This development follows widespread youth support, with chants of “It’s Hon. Bowale Sosimi that we’re interested in.” As a seasoned politician, Hon. Bowale Sosimi is considered well-equipped to drive development in Somolu Local Government.
Somolu Youth’s Commitment to Peace
We, the Somolu youth, unite in promoting peace and harmony among our diverse religious communities. We condemn scaremongering and divisive rhetoric, celebrating our shared humanity and commitment to coexistence. We call on leaders to promote understanding, tolerance, and respect. Together, let’s build a brighter future for Somolu, free from fear and discrimination.
Questions for Reflection
As Somolu navigates its political landscape, questions arise about potential influences behind religious issues. Who might be fueling these tensions? Is it Hon. Faleke, Council Chairman Dullar, or the Chief Imam of Somolu? After eight years of Muslim chairmanship, concerns about marginalization seem unexpected. Shouldn’t Christians also have opportunities to lead? Why are certain individuals from Kogi State, like Hon. Faleke, BKO, and Dullar, seemingly involved in Somolu’s politics?
Let’s focus on building peace and progress for Somolu’s future.
