Sen. Sunday Karimi is indeed a hardworking and dedicated Senator, representing Kogi West Senatorial District with selflessness and commitment.
Sen. Karimi in the opinion of Kogi West Constituents deserves a second term for several reasons.
That over the years the Okuns and Kogi West have been used as cannon folder is no longer news in the configuration called Kogi State.
A people rich in intellect and character, but have been made to be hewers of wood and fetchers of water is what 2027 seeks to correct.
