The Kwara South Integrity Group under the All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed the recent statement issued by the “Kwara 4 Kwara North Movement” (K4KNM), describing it as misleading, unconstitutional, and driven by entitlement politics.

Speaking with the newsmen on Friday,  Segun David Buoye, on behalf of the group said it felt compelled to address “false narratives and misconceptions capable of misleading the public,” despite considering K4KNM “a fringe political group relying solely on zoning as the only qualification for its anointed aspirant.”

Buoye  reaffirmed that every qualified member of the APC, regardless of senatorial district, has the constitutional right to contest the 2027 governorship ticket.

JUST  EVENT ONLINE report, referencing claims by K4KNM that the 2023 presidency was zoned to the South, the group dismissed the argument as “careless and historically inaccurate.”

“All aspirants contested freely in 2023. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu won through political capacity, national support, and structure — not zoning.”

They faulted attempts by K4KNM to portray endorsements by certain traditional rulers as binding on the people, urging them to stop dragging traditional rulers Into politics.

 “Traditional rulers are custodians of culture, not political decision makers. Their role is moral guidance, not partisan endorsement,” the group said, warning against what it described as dangerous politicisation of royal institutions.

Reaffirming its position, the group declared that Kwara South is ready to produce the next governor of the state in 2027, citing competence, experience, and solid political structures. The group also encouraged aspirants from all senatorial districts to pursue their ambitions responsibly and respect the Constitution.

The group said political imbalance does not cause banditry or kidnapping. Insecurity requires coordinated action, not media politics or zoning propaganda. It advised youths and supporters to avoid insults and emotional blackmail in political debates.

The Kwara South Integrity Group reiterated its loyalty to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC, and party leadership at all levels, while pledging to support whoever emerges after the primaries.

It urged K4KNM to allow its preferred aspirant to face democratic primaries like others, affirming that every aspirant has equal right to contest.
