kwara Central and Kwara South to support the Kwara North zone to produce the next governor in 2027.

Lafiagi made the appeal in a lecture with the topic, “Equity, fairness and justice: the Islamic perspective” which he delivered at a Ramadan lecture and Iftar organised by the ‘Friends of SYD’ in Ilorin, the state capital.

He explained that Allah commands justice and abhors injustice, adding that Islam is built on equity, justice, and fairness which must be adhered to by all Muslims in all their public and private dealings to attain felicity in this world and the hereafter.

Lafiagi said, “I’m a Kwara northerner; a region that has not produced a governor in 26 years. By 2027 when the current governor leaves (office), Kwara central would have been in power for 20 years, while Kwara South held power for 8 years. In the spirit of equity, fairness, and justice, the next governor should come from Kwara North. This is an appeal to our brothers from the other regions. This state belongs to all of us, and we will all contribute to the development.”

He used the forum to offer special prayers for the state governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and his administration for Allah’s continuous guidance and the wherewithal to do more and consolidate the remarkable achievements already recorded.
