My appreciation on the outcome of the Presidential/National Assembly Elections in Kwara State
On behalf of our party (APC) and our candidates, I express my profound gratitude to all of you, the good people of Kwara State, for your turnouts, peaceful conduct, and reassuring support for the APC at the presidential and parliamentary elections. Specifically, I thank the traditional institutions led by His Royal Highness the Emir of Ilorin Dr. Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, religious institutions, labour unions, civil servants, teachers, artisans, marketers, organised private sector, and our young people for the firm support we got during the polls. We similarly appreciate the media and the security agencies for their professionalism.
The outcome of this important election asserts one thing: the people of Kwara are clear about the future we all desire for the state, regardless of the groundless lies of the opposition parties and their leaders.
With all of the Senate and House of Representatives seats in the bag, the results were unambiguous about the fact that our collective victory in 2019 over unproductive godfatherism, poor governance, and the sense of entitlement was neither an accident of history nor a fluke induced by any propaganda. I thank you indeed. We certainly do not take your overwhelming support for granted. Just so you know, more than anywhere else in this country, Nigerians are really proud of our determination to finally bury political servitude in Kwara State.
I assure you that our team will do a lot more with the new mandate in our collective drive for a state that works for all. We will continue to prioritise the people in the design and execution of government’s policies and programmes, while working with the present and the incoming Federal administration to strengthen access to basic amenities as well as infrastructural and human capital development.
I trust that you will seal our match to complete freedom from politics of domination, arrogance, and godfatherism by voting for me, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, as your Governor and all the House of Assembly candidates of our party, APC, on March 11, 2023. This will enable us to consolidate on the gains of the past four years and ward off those who desperately seek to reverse the many gains of Otoge.
Finally, I join the good people of our state to congratulate my party’s compatriots who have deservingly been elected to the 10th National Assembly. I am confident that together we will justify the confidence that our people have again reposed in us.
