Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State on Wednesday inaugurated the over 2000-member Kwara State All Progressives Congress Campaign Council, submitting that his administration’s achievements will ease their task across the 193 political wards in the state.
‘As a government, we have made your job easy because of what we have done in every part of the state. We met dilapidated structures across the state in primary health and education, poor infrastructure, and lack of water supply. We have gone very far to overcome that. We have done exceedingly well across sectors’ AbdulRazaq said after himself and other party leaders, including Deputy Governor Kayode Alabi had jointly inaugurated the campaign council.
‘We have stabilized things, and the next few years will serve to consolidate on our achievements and position our state for greatness and further empower our people positively, especially young people and women.
The previous governments couldn’t even pay salaries, pensions, and gratuities in spite of huge funds that they received. Within the last two months, we have paid about N6bn to clear salary arrears, pensions, and gratuities for 2009, 2010, and now 2011.
We will continue to upscale on what we have done in health, education, agriculture , road infrastructure, and social safety net’ he added.
AbdulRazaq congratulated all members of the council for their nomination by the party and urged them to consolidate on the success recorded in 2019.
‘You are urged to deliver our party just as you did in 2019. The immediate challenge is to deliver Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the next president of Nigeria. Then, you must deliver all our senate and House of Representatives candidates on the 25th of February, 2023. You should also deliver all our candidates in the March 12 governorship and House of Assembly elections’ AbdulRazaq said.
The governor also encouraged the young APC members to learn from the experiences and guidance of elders to guarantee the success of the party.
APC State chairman , Prince Sunday Fagbemi, urged members of the council to work assiduously for the victory of the party at all levels in a peaceful and orderly manner.
‘We do not want violence in this election. Go about your campaign peacefully. We do not believe in violence because our party is not known for that. We commend the police for their prompt action, which led to the arrest of a member of the opposition who nearly disrupted our campaign recently in Ilorin’ he said.
