The landscape of Kwara South Senatorial district politics underwent a seismic shift on Tuesday night, when Engr. Sola Ajimati officially unveiled the “It's Youth O’clock Movement” (IYOM) during a pre-declaration dinner held in the nation’s capital.
The event, which served as a strategic soft launch for Ajimati’s 2027 senatorial ambition, under the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), was an elite convergence of political heavyweights, business moguls, and youth influencers.
In a keynote address, Ajimati noted that the movement is not merely a campaign slogan but a "decision point" for a district brimming with untapped potential.
“This is more than a political ambition—it is a call to action,” Ajimati declared. “The time has come for a new generation to rise, to lead, and to build a future that works for everyone. IYOM is not a slogan; it is a movement of responsibility. We are not here to make noise; we are here to build systems that work.”
Addressing the core philosophy of IYOM, he noted that the movement aims to mobilize young professionals and entrepreneurs to take the reigns of policy-making. “The truth is simple—the future cannot be outsourced,” he maintained.
Ajimati, outlined a practical, five-point agenda for Kwara South, focusing on: security, empowerment, infrastructure, education and transparency.
“My ambition is not about position; it is about responsibility,” Ajimati stated. “I have seen our reality—young people ready but unsupported, communities strong but unsecured. We cannot keep waiting.”
Observers at the event described the unveiling as a "masterstroke in political positioning," signaling that the 2027 race for the Kwara South senatorial seat will be driven by technical competence and grassroots impact rather than traditional rhetoric.
In his closing remarks, Ajimati called for immediate commitment from stakeholders to invest in the vision of a modernized Kwara South.
“Tonight, I am asking you to do more than attend. I am asking you to commit your support, your influence, and your resources. Not tomorrow. Now. Because what we are building here is bigger than politics.”
