Kwara State’s History of Harmony
Our state has a rich history of cultural and ethnic diversity, with the Yoruba, Nupe, Fulani, and Baruba people living together in harmony ¹. Let’s continue to celebrate our differences and work towards a common goal – a brighter future for Kwara State.
The Power of Youth
As young people, you have the power to shape the destiny of our state. Your energy, creativity, and passion can drive positive change and ensure that Kwara State remains a beacon of peace and progress.
A Call to Action
So, let’s make a pact to:
- Promote peaceful elections

Together, we can build a Kwara State that is truly a “State of Harmony.” Let’s rise above politics of bitterness and embrace a brighter future for ourselves, our children, and generations to come.
Thank you.
