Now is the time for the good people of Moro to retrospect and tell itself the BITTER TRUTH about its relationship with other local governments in Kwara North.
No local government has had it this bad in Kwara state! In the Kwara South Senatorial District, smaller local governments like Ekiti and Isin with far fewer votes than Moro have produced members of the House of Representatives. Infact, Ekiti has produced a member of the Senate who represented Kwara South.
Let us move to Kwara Central! As politically gigantic as Ilorin West is, Asa has produced members of the House of Representatives more than once. It has also produced a Senator representing Kwara Central.
What then is the crime of Moro local government? We have consistently delivered more votes than Patigi local government, yet, we have always been cheated and marginalized.
The same thing is happening in the recent APC primary elections. We’ve been seeing unconfirmed results from Moro and Edu, but the question on everyone’s lips is: “Where are the results of Patigi local government?”
Rumours has it that it is being withheld to negotiate the Senate election. What then is the future of Moro? When will this injustice end? It is time for every true sons and daughters of Moro to search their conscience and seek for genuine solutions!
Even if we were in Kwara Central and merged with Ilorin. It wouldn’t be this worse! Is it not time for us to begin to reconsider our association in the constituency and the North? The choice is OURS!!!
