Chairman of the Elders of Kwara South, James Bamisaiye Ayeni, made this known in Ilorin in a statement made available to the“The people of Kwara South Senatorial Zone hereby echo their support for the emergence of the Speaker of the House of Assembly from Kwara North Senatorial Zone,” Ayeni said.
Ayeni said it was only fair to concede the speakership slot to the north since the remaining two districts of the state-Central and South-would occupy the elective positions of governor and Deputy Governor respectively. “While people reserve the right to pursue their ambition, Kwara South senatorial elders believe that ambition must be tamed and must not be wild to the point of threatening our unity,” he added.
Ayeni called on the people of the state to support the incoming administration of Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq.
