All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has urged the residents 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, Ilorin, the state capital.
He added: “We must end their misrule this Saturday. Once you vote all our candidates this weekend, we can complete the work on March 2.”
The Director General of AbdulRazaq’s campaign organisation, Abdulfatai Yahaya Gambari, told the people, 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 State is to vote for all APC candidates.
At another rally also yesterday in Offa, AbdulRazaq called for massive support for APC in return for quick socio-economic development of the state.
He said the APC administration would restore public confidence in government and secure the state, a veiled reference to the security crisis that worsened with last year’s armed robbery in Offa where over 30 persons were killed.
The rallies came a day after AbdulRazaq visited Asa Local Government Area where he promised to fix the perennial water crisis.
He also promised to tap into the N100 billion Federal Government’s fund to address the constant clashes between indigenous farmers and herders’ communities.
