The Kwara State House of Assembly says it will on Tuesday swear in Jimoh Agboola, the member-elect for Ilorin South, 14 months after the Court of Appeal declared him duly elected.
This was conveyed in a February 5 letter to Mr Agboola from the Clerk of the House, Halimat Kperogi.
“This is to inform you that your swearing-in as a Member representing Ilorin South Constituency in the Kwara State House of Assembly has been scheduled for Tuesday, 9th February, 2021 in the hallowed chamber at 10:00 a.m.

It is with a heavy heart that I write to you this open letter. It is troubling that the core principle of democracy upon which your administration stands is being threatened because of the indifference of the assembly under your leadership to take a worthy position regarding the domestication of the freedom of information act in Kwara state.
The freedom of information act is one of the best things to ever happen to Nigeria’s democratic journey since the return to civil rule in 1999. Signed into law by former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2011, the act seeks to ensure seamless access to information, records and documents held by government bodies and private bodies carrying out public functions. It is with this faith that the 8th assembly led by Dr Ali Ahmad heartily welcomed the bill, passing it through spirited arguments before the end of its tenure.
