Afenifere in Kwara State is advocating for inclusive political leadership in preparation for the 2027 elections, cautioning against the growing risk of faith-based exclusion in the state's political landscape. The group, led by Chief Lekan Alabi, expressed concerns over attempts to frame leadership around narrow religious considerations, which could undermine Kwara's tradition of inclusivity.

The call for inclusive leadership comes at a critical time amid heightened scrutiny and insecurity in the region.
