APC Aspirant Afolabi Critiques Danladi on Moro's Exclusion

Hussein Afolabi, an All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Representatives aspirant for the Edu/Moro/Patigi Federal Constituency, criticized the Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Salihu Yakubu Danladi, regarding his remarks on Moro's demand for political representation. This occurred during a meeting on October 8, 2026, in Bode Saadu, where Danladi suggested that Moro should not claim a lack of candidates, citing himself and others as examples.

Afolabi contended that this response overlooked Moro's long-standing demand to produce its own representative at the National Assembly. He pointed out that since the return to democratic rule in 1999, representatives from Edu and Patigi have occupied the Senate and House of Representatives seats, leaving Moro unrepresented.

Afolabi argued that the principle of equitable political representation should apply at both state and federal levels and urged political leaders to engage with the community's grievances fairly. He also referenced a pending lawsuit concerning the APC ticket for the constituency.
