Kwara State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq yesterday described the current political model being spearheaded in the state by the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki as anti-development.
Speaking in Lagos during a grand reception organized for him by Kwarans in Lagos, he charged Kwarans in Diaspora to support the move to wrestle the state from a system which, he said, deliberately impoverishes the people.
“The current political model [controlled by Senator Bukola Saraki] has impoverished our people. It has no answer to the challenges faced by our people. Nothing is happening anywhere in terms of development,” AbdulRazaq said.
The conference was attended by thousands of Kwara indigenes in Lagos, including top business moguls, ace musicians, top academics, politicians and artisans.
In attendance were House of Representatives member Tunji Olawuyi; APC chieftain, Muhammad Dele Belgore (SAN); Barrister Kunle Suleiman; Senator Khairat Gwadabe; former information commissioner AbdulRaheem Adedoyin; former House of Assembly member Saheed Popoola; ace musicians Wasiu Sodiq; Ibrahim Labaeka; among others.
AbdulRazaq charged Kwara community in Lagos to mobilise support for APC back home in Kwara in the forthcoming polls.
