Egbe Chieftaincy Tussle: I Have No Interest; Those Dragging My Name Are Just Seeking Cheap Popularity – Sen. Karimi

Senator Sunday Karimi, representing the Kogi West Senatorial District and serving as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Senate Services, criticized individuals who are dragging his name into the ongoing chieftaincy dispute in the Egbe community, located in Yagba West Local Government Area. He stated that these individuals are only attempting to achieve cheap popularity and emphasized that he has no personal interest in who occupies the chieftaincy position in Egbe, nor does he plan to interfere in such matters.

His comments came in response to a press conference held yesterday in Lokoja by His Royal Highness Oba Adeniyi Bolaji and others, which some social media outlets reported. They accused him of meddling in the selection of a new leader for the Ighare Ijalu community.

Senator Karimi expressed that his primary responsibility is to provide quality representation for all the people of Kogi West Senatorial District while fulfilling his legislative duties at the National Assembly. He stressed that interfering in community matters that already have established rules and regulations regarding succession would be a disservice to his constituents.

“I am focused on ensuring that critical projects such as the repair of the Kabba – Egbe – Ilorin, Kabba – Omuo, and Aiyegunle – Iluke – Kiri – Eggan roads are completed. I’m also working on the ongoing remodeling of GSS Koton Karfe and the installation of solar-powered streetlights across the seven local governments in Kogi West. With all these commitments, I simply don’t have the time to get involved in community chieftaincy issues.”

Senator Karimi further highlighted that he represents eighty-five wards and numerous communities at the national level. He questioned how it would make sense for him to abandon his larger responsibilities for a matter that should be resolved by the community elders. He also mentioned his initiative to establish a Military Forward Operating Base in Egbe to combat insecurity in the area, reinforcing his commitment to peace and development for both the community and the region as a whole.

The senator concluded by urging the public to recognize that he does not engage in any form of violence, thuggery, or other social vices, and he has certainly not sent any thugs to attack anyone over the chieftaincy dispute. He reiterated that the people should focus on resolving their issues without involving his name.
