Kwara state All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has urged the people of the state to reject all Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidates at the poll.
“They don’t have anything else for you. Go out on Saturday to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari and all our National Assembly candidates. This is the only way out for us,” AbdulRazaq said at a rally in Pakata area in Ilorin.
“We must end their misrule this Saturday. Once you vote all our candidates this weekend, we can complete the work on March 2nd,” he added
Director General of his campaign organisation, Abdulfatai Yahaya Gambari told Kwarans especially APC supporters to shun violence and refuse to be provoked.
“We are for peace. All we have to do is to use our votes to end the tyranny against our people,” he said at the rally attended by thousands of supporters and locals in the area.
Lukman Olayiwola Mustapha, a former governorship aspirant, said the antidote to misrule and oppression in Kwara is to vote for all the APC candidates.
At another rally in Offa on Thursday, AbdulRazaq called for massive support for APC in return for quick socioeconomic development.
He said the APC government will restore public confidence in government and secure the state — a veiled reference to the security crisis that worsened with the recent armed robbery in Offa where over 30 persons were killed.
The rallies came a day after AbdulRazaq visited Asa local government area of the state where he pledged to fix the perennial water crisis. He also pledged to tap into the N100bn federal government’s fund meant to help address the challenges faced by the Fulani communities and end clashes with farmers.
