Former commissioner for Special Duties and member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Local Government Elections Committee in Kwara State, Mallam Razaq Lawal has said that the September 21, 2024, local government poll in the state will be a walk over for all the APC’s candidates.
He said the achievements of the state governor, AbdulRahaman AbdulRazaq in the last five years will give all the APC’s chairmanship candidates in all the 16 local government areas and the councilorship candidates in all the 193 wards of the state a smooth sail in the election.
Lawal, a grassroots politician and chairman of Alliance For Sustainable Kwara(ASK) spoke in Afon, Asa local government area of the state on Sunday, on the sidelines of an empowerment programme for widows and youths organised by Hon. Suleiman Lekan Gadaff.
“Governor AbdulRahaman AbdulRazaq has made it easy for us to win this coming local government elections because of his numerous laudable achievements in the areas of infrastructures, human capital development, education, health, assistance to entrepreneurs, civil servants welfare, respect for the traditional institution, women and youths empowerment programmes, amongst others.
“Definitely, whoever that loves development and loves Kwarans must appreciate Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for his giant strides in the last five years,” Lawal said.
He, however, urged APC members across the state to complement the governor’s efforts at making life more comfortable for the people of the state, commending Hon. Suleiman Gadaff for organising the empowerment programme.
He further urged the residents to be wary of ” some so-called leaders who are supposed to support the governor but are busy behind the door plotting mischief, blackmail and trying to turn the story upside down because of their selfish aspirations. Party members and lovers of Kwara should challenge them, and they should let the whole world know the truth, and those who are liars.
“The world should know who is out to liberate us and those who have been sabotaging us. It should be spelt out in a plain language who is Dahir and who is fake.
” Kwarans should remember that some people have been in the helms of affairs of our state for so many years, if they had done something similar or close to what Governor AbdulRahaman AbdulRazaq has done in the last five years, by now Kwara would have been the first leading state in the country.
“Please, let us calculate the numbers of five years in the years they have held Kwara and Kwarans in the jugular. That is when we would appreciate the masses’ governor, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq”.
