Zuru communities residing across the 16 Local Government Areas of Kwara State have endorsed the Young Progressives Party, YPP, and Governorship candidate, Waziri Yakubu Gobir for the March Governorship elections.
Alhaji Abdullahi Abubakar (Serikin Zuru Kwara), made this known when he received the YPP Governorship at his palace on Tuesday in Ilorin.
Gobir said: “I am here today as one of this great community and to seek your blessing and support ahead of the general elections in the state. The support is not only for myself alone but for all the candidates of our great party, the YPP. We have surveyed the NEEDS of every community in the State and we have identified the challenges every community is facing I assure you that, upon resumption to office, we will begin to itemise each of the challenges and the cost needed to fix them.”
“Our government will be the government for all and our priority will be on Security, Agriculture, Education, Commerce, Infrastructure and Economic recovery.”
In his response, the Serikin Zuru praised Gobir for his philanthropic and developmental contributions towards the Zuru community and to the entire people of Kwara state.
“Truly God gives power but one must also position his/herself for the power by living a life that is worth emulating and doing good to the people one might come across in life. And I must say without reservation that Waziri Gobir has displayed his capacity and competency to lead and by God’s Grace, the entire Zuru Community across the 16 local government areas of the state will cast their votes en mass for all the YPP candidates in the coming election.” He said.
The chairman of the Zuru community Emmanuel Joseph said the Zuru community in the state would not forget the invaluable gestures extended to them by Waziri Yakubu Gobir. He also emphasised that their people need a man honest, truthful and committed to the development of the state as governor, which is why the support for the YPP Governorship Candidate is unprecedented.
