Kwara State governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, on Thursday, described as laughable the comeback bid of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State.
AbdulRazaq spoke in Ilorin, the state capital, as he handed over the keys of seven campaign vehicles that the Senator representing Kwara South in the National Assembly, Arc. Lola Ashiru, purchased for the seven local government areas of the senatorial district.
The governor said the PDP’s comeback bid was laughable, given its abysmal record that included non-payment of workers’ salaries and collapse of basic amenities across the state.
“Kwarans have not forgotten what it was like when they were in government. There was no water. Neither salaries nor pensions were paid, not to talk of the gratuity. Nothing (basic) was working at all,” he added.
AbdulRazaq enumerated his administration’s feats across key sectors particularly health, education, and civil service, recalling how things had gone bad across these sectors under the PDP watch.
He added that no part of the state is now without the projects or beneficiaries of various programmes of his administration whether in road, potable water, healthcare, or social investment for the vulnerable.
AbdulRazaq said residents of every part of the state can attest to the projects and programmes, adding that the impacts are felt and are without any propaganda.
He commended Senator Ashiru and others for complementing his efforts to transform the state and serve the citizens better.
