Indigenes and residents of Kwara State have celebrated Hakeem Lawal as the emerging governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (PSDP) at the primaries.

Hajia Gogo Abidemi, who promised to roll out the biggest weapon in the history of Kwara State's campaign, described Hakeem as 'the most qualified candidate who embodies all Kwara masses can ever hope for in a leader.

He added: “This election requires every single one of us to help steer Kwara in the right direction and reclaim its promises. For far too long, the state stewardship has settled for less than what it could offer in terms of leadership substance, and this election must be different. Kwara's biggest deficit as an entity is simply the absence of visionary leadership and the capacity to unlock that vision, and that's fundamentally what Hakeem Lawal brings to the table. A new dawn of leadership is at hand in Kwara State.”
