The constituency comprises three culturally rich and agriculturally dominant LGAs: Edu, Moro, and Patigi. It is a major player in the Kwara State’s political framework. Its communities, from Lafiagi and Tsaragi in Edu to Jebba and Shao in Moro, and down to Patigi town along the River Niger, have long been known for their contributions to agriculture, river-based trade, and traditional leadership.
