The Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has boasted that his reelection for a second term of four years will be a walk in the park.
The governor, who stated this while inaugurating the over 2000-member Kwara State All Progressives Congress Campaign Council, said the achievements of his administration will ease their tasks across the 193 political wards in the state.
“As a government, we have made your job easy because of what we have done in every part of the state. We met dilapidated structures across the state in primary health and education, poor infrastructure, and lack of water supply. We have gone very far to overcome that. We have done exceedingly well across sectors.
“We have stabilised things, and the next few years will serve to consolidate our achievements and position our state for greatness and further empower our people positively, especially young people and women. “The previous governments couldn’t even pay salaries, pensions, and gratuities in spite of the huge funds that they received. Within the last two months, we have paid about N6bn to clear salary arrears, pensions, and gratuities for 2009, 2010, and now 2011.
