"Moving political leadership around is important for fairness and equity. This is also good for development and sense of belonging," the governor remarked, drawing a parallel to the rotation of leadership at the federal level. He urged the people of Kwara North to fully support Danladi's candidacy in the upcoming election.
Moving political leadership around is important for fairness and equity. This is also good for development and sense of belonging. That is why at the federal level, the president practically rotates between the north and south. It is about development, peace, harmony and equity. That is what we are looking at here.
