Kwara North Senatorial Representation, Moro Local Government Make Case for Equity and Inclusion

Since the return to democratic governance in 1999, the Kwara North Senatorial District has witnessed a rotation of leadership across several local government areas. A brief look at the historical representation highlights this pattern:

1999–2003: Ahmed Baba Zuruq Nneka (Patigi LGA)

2003–2011: Ahmed Mohammed Inuwa (Baruten LGA)

2011–2019: Mohammed Shaaba Lafiagi (Edu LGA)

2019–Present: Suleiman Sadiq Umar (Kaiama LGA).

While this progression reflects a level of inclusiveness among some parts of the district, it also brings to light a longstanding gap—Moro Local Government Area has yet to produce a senator in the Fourth Republic. This reality has increasingly fueled concerns about fairness, equity, and balanced representation within Kwara North.

As the 2027 senatorial race approaches, there is a growing and unified call across the district for justice and inclusivity. Stakeholders—ranging from respected elders and community leaders to market women, youths, and political actors—are advocating that Moro LGA be given a fair opportunity to represent the district at the Senate.

Amid this consensus, one name continues to resonate strongly across different segments of society: Engineer Suleiman Rotimi FNSE, FNIMECHE. A former Commissioner for Works and a prominent figure within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Engr. Rotimi represents a new generation of leadership—dynamic, experienced, and deeply connected to the grassroots.

His track record in public service, combined with his political maturity and widespread acceptance, positions him as a credible and unifying candidate. For many, his emergence is not just about political ambition, but about correcting a historical imbalance and fostering a more inclusive future for Kwara North.
As conversations around 2027 gain momentum, the call is clear: equity, fairness, and justice must guide the decision-making process. Giving Moro LGA the opportunity to produce the next senator is not just a political choice—it is a step toward strengthening unity and ensuring that every part of Kwara North has a voice at the national level.
