Since the restoration of democratic governance in Nigeria in 1999, the historic town of Saki—renowned for its rich cultural heritage, economic potential, and resilience has experienced moments of both political triumph and marginalization.
In over two decades of democratic rule, our community has had the distinct honor of producing only one son elevated to the distinguished office of Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
This solitary ascent, while symbolic of our capability and potential, is grossly inadequate when measured against our population, strategic significance, and consistent electoral participation.
Now more than ever, we must confront the pressing need for stronger, more effective representation at the highest legislative level. In this context, the emergence of Hon. Kareem Tajudeen Abisodun popularly known as Wẹ́rẹ́, as a credible, visionary, and unifying candidate presents a timely opportunity that must not be squandered.
Hon. Kareem Tajudeen Abisodun is not merely a politician; he is a bridge between our past struggles and future aspirations. His commitment to inclusive development, advocacy for the underserved, and mastery of grassroots politics position him as the ideal candidate to carry Saki’s aspirations to the hallowed chambers of the National Assembly.
Beyond his credentials, what sets him apart is his capacity to attract critical federal attention to our long-neglected infrastructure, education, agriculture, and youth development needs.
The title “Distinguished Senator” is not one to be bestowed lightly. However, in Hon. Kareem Tajudeen Abisodun, we find a man already distinguished by his service, character, and vision. By addressing him as such, not out of premature celebration but as an emblem of our collective resolve, we affirm our readiness to chart a new course for Saki and reclaim our rightful place in the national discourse.
This is a clarion call to every indigene of Saki: traditional leaders, political stakeholders, youth, women, and the diaspora. Let us rise above personal interests and factional divides. Let us rally behind a candidate who symbolizes the unity and progress we so desperately seek. Let us, with one voice and steadfast commitment, send another worthy son to the Senate, a true representative who will bring the dividends of democracy home.
The time for Saki’s renewed political relevance is now. Let us make history, once again.
