*Kwara Youth Strategic Movement: Regulatory Complain On Campaign Advertisment, Count Emir of Ilorin Out of Partisan Politics*

Our Attention has been drawn to a letter purpotedly written to the Kwara State Directorate of DSS, from the Kwara State Signage and Advertisement Agency noting that it received a complain from the Palace of the Emir of Ilorin over what it described as inciteful and indecorous use of campaign slogan by a Political Party.

It is completely disingenious for anyone or group of persons to suggest that the Emir of Ilorin, Alh. Dr Ibrahim Sulu Gambari CFR, will indicriminately express partisan support for any political candidate or Party.

The Emir of Ilorin has over the years demonstrated beyond any scintilla of doubt, his commitment to the core principles of fairness equity and justice.

It is instructive to note that the Emir will continue to use his dignified position to offer guidance, support and fortitude to all and sundry, regardless of inclination or political leaning and interest.

It is also important to advice every political Party to avoid statements that will inflame unnecessary passion and emotive reactions.

We also encourage Politicians to conduct themselves in the most acceptable manner and in line with standard practices, by showing resposnibility in action and utterances.

Amb. Gegele Ahmed Ibrahim
State Coordinator
Kwara Youth Strategic Movement

This unfortunate incident reflects the doctrine that subscribes to the position that politics is a power game, when in the true sense of it, politics is the art of selfless service to fellowmen. This prolonged power game made Ramoni take the people of this State for a ride for the last 18 months by his abysmal disappointing performance coupled with his failure to take cognisance of his pre election campaign promises. The only achievement and that which is visible is propaganda coupled with blame game. Now that the deed is done and the battle is lost and won, Kwarans are eagerly waiting for the aftermath of the Governor's victory over his platform (APC) that catapulted him to ...
