 He said, “Although I will be conceding my place in the gubernatorial race, the action plan I feel addressed the peculiar needs of some 2,764 communities, 193 wards and 16 local government areas in Kwara.”

Gobir said, “It is understood that upon winning, he (AbdulRazaq) will form a government that accommodates allies, including members of our own party.

“With our support for the governor and the President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we are convinced that Nigeria is undoubtedly about to commence a journey of renewed hope.”
