Kwara Must Change raises alarm over influx of suspected political assassins in Kwara

Leading pro-Democracy group in Kwara State, Kwara Must Change (KMC) has raised an alarm over the influx of suspected political assassins into Kwara ahead of the 2019 general election.

In a statement signed by its state coordinator Comrade Yusuf Olatunji, Kwara Must Change stated that some concerned citizens, who witnessed the strange and unprecedented influx of unknown aliens into their communities, alerted the organization about the presence of the suspected men of the under-world and it called on security agencies to act promptly to avert possible security breaches.

According to the group, ‘’the suspected political assassins were camped in a community known as Olohunda in Asa local government and Eyenkorin in Ilorin West local government’’.

‘’While such aliens might also be in other communities yet to be identified, our sources confirmed that these unknown people were sighted in the above mentioned communities’’ the group said

Kwara Must Change maintained that, the importation of political assassins for the purpose of violence ahead of the 2019 general election shall not be tolerated in the state, as the upcoming election is not a war between enemies, but a friendly exercise to freely elect leaders that will take the state to the next level.

We therefore urge all strong hearted politicians to thread with caution and avoid toeing the path of do or die politics, adding that all Kwarans are members of the same family and election should not turn friends into enemy.
END

Civil Servant commits suicide in Kwara over unpaid salaries, group insist

-
The attention to Kwara Must Change has been drawn to a press statement credited to Senior Special Assistant to the Kwara State Governor on Media and Communications, Dr. Muyideen Akorede who claimed that the Kwara State Government is unaware of any worker’s alleged suicide in the state. Kwara Must Change is not surprised that the Kwara State government is denying knowledge of the man made tragedy created by it, in furtherance of its cruel, inhuman and bad governance. A state government that owes State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) workers over 6 months salaries, yet claiming to owe no worker is nothing but a lying government. So, how would people be surprised if the same government is denying knowledge of this tragic incident that has thrown the entire state into mourning. Rather than clear its debt, pay workers and apologize for causing so much hardship for the good people of Kwara, the government has resorted to cheap denial and propaganda, something we consider very unfo...

Press Release Official withdrawal from the 2019 Presidential election. Good morning my dear friends, this is to inform you all that we were unable to persuade our party Action Democratic Party (ADP) to accept our offer of issuing the party presidential ticket to us in confidence. The need for the request came as a result of the high cost of both expression of interest and the nomination form which cost N800,000 and 8,000,000.00 respectively. It's therefore means that our name shall not be submitted to INEC for 2019 presidential elections. We did all we could to make the party see our project as a national project that would attract the necessary support and funding in due course but the party was not convinced about this. I want to thank you All most profoundly for your undiluted support, it has been a journey made possible by you all, although this was not the end intended, it has been worth each minute of it. Through the course of this journey, I have been privileged...
