Tinubu 2027: Senator Karimi Hits Streets, Promises Juicy rewards to Kogi West constituents
Written and compiled by Comr. Olorunhudo Samuel Taiwo on behalf of the group, the letter underscores a profound sense of patriotism and duty, positioning Karimi’s return not just as a reward for excellence but as a strategic imperative for unity, stability, and continuity in representation that would amplify Kogi West’s voice at the National Assembly while consolidating gains in infrastructure, human capital, and grassroots empowerment.
Senator Karimi’s tenure since assuming office has been a beacon of proactive, people-centered leadership that has restored credibility to senatorial representation in Kogi West, marked by purposeful visibility, accessibility, and relentless advocacy for the collective interests of constituents amid national debates on governance and welfare.
In legislative duties, he has shown unwavering seriousness through active participation in plenary sessions, motions, and committee work, consistently raising critical issues affecting Kogi West and the state at large, all while contributing meaningfully to broader national discourses on development and public welfare, reflecting a deep grasp of his office’s responsibilities and the high expectations of his people.
Beyond the hallowed chambers of the Red Chamber, his engagement with the grassroots remains exemplary, with regular consultations involving traditional rulers, community leaders, youth groups, women organizations, professional bodies, and party structures across the district, fostering an inclusive style of leadership built on accountability and responsiveness that has directly benefited thousands through empowerment schemes.
These initiatives have particularly empowered youths and women via skills acquisition programs, economic support packages, and capacity-building efforts designed to curb unemployment and promote self-reliance, while his advocacy in key sectors like infrastructure, education, health, and social development has yielded federal interventions in road rehabilitation, educational aids, healthcare projects, and community developments that have palpably improved living standards and bolstered public trust in governance.
The letter highlights Karimi’s credentials as a loyal and disciplined APC stalwart who has aligned seamlessly with the party’s progressive ideals, promoting internal cohesion over division and earning respect across political divides, arguing that endorsing his second term would signal the APC’s commitment to rewarding performance, loyalty, and competence in a manner that strengthens the party’s position ahead of 2027.
Insisting that leadership continuity is vital for deepening these achievements, fortifying institutional ties, attracting more federal projects, and muting intra-party frictions, the stakeholders warn that anything short of this support risks undermining the progress recorded and the APC’s electoral prospects in Kogi State.
“Democracy thrives when performance is acknowledged and rewarded,” the letter asserts, noting Karimi’s broad-based trust among Kogi West indigenes, before humbly urging the state government and APC stakeholders to favorably consider the appeal in the best interest of the people, the party, and the state, with prayers for decisions that sustain peace, progress, and purposeful governance.
The letter is signed by the Concerned Stakeholders and People of Kogi West Senatorial District.
