The President of the Restoration Movement, Comrade Peter Kayode, has faulted former Kwara State Commissioner Hon. Julius Towoju over his public defense of Prince Lekan Adewoye, asserting that Kwara South residents deserve character-driven leadership rather than political patronage and inducement.
In a press statement made available to 9japarrot issued in response to a recent radio interview by Towoju, Kayode criticized the former commissioner for acting as a “megaphone” for Adewoye’s political ambition, urging him to preserve the dignity of his past public office.
Kayode questioned Adewoye’s local government empowerment claims and job creation metrics, challenging the former commissioner to address unresolved financial disputes involving international corporate partners.
“Is this the same company reported to be at the center of a dispute with Japanese partners over thousands of dollars, a matter said to be with the EFCC?” Kayode asked.
“If that is false, show us the clearance. If it is true, how does an unresolved allegation become a qualification for leadership?” He added.
Rejecting stomach infrastructure tactics ahead of the 2027 electoral cycle, the youth leader declared that the political allegiance and dignity of Kwara South citizens cannot be bought with momentary relief materials.
“What our people remember is the rice,” Kayode stated. “We were told hunger is Kwara South’s problem, that a bag of rice would keep us quiet and win our votes. Kwara South is not for sale. Our dignity is not a bag of rice.”
Addressing local political developments in Irepodun Local Government Area, the Restoration Movement president alleged that Adewoye lacked genuine grassroots support in Arandun, claiming that attendees at a recent campaign rally were imported from neighboring states following his fallout with the Ultimate Club of Arandun.
“Arandun is not a film set,” Kayode noted, saying “You cannot import a movement without reference to your past records; everything is not money, and human relations matter most, particularly for those seeking public office.”
He cautioned Kwara South voters against supporting politicians who abandon personal and political associates after securing their backing, calling on residents to prioritize integrity, accountability, and long-term community development over financial inducement ahead of the upcoming elections.
