NSIP Focal Person Mobilises Women For Kwara Governor

Ahead of Saturday gubernatorial election, the focal person of the National Social Investment Programmes (N-SIP) in Kwara State, Dr Rabiat Shehu-Jimoh has called on women, especially the beneficiaries of the programme to troop out en masse to vote for the state governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for a second term of office.

She also asked the NSIP beneficiaries to mobilise their relatives to vote for the governor and all the House of Assembly candidates contesting under the banner of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state in appreciation of the governor’s kind gesture.

Shehu-Jimoh, who made the call during an interview with newsmen in her office in Ilorin, the state capital said she had recently led the beneficiaries of NSIP on a solidarity rally for Governor AbdulRazaq in appreciation of his love and passion for the wellbeing of women in the state.

“My advice to women is to come out with their relatives to vote and re-elect Governor AbdulRazaq who has done so much for us in the last four years. In the history of Kwara State women have not had it so good as being witnessed under AbdulRazaq’s administration.

“Women need to vote for our governor during the 11th March, 2023 elections so that the NSIP programmes will continue in the state and more women and youths will benefit from it.

“In appreciation of the governor’s love for the masses and especially the  women, I recently led the NSIP beneficiaries on  a ‘thank you rally’ for  Mr. President, Muhammadu  Buhari and Governor AbdulRazaq. During the highly successful rally from the town to the Surulere family residence of the AbdulRazaqs in Ilorin, the state capital, I sensitised all the cooks and other beneficiaries of NSIP on the need to re-elect Governor AbdulRazaq for second term on the 11th of March, 2023 to reciprocate his kind gestures to us the women and our daughters who are holding various positions of authority in AbdulRazaq’s administration’,” she said.

The NSIP focal person added: “Governor AbdulRazaq has done very well in the appointment of more women into key government offices. The governor’s cabinet has over 50 per cent women representation. The governor’s passion for the development of the women folk has been locally and internationally recognised. You will recall that the governor bagged the UN’s  ‘He for She’ award and he was also honoured by the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs for surpassing the 35 per cent political appointment allocation for women. I give kudos to our governor  for this great accomplishment.”
