The Otoge revolution that propelled Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to office in 2019 has delivered on its promises, according to panelists at a summit organised by pro-democracy group Kwara Must Change in Ilorin.

Participants at the event agreed that the movement successfully dismantled outdated political systems and restructured Kwara State on principles of justice and efficiency.

Abdulrazaq Hamzat, convener of Kwara Must Change, stated: "There is nothing that worked in the old Kwara administration that Otoge has destroyed, but there are countless issues unresolved in the past that have now been fixed."

However, he cautioned that the revolution's long-term success depends on overhauling the civil service to ensure sustained progress.

He proposed the establishment of a department of Government Efficiency, modelled after the US initiative, to inject urgency, innovation, and results-driven culture into the state bureaucracy.

A former minister of Youth and Social Development, Dr. Jamila Bio- Ibrahim said that the Otoge revolution has "set a precedent for national replication."

She called for data-driven performance tracking to ensure the promise of inclusion doesn't fade into tokenism.

Also, a former commissioner for Women Affairs in the state, Dr Mopelola AbdulMalik called for deeper investment in structured mentorship, adding that "appointments alone are not enough. We must prepare the next generation not just to occupy office, but to govern with competence."

As the chairperson of the organising committee, AbdulMalik, clarified the group's position on the power rotation debate, declaring that: "Kwara Must Change is not calling for power shift. Our duty is to open the civic space, not to dictate political outcomes. We are here to facilitate honest, inclusive dialogue on issues affecting us all."

The founding chairman of the Coalition of APC Young Stakeholders (CKAYs), AbdulRasheed Salaudeen also corroborated the view of earlier speakers, but warned against the political entitlement syndrome.

The senior special assistant to Kwara State governor on Media and Public Relations, Jerry Kolo, emphasised the mindset challenge, urging a break from outdated ideologies toward embracing new possibilities.
