A lecturer in the Department of Islamic Studies at Al-Hikma University, Ilorin, Dr Sanusi Lafiagi, has urged the people of Kwara Central and Kwara South senatorial districts to support Kwara North in producing the next governor in 2027.
Lafiagi made the appeal while delivering a lecture titled Equity, Fairness, and Justice: The Islamic Perspective at a Ramadan lecture and iftar event organised by the Friends of SYD in Ilorin.
He emphasised that Islam upholds justice and fairness in all dealings, stating that adherence to these principles is crucial for societal harmony and divine reward.
“I’m a Kwara Northerner; a region that has not produced a governor in 26 years. By 2027, when the current governor leaves office, Kwara Central would have been in power for 20 years, while Kwara South held power for 8 years. In the spirit of equity, fairness, and justice, the next governor should come from Kwara North. This is an appeal to our brothers from the other regions. This state belongs to all of us, and we will all contribute to its development,” he stated.
