As the 2027 general elections approach, the people of Keana Local Government Area are being called upon to set aside political affiliations and embrace unity in a historic bid to produce the next senator for Nasarawa South Senatorial District.
This renewed call for solidarity stems from a growing realization that only a united front can end Keana's long-standing political marginalization. Despite its status as a major stakeholder in the district, Keana remains the only local government in Nasarawa South that has never produced a senator since the return of democracy in 1999.
A Historic Injustice
Over the years, other local governments such as Doma, Lafia, Awe, and Obi have all had their turn at the Senate, while Keana has consistently played the role of supporter rather than a primary beneficiary.
This perceived exclusion has sparked a collective resolve among Keanians to prioritize regional interest over party loyalty.
Unity as a Strategy
The 2027 senatorial election presents a crucial opportunity for the people of Keana to correct this imbalance.
Political leaders, youth groups, traditional stakeholders, and community influencers are therefore advocating for a non-partisan alliance that transcends the usual political divides. The idea is simple but powerful: Keana first—party politics second.
A Moral and Political Appeal
This movement is not rooted in confrontation, but in a call for justice, fairness, and inclusion. The slogan “It’s Our Time” is more than a campaign mantra; it is a rallying cry for every Keanian to take ownership of the moment.
It is also an appeal to the rest of Nasarawa South to support Keana’s legitimate aspiration based on equity and the spirit of rotation.
The Road to 2027
To actualize this dream, stakeholders are urged to close ranks, present a credible consensus candidate, and mobilize grassroots support early.
If Keanians can maintain this unity, their collective ambition may not only be realized, but it could also reshape the political landscape of Nasarawa South for the better.
With the 2027 elections on the horizon, the time for political sentiment is over.
The time for unity, strategy, and bold action is now. Keana must speak with one voice, act with one purpose, and move with one goal, to finally occupy the seat it rightfully deserves in the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
