The Coordinator of the Concerned Elders Forum, Alhaji Alamoyo for his part, reaffirmed their commitment to zoning the governorship ticket to Kwara North in 2027, citing equity and fairness as key reasons. He said “in the build up to 2023 gubernatorial elections, the Elders forum rallied support for the Kwara Central son who is completing his second term, and the people of Kwara North cooperated with overwhelming support across their five local governments.
