Opposition parties are dead in Nigeria, Kwara -Gov AbdulRazaq

NGF Chairman, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq

Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State, on Tuesday, affirmed that all seeming opposition parties have collapsed in Nigeria and Kwara State.

He explained that his seven years in government has performed more and better than 16 years of former governments in the state.

“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),” he mocked.

He disclosed these at the state All Progressives Congress (APC) congress where Prince Sunday Fagbemi and his 34 members were returned by affirmation.

APC leaders from Abuja led by Dr Alkali Allabe supervised the conduct of the peaceful congress.

“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,” he described APC.

AbdulRazaq clarified that he does not have anointed governorship candidate in the forthcoming elections, adding that “it is not about somebody anointing anybody. God will anoint who will succeed us in the state.”

He admitted that there might be a pocket of challenges in the party, “those challenges are about healthy completion 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 of authority is by the grace of Almighty. 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,” he stated.

Speaking, Prince Fagbemi urged leaders and elders to remain steadfast and united, wishing the party chieftains seeking elective positions the best.

“You are all qualified. However, these elective positions are limited and can only be occupied by one person at a time. I therefore, call for restraint, party unity and adherence to Democratice principles, party rules and respect and honour for our leaders especially the president and ur governor.

“I thank our leaders and party members for this vote of confidence to keep us in the saddle to lead our party to another overwhelming victory in 2027 by the grace of God,” he prayed.
