Communities ask INEC to excise them from Kwara North

Date: 2017-09-06

Communities in Moro local government area of Kwara State have urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to excise the council from Kwara North Senatorial District in its constituency delineation.

The people under the aegis of Moro Concerned Elders Movement (MCEM) said that the council is a minority in the Kwara North senatorial district.

Addressing its members in Shao, MCEM President Alhaji Isiaka Jimoh asked INEC to "either group the council with Kwara Central or Kwara South Senatorial District, with which the council shares geographical contiguity and same cultural and linguistic affinity."

He also called on "all indigenes of the local government to mobilize themselves and partake in the ongoing continuous voters registration exercise as well as get prepared for the November local government election in the state."

Jimoh lamented the poor state of infrastructure in the council, adding that there is "total lack of all seasoned motorable tarred roads within the entire local government area, as all known roads in our area have been deliberately abandoned. This is to the detriment of the economic wellbeing of the people of the council."

"There is also inadequate and dilapidated conditions of the primary and secondary school buildings in the entire area and the near complete non existence of health care delivery services in the area, compelling our pregnant women to continue patronizing the traditional birth attendants."

He demanded for the "creation of a separate traditional council for the local government in compliance with the Constitution of the Federal republic of Nigeria."

The movement also urged the state government to "consider and grade the traditional rulers of Okutola, Lanwa, Bielesin, Ejidongari, Olooru, Bode-Saadu, Budo-Are, Malete, Elemere, Oloworu and Babaloke."
