Kwara State Governor and Chairman, Nigeria Governors’Forum(NGF), AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, on Tuesday, boasted that the opposition had collapsed both in Nigeria and Kwara State ahead of next year’s general election.
AbdulRazaq also stated that his administration’s over six years performance was better than 16 years of former governments in the state.
AbdulRazaq disclosed this in Ilorin, on Tuesday, during the state congress of the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC).
The event was attended by party leaders, women and youth leaders and party supporters across the state.
APC leaders from Abuja led by Dr Alkali Allabe supervised the conduct of the congress.
The congress later returned Sunday Fagbemi and 34 other members of the executive through affirmation at the event.
Speaking shortly after the congress, AbdulRazaq said, “As you can see, opposition has collapsed nationally and especially in Kwara State.
“However, we will not be complacent. Most Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members are with us, some that are not with us have gone to African Democratic Congress (ADC).
“As you can see from election nationally ADC has not shown any presence at all in the electoral process.
“Like I said, we will not be complacent. We need to work hard and continue to work harder to build on what we have achieved so far.
“This party being led by President Bola Tinubu is a party for all. You can see at the national level, governors and structures from other parties are collapsing into APC.
“This is the future. It is a party that has roadmap, a party that has vision for a better Nigeria.”
AbdulRazaq clarified that he did not have anointed governorship candidate in the forthcoming elections.
“It is not about somebody anointing anybody. God will anoint who will succeed us in the state. Yes, there are minor challenges ahead and those challenges are about healthy competition because the APC primaries will soon begin.
“When I talk of healthy completion, we have about six governorship aspirants from the National and state House of Assemblies. Most of them are in the hall here. In this season of Ramadan and Lent, we have to put God first.
“Those of us that are in positions authority, it is by the grace of ofAlmighty. And those that will get it, is by the grace of God.
“We pray that our successor do better than us. As a team, we have raised the bar in the state. Our successor will raise it higher. We encourage our successor to carry along those that will not succeed. It should be one family.”
