2019: We are ready to break away if… Emir


SEPTEMBER 29, 2018
The Emir of Yashikira, in Baruten Local Government area of Kwara State, Alhaji (Dr) Umar Seriki Usman, has advised political parties to ensure the emergence of Kwara North aspirants as their respective candidates in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
He stated this on Friday, while receiving a governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), Alhaji Shuaibu Yaman Abdullahi in his palace.
He noted that the section of the state had resolved to mount agitations and breakaway from the state if reverse is the case stressing that, “gone are those days when we do follow-follow.”
According to him, “We are the food basket of the state, we are the commercial hub and pride of the state and we have always being instrumental to political victories in the state.
“Our people have been living in abject poverty, poor conditions, perpetual backwardness, joblessness and enmity among communities. We want a governor from within us and any attempt to do otherwise, we are ready to mount agitation for breakaway from this state because our Kabba and Okene were lost to the present Kogi State.”
He also lamented over the poor road networks across Kwara North Senatorial District maintaining that successive administrations have promised and failed the region saying,  “It is our time to take over the leadership of the state by producing the next governor of the state.

“We need modern equipment for farming; we need qualitative education and good healthcare delivery for our people. This is 21st century and we can’t afford to be living in the dark and unpardonable ignorance. May God assist you in the cause to salvage us all in Kwara state.
The first class traditional ruler however endorsed Alhaji Shuaibu Yaman Abdullahi as the Kwara North candidate for the 2019 governorship race in Kwara State and prayed God to ensure his victory in the party primaries.
Earlier, the APC aspirant had enumerated some of the problems facing the people of the state and promised to betray the trust if elected as the governor in 2019.
