A prominent politician in Kwara state, former Senator Suleiman Makanjuola Ajadi, has returned to the ruling APC.
The former federal lawmaker, who made a dramatic return to the APC on Tuesday, has also disclosed that he would be working with ‘other progressives in the state’ to get Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrahman re-elected noting that he remains the best option for Kwara state .
In a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com on Tuesday, the former senator also said himself and his team have decided to return to the APC citing his objection to ‘politics of zero sum and perpetual bitterness’.
“My supporters and I have put the federal elections behind us. We cannot be accused of not exercising our democratic rights. However, it is time to move on as democrats, consequently, Iam hereby directing my supporters to work conscientiously for the re-election of Governor Abdulrazaq who, in all fairness and in the estimation of the overwhelming majority of our people, has done his best within the circumstances of our state to rebuild Kwara State to an enviable height.
He is therefore the best man on the ballot for the office of Governor, and I am directing my supporters and the people of our state to support him’ the statement stated.
“I also have the mandate of majority of our candidates, especially those from Kwara South, to announce the collapse of our structures and our return to the APC.
Whatever the misgivings anyone may have, I have come to the conclusion that any vote against the Governor at this time would amount to setting our state back several decades. I do not want to be on the wrong side of history, hence my decision to make this public declaration of support for the re-election of Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq’ he added.
Mr Ope Saraki, who was the Asa/Ilorin West NNPP reps candidate in the House of Representatives election held on February 25 2023, has also joined the ruling APC.
Ope is former Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki’s cousin and he had also served as former governor Abdulfatah Ahmed’s Senior Special Assistant on Millennium Development Goals, MDGs-Team@orientactualmags.com
