2027: Kwara women, youth endorse Salaam for Senate

As the 2027 elections approach, youths and women from the Kwara South Senatorial District have endorsed Dr Kazeem Olayimika Salaam to represent them in the Nigerian Senate.

The announcement was made after a strategic meeting of the Kwara Youths Council for Democratic Advancement (KYCDA), which was held at the District’s headquarters in Omu-Aran during the weekend.

According to the group, the endorsement was based on Salaam’s outstanding leadership qualities demonstrated through community development, youth empowerment and philanthropy.

In a statement signed by KYCDA’s Coordinator, Wasiu Abdallah and made available to Tribune Online on Sunday in Abuja, the group emphasized that supporting Dr Salaam would bring an end to decades of below average representation saying he can replicate his expertise, experience in the private sector and benevolence in the federal parliament.

The coordinator described the youths’ and women’s decision to back Salaam as a powerful statement of unity and a desire for better representation adding that his (Salaam’s) unwavering commitment to the development of Kwara South, both in terms of infrastructure and human capital, has made his appeal to young people and women strong and clear.

The group said the endorsement came as a testament to the trust that youths and women have in his leadership capabilities.

The statement read, “Today is special for all of us as youths and women in Kwara South Senatorial District as we unanimously endorse Dr Kazeem Salaam as our next representative in the Nigerian Senate in 2027.
