AliyuOlawale writes on the current steps being taken by concerned stakeholders in Kwara State to drag an unassuming administrator, Suleiman BolakaleKawu, into the murky political water of the state ahead of the 2027 gubernatorial poll.
In every generation, a moment arises when history calls not for a mere politician but for a statesman, one whose ambition is not for self but for society. That moment is now, and that leader is Engineer Suleiman BolakaleKawu, the Dan Iya of Ilorin Emirate and HaskenLafiagi Emirate, his life is a testament to silent service, not loud slogans. Though he never lobbied for power, his consistent compassion, humility, and community-driven impact have compelled the people to call upon him, not for himself, but for the soul of Kwara State.
This call is greater than any individual or party. It is not about Kawu. It is not about PDP. It is about Kwara. Our state has become a shadow of its promise, burdened by a leadership that thrives on division, vengeance, and vanishing goodwill.
