Group rally Kwara youths to sustain political order

A leading pro-democracy group, Kwara Must Change, which is one of the groups that championed the popular ‘otoge’ political revolution in 2019 has initiated moves to sustain political order in the state come 2027.

It is recalled that the group had rallied over 70 youth groups in 2018 to effect a change in government in Kwara state.

In a statement by the convener of the group, Abdulrazaq Hamzat, in Ilorin during a focused group discussion involving several youths across the three senatorial districts, the group said that the mission to sustain the progressive order is a collective responsibility, noting that there is no success without a successor.

The group also said that the task of sustaining the gains of ‘otoge’ should be treated with equal determination as the ‘Otoge’ revolution itself, adding that only those who know the value of the revolution will do whatever it takes to sustain it.

“Kwara Must Change has been following public conversation about the direction the state should head in 2027 and we are pleased to say that we will not be spectators in the process.

“The youths of Kwara will determine the next direction of the state, just as they did in 2019 and we will be playing an active role in shaping the process.

“For us, we understand that there’s no success without a successor and Otoge must produce its own successor to be fully regarded as a successful struggle.“
