All Kwara South Traditional Rulers United on 2027 Senate Seat Agitation – Olupo of Ajase-Ipo

The Olupo of Ajase-Ipo, Oba Ismail Bolaji Muhammed Yahaya Atoloye Alebiosu, has affirmed that the call for the zoning of the Kwara South Senatorial seat to the Igbomina axis enjoys the backing and support of traditional rulers across the senatorial district.

Speaking in a telephone conversation with this medium, the monarch said the agitation for equity and fair political representation is not an isolated position of the Igbomina Traditional Council but one that has received widespread endorsement from royal fathers across Kwara South.

According to him, several traditional rulers from different parts of the senatorial district have personally reached out to express solidarity with the demand, describing it as a just and reasonable call aimed at preserving fairness, inclusiveness, and political stability within the district.

The Olupo stressed that support for the Igbomina aspiration transcends ethnic, clan, and political considerations, noting that the quest is rooted in the principle of equitable power rotation rather than sectional interests.

He challenged those attempting to portray the agitation as a divisive or ethnic campaign to seek public declarations from their own traditional rulers if they believe such contrary positions enjoy similar royal backing.

The monarch commended members of the Igbomina Traditional Council and other stakeholders for pursuing the cause through peaceful advocacy and constructive engagement, emphasizing that the growing support from across Kwara South demonstrates a shared commitment to justice and balanced political representation.

He maintained that the overwhelming consensus among traditional rulers reflects a collective desire to strengthen unity in Kwara South by ensuring that every constituent bloc is given a fair opportunity to occupy elective positions within the established framework of equity and rotation.

As we celebrate this year’s Eid El Kabir, I extend my warmest greetings and heartfelt felicitations to all Muslim faithful and the entire people of our dear kwara South senatorial district.

Eid El Kabir reminds us of the timeless virtues of sacrifice, obedience, love, unity, and compassion. It is a sacred season that calls on us all to renew our faith in God, strengthen our bond with one another, and recommit ourselves to the ideals of peace, tolerance, and selfless service to humanity.

At this important moment, I urge us all to continue praying for the peace, progress, and prosperity of Kwara South, Kwara State, and Nigeria as a whole. Our collective strength lies in our unity, and together, we can build a more inclusive, progressive, and prosperous future for our people.

I deeply appreciate the unwavering support, trust, and encouragement I continue to receive from the good people of Kwara South. Your faith in our shared vision remains a source of inspiration and motivation.

May Almighty Allah accept our sacrifices, answer our prayers, bless our homes with joy and abundance, and grant us many more celebrations in good health and peace.

Eid Mubarak to you all.
