KRM To Rescue Kwara’s Political Void Ahead Of 2027 Elections- Oyedepo
Former chief whip in the Kwara State House of Assembly and legal practitioner, Akogun Iyiola Oyedepo has announced the emergence of a new political bloc christened Kwara Redemption Movement (KRM).
Oyedepo who is the leader of KRM in a position obtained by LEADERSHIP, said KRM aims to be apolitical stating it is “to revitalise the state’s political culture and advance in a more progressive manner the collective interest of the state and its people.”
According to him, the state has experienced “a grave political void in the political affairs of the state,” pointing out that while no organisation ever championed the holistic interest of the people of the state, “an organisation as strong as this must come to the state’s rescue.”
It should be noted that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are the two major parties in Kwara State.
Recall, APC took over leadership of the state in 2019 from the PDP.
An investigation conducted by Leadership showed that the membership of the group is drawn from across the major political divide with full representation from the three senatorial districts of the state.
The position paper also disclosed that the alleged poor leadership experienced by the state over the years and occasioned by “the worst selection process, have often led to the negative development and progress of the state is a primary concern of the movement.
It stated the preparedness of the leadership of the group to reach out to as many notable individuals and groups as possible “since part of its cardinal concerns is to unite the people and ensure that the principle of equity and fairness take a more centre stage in the state come 2027.
“For a very long time in this state, we operate governments that become dysfunctional as a result of misplaced priorities and mismanagement of the state economy,” it added.
