Gov Abdulrazaq,  Saliu Mustapha , Others On Campaign Trail In Asa LG

Ahead of the 2023 general election, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq  and other Kwara state APC bigwigs were in Asa local government on Thursday to campaign for the party’s candidates with the locals acknowledging the modest strides of the current administration in the area and pledging huge support for all the APC candidates.

Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr Rafiu Ajakaye noted in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com  that those on the campaign trail along with the governor were the National and House of Assembly candidates in  Kwara Central  including Turaki Salihu Mustapha (Senate); Mukhtar Shagaya (House of Representatives , Ilorin West/Asa); Rukayyat Shittu; and Hajia Arinola Lawal; Commissioner for Agriculture ,Abdullateef Alakawa; and the SUBEB Chairman ,Prof. Shehu Raheem Adaramaja.

The  APC bigwigs visited Owode Oja, Balla and other communities to campaign for the party’s candidates   and they were  welcomed by a sea of supporters and dozens of leading party leaders from the Kwara Central. 

The governor said the election is an opportunity to deepen the gains of Otoge movement which will lead to more investment in rural roads, schools, health services, and support for small and medium scale enterprises. 

AbdulRazaq said the Owode-Oja Road has been captured for construction under the RAAMP which is due to begin this year — following payment of all necessary counterpart funds by the state government. 

‘APC is a responsible government. We will continue to support our people and make lives better for them. Asa local government has benefitted a lot from our government and we will do more. We’ll fix more roads, build more schools and hospitals. 

We will also send the officials of Kwara State Social Investment Programme (KWASSIP) to this community next week to empower women engaging in garri processing. I want to assure you that more development will come to this area. We will focus more on the development of rural areas, as we have been doing’ he said.

AbdulRazaq urged Asa LG people to vote for all APC candidates  assuring them of more development.

Alangua of Owode Oja, Alhaji Kayode Sidiq said the Governor is a jinx breaker on many fronts, citing the administration’s investments in basic education and healthcare programmes for the people, as well as his closeness to the people.

‘I am impressed with your humble nature. You are the first civilian governor to visit this community. Our women engage in Garri processing which attracts people from Ilorin and several other places to come here to buy in large quantities. Our road needs attention and we want the national assembly candidates to assist us in getting federal government attention after the elections’ Alangua said. 

APC Kwara Central senatorial district candidate and Turaki of Ilorin, Mallam Saliu Mustapha promised quality representation if elected as senator. 

‘We are here to appeal to you for support. We want you to give overwhelming support to the APC to ensure that all the candidates of the party emerge victorious. Our governor needs partners and collaborators that will bring more development from Abuja to the state. We will not disappoint you’ Mustapha said. 

Ilorin West/Asa APC reps candidate ,Mukhtar Sagaya also promised to attract more development to the federal constituency if elected as reps member. 

Owode/Onire state House of Assembly candidate, Rukayat Shittu sought the support of the people of the area in the March 12 governorship and House of Assembly elections. 

During the visit to his palace, Daodu Ballah, Abdulkareem Saliman Olarongbe commended AbdulRazaq for investing hugely in the Police School, Ballah and  the Ballah Secondary School, among several interventions in the community, and requested for the rehabilitation of Ballah primary health centre — a request which the governor promised to look into.

‘No government had ever invested in this community like the  Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq administration. We have benefitted a lot from this government. We are enjoying your government and we want you to do more in respect  of healthcare delivery’ he said- Team@orientactualmags.com
