Hala! Na serious matter wey dey happen for Kwara State o. Members of the All Progressives Congress, wey dem call Kwara Political Leaders of Thought (KPLOT), don jam idea wey no dey carry zoning for governorship seat come 2027. E be like say dem no gree follow the talk wey some people dey push to zone the seat for a particular senatorial zone. Dem talk say na who get the better character and competence wey go lead well, na im matter pass.

As dem dey yarn for Ilorin, the group leader Mohammed Mariam Alhassan carry am come say, “Kwara no fit follow zoning gist. If person dey competent, we no go check where him come from.” Na true talk be that! E no matter whether na from North, South, or Central. Wetin matter na who fit stand up challenge the gwan gwan for security wey dey face Kwara now.

Alhassan talk say Kwara dey face war, no be small thing. E say banditry and terrorism don turn the state to epicenter of wahala. From Edu to Patigi, Ifelodun to Isin, we dey see everyday danger wey people no fit manage again. Dem dey recognize federal and state government efforts, but gbagam! Communities still dey suffer. Security no dey secure at all.

“Any leader wey fit carry Kwara go front, whether na from North, South, or Central, make we support am,” Alhassan yan. E dey feel say we don reach time to drop all this emotional politics wey dey confuse us. “No time for sentiment and turn-by-turn politics wey no fit help,” na wetin kpam kpam una suppose hear.

KPLOT no just stop there. Dem also advise traditional rulers make dem no enter politics, o. Dem say if monarchs enter that side, e fit scatter the sacredness of the throne. “Royal institutions dey derive strength from neutrality,” na wetin Alhassan dey talk. If dem no careful, e go bring wahala wey no go be small.

As the guber election dey approach, the call for zoning don dey grow for Kwara, especially from Kwara North. But with KPLOT talk say make we focus more on competence than zoning, as e be so, wahala go dey if we no follow wisdom. E dey evident say this guber matter no go fit resolve like before again, as we dey face serious reality on ground. E be like say the next candidate wey go lead Kwara fit come from anywhere at all.
