We will take Kwara out of the woods -Ex-Rep member, Moshood Mustapha

An Ex-house of Representatives member, Moshood Mustapha, has said the Kwara Redemption Movement, KRM, will rescue the state from the woods in 2027.

He made the assertion at the inauguration of executives of the movement for the 16 local government areas of the state in Ilorin on Thursday.

Mustapha, who was a loyalist of the current All Progressives Congress leadership in the state, said “we are back to the trenches again to change the political narrative after our victory in 2019 which has not produced any meaningful result or success.”

He lamented that “those who were in the ‘Oto ge’ struggle which swept the Peoples Democratic Party government out of power in 2019, have nothing to celebrate, because things are not okay.

“Things are not the way they are supposed to be, we must change the status quo, we will right the wrong, we are all stakeholders, KRM is to ensure that Kwara is rescued from the rot.”

Mustapha, charged the inaugurated members to go back to the local government areas to inaugurate executives at the ward levels and coordinate to get the target of 300,000 members for the movement.

In his speech, the coordinator of the movement, Akogun Iyiola Oyedepo, said the major philosophy of the body is to provide a positive paradigm shift in the politics of Kwara State.

“This is because we are not satisfied with the state of affairs generally in the state.”

Oyedepo, a staunch proponent of the ‘Oto ge’ revolution, stressed the importance of sensitization to create awareness or consciousness that will make people understand their plights, the cause of it and what they can do to change their sometimes deplorable conditions.

He described the movement as a group of diverse people hitching to change the political narrative in the state, adding, “let us attack the system and change the narrative for good.”
