Our attention has been drawn to a misleading and sensational report attempting to create the false impression that Senator Sunday Karimi “fled” the decamping ceremony of former Kogi State Governor, Capt. Idris Wada, and that he is losing touch with the people of Kogi West. This narrative is not only inaccurate but deliberately crafted to misinform the public.
- Senator Karimi Did Not “Flee” the Event
For the record, Senator Sunday Karimi attended the decamping ceremony in Lokoja based on official invitation and departed after completing his scheduled engagements. His exit was neither abrupt nor influenced by any tension, as falsely insinuated. The dramatization of normal movement at a public event is a clear attempt to feed a manufactured narrative.
- The Alleged “Tirade” Does Not Reflect the Position of Kogi West
The report relies on anonymous statements and unverified claims that do not represent the true voice of the people. Kogi West is a politically mature district that engages constructively, not through faceless commentary planted to create artificial discontent.
Senator Karimi continues to maintain strong grassroots presence with open-door access, active constituency offices, and ongoing development projects across the seven local government areas.
- Independence of Thought Is Not Disloyalty
Senator Karimi’s political decisions are guided by principle, not pressure. His independence of thought — which some are attempting to twist into disloyalty — is a demonstration of leadership and a commitment to the genuine interests of Kogi West. He will not be coerced into aligning with any agenda that does not prioritize his constituents.
- Election-Season Propaganda Will Not Distract From Service
As political activities intensify ahead of future elections, it is unsurprising that certain actors are resorting to smear tactics. The attempt to weaponize a harmless event to attack Senator Karimi underscores the desperation of those unsettled by his consistent performance and rising influence.
- Senator Karimi’s Track Record Speaks for Itself
From infrastructural projects to empowerment initiatives, legislative interventions, rural electrification, water projects, and youth programs, Senator Karimi’s efforts are visible and ongoing. A senator delivering this level of impact cannot be described as disconnected. The facts speak louder than any sponsored insinuation.
- Commitment to Kogi West Remains Unshakable
We assure the public that Senator Sunday Karimi remains unwavering in his dedication to the people he proudly represents. No amount of misinformation or political propaganda will distract him from delivering quality representation and development-driven leadership.
Conclusion
We urge the media and the general public to disregard the misleading report and remain focused on the truth: Senator Sunday Karimi stands firmly with the people of Kogi West, and continues to serve with integrity, vision, and accountability.
Signed:
Comrade Usman Yahaya
Chairman, Karimi Stands for Justice.
