Sola Bamidele is urging Yagba stakeholders to resist outsiders’ attempts to undermine Senator Sunday Steve Karimi’s efforts and instead support his bid for the 2027 gubernatorial seat.
Karimi, who represents Kogi West Senatorial District, has made significant strides in addressing insecurity, education, and infrastructure development in the region.[¹](https://thereporters.com.ng/2025/06/08/senator-karimis-two-year-impact-a-harvest-of-progress-in-kogi-west/) [²](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_Karimi) [³](https://democracynewsline.com/senator-sunday-karimi-the-true-voice-for-the-people-of-kogi-west)
Some of his notable achievements include:
– *Security Initiatives*: Funding a Nigerian Army Forward Operating Base in Egbe to combat insecurity
– *Education*: Launching an annual bursary scheme, disbursing N100 million to 1,000 Kogi West indigenes, and constructing classroom blocks
– *Infrastructure*: Securing N2 billion for the Kabba-Mopa-Isanlu-Egbe-Ilorin Road and donating transformers to rural communities
– *Legislative Work*: Sponsoring bills and motions, including the CBN Act amendment and Electoral Act reforms
Karimi’s efforts have earned him recognition and praise from constituents, but he’s facing opposition from some elites who are trying to undermine his influence. Bamidele is cautioning Yagba stakeholders to be vigilant and ensure their hard-won representation is not compromised.[⁴](https://democracynewsline.com/senator-sunday-steve-karimi-the-leader-kogi-west-senatorial-district-has-been-waiting-for)
