Traditional rulers and stakeholders in Kwara South Senatorial District of Kwara state yesterday endorsed the Igbomina bloc to produce the next senator that will represent the district in 2027.
Speaking at the meeting of the monarchs and other stakeholders from the senatorial district on Monday held at the palace of Ajase-Ipo in Irepodun local government area of the state, the Chairman, Igbomina Traditional Rulers Forum and Olupo of Ajase-Ipo, Oba Ismail Yahaya, noted that political records since the return to democratic rule in 1999 showed that the Ekiti bloc had produced Sen. Simeon Ajibola, who served for about 11 years, while the Ibolo bloc had produced Sen. Rafiu Ibrahim and the incumbent senator, Sen. Lola Ashiru, for 12 years.
Oba Yahaya, who spoke on behalf of the Igbomina bloc comprising Ifelodun, Isin and Irepodun Local Government Areas, said the appeal was directed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Gov. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and other relevant authorities to sustain the long-standing rotational arrangement among the three blocs in Kwara South.
