The technical progress of any society is fundamentally driven by the collective efforts of its members. Kwara State, with its unique communal spirit, exemplifies a large family compound that unites over 20 different languages and tribes. Since its establishment in 1975, the “state of harmony” has proudly produced seven indigenous civilian governors, starting with Adamu Attah. The remarkable infrastructural and human capital development achieved is a testament to the state’s commitment to progress, independent of the senatorial district from which the governor hails. Adamu Attah himself originated from the Okene area before the formation of Kogi State from Old Kwara State, proving that leadership and advancement thrive in unity, not geographical origin.
As the 2027 gubernatorial election approaches, the conversation around who will succeed Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq intensifies. While many push for a regional agenda, we must prioritize competence, commitment, and the ability to build upon the successes of the current administration. In this context, Abdulfatai Yahaya Seriki emerges as the unequivocal best candidate to propel Kwara State forward.
Yahaya Seriki is not just another politician; he is a grassroots mobilizer with an intimate understanding of the people’s needs. His political journey is defined by unwavering loyalty, deep dedication, and selfless service to the people of Kwara. Unlike many of his peers, Seriki demonstrates that true leadership is about making a real impact rather than pursuing personal ambitions. His substantial investments in human capital development ensure that average Kwarans have access to valuable opportunities that significantly improve their lives.
As the Chairman of Kursi Investment, Seriki’s commitment to job creation and economic growth is undeniable. His company employs individuals from all corners of Kwara and consistently meets its corporate social responsibility (CSR) obligations to host communities every year. This steadfast approach to corporate responsibility exemplifies his profound understanding of governance and his conviction in giving back to society. Should he be given the opportunity to lead, this principle of inclusive leadership will guide his administration.
One key reason Abdulfatai Yahaya Seriki must be the choice for the Kwara 2027 project is his unmatched loyalty to Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq. He has consistently stood behind the governor, providing essential political and structural support to ensure the administration’s success. At a time when politics can often be self-serving, Seriki stands out as a trusted ally who prioritizes the collective good above personal interests.
Moreover, he is the only candidate equipped to continue and enhance Governor AbdulRazaq’s urban renewal agenda. Kwara State has undergone remarkable transformation under the current administration, with significant infrastructural projects executed across all three senatorial districts. Yahaya Seriki not only grasps the vision behind these initiatives but also possesses the passion and capability to elevate them further. His leadership will consolidate existing gains and expand them to achieve even greater socio-economic development.
Beyond politics, Yahaya Seriki is a renowned philanthropist who has made a profound impact across Kwara. His extensive empowerment programs, scholarship initiatives, and community development projects have lifted the underprivileged and created invaluable opportunities for young people. Governance is fundamentally about serving humanity, and Seriki has consistently exemplified this, even outside of public office. Imagine the extraordinary achievements he could realize with the right resources and executive authority.
While some may argue for prioritizing the Kwara North agenda, we must recognize that democracy thrives on competence, capacity, and credibility. Regional representation is indeed important, but it should never eclipse the urgent need for effective governance and continuity. What Kwara demands in 2027 is a leader who is prepared, tested, and genuinely committed to progress. Abdulfatai Yahaya Seriki embodies these essential qualities.
As the political landscape evolves, it is imperative for stakeholders and the people of Kwara to rally behind a candidate who deeply understands governance, development, and the aspirations of the citizens. Abdulfatai Yahaya Seriki isn’t just the right candidate; he is the best choice to lead Kwara State into a new era of prosperity and sustainable growth.
