All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders in Moro Local Government Area of Kwara State have urged House of Representatives aspirants for Edu/Moro/Patigi in 2027 general election to concede the seat to Moro Local Government.
They said the local government had since the inception of democracy in 1999, been given the opportunity to produce a representative out of the three local governments of Edu, Moro and Patigi.
A statement signed by Mallam Kareem Suleiman for and on behalf of the people of Moro Local Government also backed the zoning of governorship seat to Kwara North.

Advancing reasons why Moro Local Government should be considered, Sulaiman said: ‘’Moro Local Government in Kwara North Senatorial District comprises four other local governments, namely Baruten, Edu, Kaiama and Patigi. The senatorial district also has two federal constituencies, Baruten/Kaiama and Edu/Moro/Patigi.
“Moro Local Government is in Edu/Moro/Patigi Federal Constituency in Kwara State and since the inception of the present democratic governance in 1999, the four local governments of Baruten, Kaiama, Edu and Patigi have been rotating the senatorial seat between Baruten/Kaiama local governments on one side and Edu/Patigi on the other.
“Moro Local Government has therefore been sidelined and isolated in the adopted rotation scheme and has not been given the opportunity to go to the Senate.
“This is much unlike each of the other four local governments, which within themselves, have gone to the Senate at one time or the other in the past and presently.’’
He listed those who have occupied the seats in the past to include the late Yahaya Yinusa from Edu Local Government (1999-2007), the late Bahago Hamman Pategi from Patigi Local Government (2007-2019), Ahmed Ndakene from Edu Local Government (2019-2023) and Dr. Adam Ahmad Saba from Edu Local Government (2023-2027)”.
