Politics is about service. It is the hallmark of service to humanity through quality representation devoid of fear and comprised thought process. These are the entrenched attributes and basic ingredients needed to provide representation, particularly in Kwara south.

Curiously, the trend of representation in Kwara south senatorial district over time had been figure head representation. The story has not changed with the personality of Senator Rafiu Ibrahim who is re-branding on an identifiable master – servant structure.

It is no longer news that he surrendered the mandate given to him by Kwara south electorates to his godfather, Senator Bukola Saraki while serving as member, Kwara State House of Assembly, Federal House of Representatives, the Senate between 2009 and 2019.

Regrettably, the gloomy picture remains same with the cult- like relationship between Senator Ibrahim and his anointed godfather, Bukola Saraki in his quest to serve as a senator in the Saturday, 25th of February, 2023 election under the platform of a dementia ridden political party, Peoples Democratic Party.

The good news is that, Kwara south people are wiser now. They are knowledgeable to decipher between altruistic and jaundiced representation.

According to a dictum; you can fool some of the people all the time, you can fool all the people some of the time, you certainly, cannot fool all the people all the time.

Therefore, Kwara southerners say NO to proxy representation, NO to a stooge masquerading as their representative.

As usual, in glorifying his paymaster and godfather, in 2018, 42 members from the 4 Wards in Ajikobi constituency were empowered by Senator Rafiu Ibrahim to celebrate Dr Bukola Saraki’s annual birthday anniversary.

The humongous amount of money lavished for the empowerment was obviously from the constituency allocation for Kwara south as a then serving Senator.

In 2022, Senator Rafiu Ibrahim enlarged the number of beneficiaries to 72 from the same 4 Wards in Ajikobi constituency to appreciate his godfather for handing over the Kwara south senatorial ticket to him.

The empowerment items include; 5 Taxi [Mazda], 5 Tricycle, 5 Motorcycles, 10 Deep freezers, 10 set of Computers, 10 Inter locking filling machines, 10 Generators, 10 Scholarships in higher institutions, 10 Clippers, 10 Dryers, 10 Washing machines, 10 Sewing machines, 30 cash donations [100,000.00 EACH]

From the fore- going, Kwara south SAY NO to capital flight representation through annual Ajikobi Ward sponsorship of political programmes that does not have impact on their people and continuous idolizing of Saraki dynasty to the detriment of Kwara south senatorial district.

Kwara south Say NO to representative of a godfather who is in dire need of financial rehabilitation after suffering an embarrassing waterloo in national politics.

Kwara south Say NO to Saraki dynasty tendencies.
Kwara south Say NO to capital flight representation under PDP.

Kwara south Say YES to a ‘son of the soil’ who will truly identify with their genuine aspirations with NO GOD-FATHER.
