Yakubu Danladi: Kwara North Traditional Rulers Pay Thank-You Visit To Gov Abdulrazaq In Ilorin

Following the emergence of Speaker Salihu Yakubu Danladi (SYD) as Kwara State APC gubernatorial candidate, traditional rulers across Kwara North Senatorial District at the weekend paid a-thank-you visit to Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq in Ilorin.

The traditional rulers who were led by the Etsu Patigi, Alhaji Ibrahim Umar Bologi ll, were full of appreciation to President Bola Tinubu, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and other stakeholders for ensuring the emergence of a Kwara Northerner as APC governorship candidate.

The 1st class traditional rulers represent various districts in Kwara North,

‘Your Excellency, the entire people of Kwara North are here this afternoon to thank you for what you have done for us. One of our sons, Rt Hon Salihu Yakubu Danladi, has become the flagbearer for APC in the 2027 governorship election and we are immensely grateful’ Etsu Patigi, Alhaji Ibrahim Umar Bologi II, submitted during the thank-you visit to Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq at Ahmadu Bello House, Ilorin.

‘We are here this afternoon to say thank you very much, may Allaah continue to guide and protect you’ a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by the Deputy Chief Press Secretary, Mr Mashood, AbdulRafiu Agboola also quoted the monarch as saying.

Alhaji Ibrahim Umar Bologi also appreciated the governor for everything he has done for the Kwara North people, especially developmental initiatives.

‘We also thank you for everything you have been doing for us as a region. You have heard our cries and this has been a very long agitation from our people and today by the grace of God, Allah has made it possible through you.

.

In general, we want to sincerely thank His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and entire APC members for making this possible’ he said.

Giving his speech, the governor described the visit as a big statement that conveyed their unity on ‘zoning’.

Governor AbdulRazaq noted that the emergence of a Kwara Northerner as APC guber candidate is to ensure equity and fairness in the rotation of governorship position in the state.

‘Moving political leadership around is important for fairness and equity. This is also good for development and sense of belonging. That is why at the federal level, the Presidency practically rotates between the North and South. It is about development, peace, harmony and equity. That is what we are looking at here’ he said.

The governor urged the traditional rulers and entire people of Kwara North to take full advantage of the opportunity by voting en masse for Hon Salihu Yakubu Danladi.

‘I believe the people of Kwara North will grab this opportunity by voting overwhelmingly to make sure that this becomes a reality. This is a big opportunity and one cannot say when next such opportunity will come again. You certainly do not want to prove some people right that Kwara North is not ready, and I don’t see this coming back in the long time (if you miss it) because people will say the people of Kwara North are divided and they have the votes. That is the perception they have created. So, let us make sure this perception does not stay’ he added.

The governor thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his support and interest in the process which led to the emergence of a Kwara Northerner.

‘It is under his leadership that has allowed most of these issues to be equitably resolved’ he said.

Governor AbdulRazaq listed his developmental projects in Kwara North to include road infrastructure, basic health care facilities, electrification projects, among others, while assuring the traditional rulers that with the emergence of Hon Salihu Yakubu Danladi, he will consolidate on the gains of his administration-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
