2027: Kwara Governor Wants Fair Playing Field For Aspirants

The Kwara State governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Wednesday asked the new executives of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state to work harder and create a fair playing field to all aspirants at the coming party primaries.

The governor gave the charge during the swearing-in ceremony of the state executives of the party in Ilorin, the state capital .

AbdulRazaq described the APC as a very big house that accommodates everybody, urging the party leaders to continue to work hard for the party.

“Once again, I say, congratulations to you all. You have done well and that’s why there was a consensus to support you to continue,” the governor said.

“Your work is cut out for you. In the next few months, you will face a lot of pressure from party members because the primaries are coming and people have various interest. Each person who wants to contest has his or her own plans for the state. That’s why they are contesting and don’t (as party leaders) see any of the aspirants as antagonists or enemies.

“They all have a lot to offer to the state. Try to give them a levelled playing field in whatever you do. All we are trying to do here is to make sure that we leave the state better than how we met it.

“I want you to rally round the chairman because your support will make him succeed. If the chairman fails, you all fail. Therefore, I wish you all the best,” he stated.

The state APC chairman, Prince Sunday Fagbemi said they will be fair to all.

“We have committed ourselves to do right to all manners of people, not to some people,” he said.

The chairman, Congress Committee, Dr. Alibe Alkali, congratulated the newly inaugurated executive members for being duly elected in line with the party’s constitution.

The swearing-in of the new executive members was led by Chief Titus Ashaolu (SAN).
