Ajia Holds Interactive Session With ASKOMP, Speaks on Kwara Governance, Politics

An  Associate Professor at University of Missouri, United States Dr Abdulmumeen Yinka Ajia on Wednesday held interactive session with Association of Kwara Online Media Practitioners (ASKOMP)

Ajia, the ARNP Governorship candidate in 2019 polls while chatting with ASKOMP members at his Ilorin Residence, speaks on governance, policies and politics in Kwara as well as Nigeria as a whole.

The Associate Professor noted that ever since the inception of democratic process in Nigeria, only the military Govt has been able to conduct a free and fair election.

“All the elections conducted by the civilians government have always flopped and are full of irregularities, and this is attributed to our Leaders selfishness” he added.

Analysing some of the ways to strengthen our democracy while citing Kwara State as a case study, Dr. Ajiya said “we must not continue to shy away from the truth. The development of the state starts from the grassroots but the condition of our local government areas is appalling.

“We have given Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq enough time to plan on how to conduct the local government elections but I think he has not been doing that. So, we need to remind him.

Ajia however applauded the Governor for making significant progress over the years, noting that AbdulRazaq led administration still have a long way to go to make Kwara of our dreams a possibility.

The University Don gives accolades to  Kwara Central Senatorial district in 9th Senate, Dr Ibrahim Oloriegbe for raising the bar, saying “Sen. Oloriegbe has set the bar so high, it’s my wish that Sen Saliu Mustapha will continue the good work in that fit” He said.

On Climate Change, Ajia cautioned Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu from endorsing Climate Change Conference resolutions. He opened that Climate Action in the country should be tailored towards solving problems facing the citizenry.
