Our love for impunity stinks by Abdulrazaq Hamzat

Evidences after evidence has proven that, most Nigerians love impunity committed by their friends, their tribal people, their religious circle and political affiliates. No matter how unjust such impunity is, they will always find a way to defend and justify it. However, majority Nigerians disgust impunity done by people not in their good circle, be it ethnic, regional or political. Their reason for hating such impunity is not because they hate impunity or sympathize with the victim, but because they want to cast the perpetrator in dark light for whatever reason. Two important events that happened this week reconfirm some opinions that claimed that Nigerians are not really ready to have a better country. Once again, we held tight our chains and declare our love for impunity, without feeling any sense of responsibility or remorse. Few days ago, National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) conducted an election to chose new sets of leaders. An election, which was suppo...

Kwara Must Change wishes to assure all Kwarans that for the first time in recent history, the people will be the sole determinant of their leaders come 2019. This assurance became necessary due to the activities of some political jobbers, who are proving themselves enemy of the people by attempting to sell the future of the state as they have always done by usurping the democratic right of the people to choose their own leaders.

Kwara Must Change hereby condemn such an undemocratic call in the strongest term and we are informing the inconsequential group that never again, will Saraki or any individual be allowed to choose gover...

The group, under the aegis of Kwara Ready for Change (KRC) made this known in a statement issued during the weekend in Ilorin by its coordinators in the 3 Senatorial Districts namely, Ismail Zakariyau (Kwara Central), Mallam Nasirudeen Abiola (Kwara North) and Mrs Shade Sanni (kwara South). The group said they believe that the next governor of Kwara state should come from Kwara North in the interest of fairness and justice. ‘’Since Nigeria’s return to democratic governance in 1999, Kwara Central has governed the state for 12years, Kwara South is completing its 8 years in 2019 and it is only natural for Kwara North to take over in 2019’’. They also added that, having searched through Kwara North for a worthy candidate capable of leading the state to greater height, t...
