Community meets APC's AbdulRazaq, laments govt neglect
The people of Agbabiaka community in Magaji Ngeri area of Ilorin at the weekend welcomed the APC gubernatorial candidate with topnotch hospitality. It's to be noted that this is the first time ever a gubernatorial candidate would be visiting the community -- thanks to Gen. B. I. Agbabiaka who facilitated the visitation.
The youth of the community were represented by Comrade Muhammed Abdulkabir (Sir Yellow), the Coordinator of Kwara Central Restoration Forum in Magaji Ngeri ward and the General Secretary of New Kwara Forum, who also contributed to the discourse. He listed the problems facing the community to include unemployment, lack of potable water and power supply.
Abdulkabir urged the APC candidate to run an all-inclusive government, away from what he called the inglorious mode of operations of present and past administrations. He lamented that the community lacks good representation and has been neglected and forgotten for far too long.
Alhaji Khalifa Abubakar (Ori Oke), who spoke on behalf of the elders, expressed their grievances on the bad leadership and poor governance in the state, and urged AbdulRazaq to do the needful when he assumes office in May 2019.
Similarly, Mr Lukman Olayiwola Mustapha, a former gubernatorial aspirant of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara state, urged the people of the community to come out in their numbers to vote all APC candidates in Saturday's election as that is the only way to change the story of Kwara state and reposition it for sustainable development.
Amb Yahaya Seriki, the DG of the AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq Campaign Organization (Kwara Central), reiterated that the party is committed to raise the standard of the people. He emphasized that having a governor like AbdulRahman who won't siphon government funds is the only way to revive Kwara from economic coma.
AbdulRazaq, who also attended the meeting and lamented the neglect of the area, assured the residents of the community that his administration won't forget them once voted into office.
The event was attended by important dignitaries in the community, including the Magaji of Agbabiaka, Brig. Gen. B. I. Agbabiaka; the chief Imam of the area, Alhaji Abdullahi Ibrahim; and deputy Imam, Mallam Kawu Ahmed, among several others.
The program was anchored by Mr. Sulaiman Tosho (Sai Kayi), a former PDP chairman in Ilorin West local government of the state, who said voting APC is the only way to prove “we are concerned about our dearest Kwara state”.
