For the umpteen time, the strong man of Kwara politics, Dr Bukola Saraki yesterday reaffirmed his resolve to totally deliver the state to All Progressives Congress (APC) during the 2015 general elections.
Saraki stated this in Ilorin, Kwara State yesterday shortly after the conduct of APC’s local government congresses.

The former governor of the state also expressed satisfaction over the smooth and peaceful conduct of the congresses across the state.

He participated in the exercise in Ilorin west local government area, where all the 25 executives of the party were elected through affirmation by the delegates.

The member of the House of Representatives, representing Ilorin West/Asa constituency, Hon. Mashood Mustapha also participated in the exercise.

The elated Saraki declared: "Those that still want to learn in history, be rest assured that Kwara is solidly an All Progressives Congress (APC) state. Here, we are one family, here we are committed in delivering in total the entire Kwara State to the APC family.

"Those we have today as Ilorin west local government executives, I charge you to all go out and start the work of winning the state to the APC. We have less than eleven months to the 2015 elections and we must start the work now.

"We do not want to give any vote, we want to win total. We want to send a message across Nigeria, we want to send a message to the pretenders that in Kwara state we are not seasonal politicians. What do I mean by seasonal politicians? People after election they go home and lock their doors and windows. They only care with their families they don’t open the doors to anybody. Then nine months to elections they will come and are looking for votes.

"We are here day in day out with our people and our people appreciate it. That is why they will come out to vote massively for APC.

"This is the number one local government in the state and we must show by our votes that we are the number. The only way we can do that is with our votes.

The executives, I charge you this is a serious programme, go out and perform. Any executive member that does not perform, these same people that affirmed you today will affirm you out".

He however advised other parties whose congresses were characterized by violence to borrow a leave from the APC. "They should approach politics via inclusivity.

It should not be a winner takes all. That is what we have demonstrated today. Everybody has a sense of belonging at the party level.
