AFTER 14 months of legal battle, Kwara State House of Assembly on Tuesday bowed to pressure by swearing in Raheem Agboola as the only Peoples Democratic Party member in the 24-member Assembly.
The All Progressives Congress won all the 24 seats in the Assembly, but one of the seats; Ilorin South Constituency of the state Assembly, was upturned by the Election Petition Tribunal and upheld by the Court of Appeal.
Recall that Agboola was declared as the winner of the Ilorin South Constituency Election in the March 10, 2019 state Assembly election by the Court of Appeal in Ilorin in November 2019, but the Speaker, Yakubu Danladi-Salihu, claimed that there were other litigations on the election.

The Speaker of Kwara State House of Assembly, Engr Yakubu Salihu, on Tuesday, swore in the only Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, lawmaker, John Agboola(Ilorin South Constituency) as a member.
The inauguration of Agboola was in compliance with a 14-month-old Appeal Court judgement in his favour.
The Speaker of the House, in his remarks, congratulated the new member and expressed optimism that the new lawmaker would adjust to the legislative business of the House in view of his experience.
“You are already familiar with the task ahead; we say congratulations and welcome on board,” the Speaker said.

The Kwara State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has berated the State House of Assembly for approving a N35 billion loan request by Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq.
The opposition party warned that the move would hamper the state’s capacity to meet future obligations.
This was contained in a statement signed by the state PDP Publicity Secretary, Tunde Ashaolu, in Ilorin, on Wednesday.
It said by approving the “ridiculous and humongous” loan request, the Speaker, Danladi Yakubu and his colleagues have shown that they do not care about the future of the state.
The party said the decision by the lawmakers to approve the loan request was ill-thought-out, depressing and disappointing, noting that the lawmakers were in the habit of approving whatever request the governor makes without giving a thought for the consequences.
