9th Kwara State House of Assembly

The 9th Kwara State House of Assembly was the unicameral legislative branch of the Kwara State Government in Nigeria from 10 June 2019 to 10 June 2023. It represented the state's 24 state constituencies, with one elected member from each constituency. The election that produced the assembly was held on 28 April 2019. As Kwara State's law-making institution, the assembly considered and passed bills, exercised oversight over aspects of the state executive, and participated in constitutional and statutory confirmation processes. Bills approved by the house required the constitutionally prescribed majority before being presented to the governor for assent. The assembly also had an institutional role in the consideration or approval of appointments involving state commissioners, judicial officers and other senior public officials, subject to the relevant Nigerian legal framework. The assembly's membership included representatives from constituencies across Kwara State. Rt. Hon. Engr. Yakubu D. Salihu and Hon. Adetiba-Olanrewaju Raphael Olalekan were identified with the assembly's leadership, as speaker and deputy speaker respectively in the reference material. Other listed members included Magaji Abubakar Olawoyin, Bello John Olarewaju Olarewaju, Yusuf Atoyebi Musa, Jimoh Ali Yusuf, Owolabi Olatunde Rasaq, Abdulkareem Babatunde Paku, Aliyu Wahab Opakunle, Abdulgafar Olayemi Ayinla, Awodiji Omotayo Felix, Ojo Olayiwola Oyebode, Yusuf Abdulwaheed Gbenga, Ahmed Saidu Baba, Awolola Olumide Ayokunle, Abdullahi Halidu Danbaba, Mohammed Baba Salihu, Ganiyu Folabi Salahu, Ndamusa M. Guyegi, Ambali Olatunji Ibrahim, Popoola Saheed Adekeye Lekan, Abolarin Ganiyu Gabriel, Ahmed Rufai Adam and Jimoh Raheem Agboola. The 9th assembly ceased to be the current legislative assembly when its four-year term ended on 10 June 2023. It is therefore best understood as a historical legislative institution rather than a continuing commercial brand or operating organization. The 10th Kwara State House of Assembly succeeded it.

The 9th Kwara State House of Assembly was constituted following the state legislative election held on 28 April 2019. It began its four-year legislative term on 10 June 2019 and served as the unicameral legislature of Kwara State until 10 June 2023. The house comprised 24 representatives, each elected from a separate state constituency. Its constitutional role was to legislate for matters within the competence of the state, scrutinize public administration and finances through legislative oversight, and consider appointments requiring the participation of the house. A bill adopted by the required majority could be transmitted to the governor for assent; once assented to, it became state law in accordance with the applicable constitutional process. The assembly also participated in the consideration of appointments such as state commissioners and senior judicial officials where approval or confirmation was required. The assembly was led by Rt. Hon. Engr. Yakubu D. Salihu, with Hon. Adetiba-Olanrewaju Raphael Olalekan identified as deputy speaker in the supplied reference. Its membership represented constituencies throughout Kwara State, including areas in and around Ilorin and the state's other local government districts. The 9th assembly's institutional life ended when its term concluded on 10 June 2023, after which the 10th Kwara State House of Assembly assumed legislative continuity.
