…Hon. (Prince) Tunde Akanmidu
As Nigeria steadily approaches the 2027 general elections, the conversation across Kogi West and beyond is no longer about promises, but about performance, credibility, and continuity.
In this context, the call for a second term for Distinguished Senator Steve Sunday Karimi is not driven by sentiment, but by a clear-eyed assessment of service delivered, leadership demonstrated, and a future worth consolidating.
From his first day in the Senate, Senator Karimi has distinguished himself as a people-focused legislator, committed to translating representation into tangible benefits for his constituents.
His tenure has been marked by purposeful engagement with grassroots communities, effective legislative participation, and consistent advocacy for the interests of Kogi West within the national space.
– Proven Legislative Commitment!
Senator Karimi’s presence in the Senate has been defined by diligence and substance. He has contributed meaningfully to debates, supported people-oriented bills, and aligned himself with policies aimed at strengthening national unity, economic stability, and social development.
His legislative work reflects a deep understanding that lawmaking must ultimately improve the everyday lives of ordinary citizens.
– Grassroots Connection and Accessibility!
One of Senator Karimi’s strongest attributes is his unwavering connection to the people. Unlike armchair politicians, he has remained accessible, responsive, and attentive to the needs of his constituents. Through consultations, community visits, and direct interventions, he has demonstrated that representation is a continuous responsibility, not a seasonal exercise.

– Empowerment and Development Initiatives!
Across Kogi West, Senator Karimi’s interventions in empowerment, educational support, and community development stand as visible testimonies of purposeful leadership. These initiatives are not mere token gestures, but strategic efforts aimed at building capacity, restoring hope, and creating opportunities—especially for youths and vulnerable groups.
– Integrity, Courage, and Independence!
In an era where public trust in leadership is fragile, Senator Karimi has earned respect for his integrity and principled stance. He has shown courage in standing for what he believes serves the public good, regardless of political pressure. This independence of mind is critical in a democratic legislature and deserves to be preserved.
– The Case for Experience/Continuity matters!
Legislative effectiveness improves with time, institutional knowledge, and established networks. A second term will enable Senator Karimi to deepen ongoing initiatives, attract greater federal attention to Kogi West, and consolidate gains already made. Replacing tested leadership with uncertainty would be a step backward.
– Conclusion!
The decision before the people in 2027 is clear: reward performance, integrity, and genuine representation. Senator Steve Karimi has laid a solid foundation built on service, accessibility, and commitment to progress. Granting him a second term is not just a vote of confidence in his past performance—it is an investment in a stronger, more effective future for Kogi West and Nigeria at large.
Continuity. Capacity. Commitment.
Sen. Steve Karimi deserves a second term!
