Kayode recalled that the party has done wonderfully well for the KAA while in power, thus bringing to memory the N100 million donation by the previous administration in the state.

He said: “Omoluabi is a performer that maximally utilised the opportunities of every office he had occupied and he is also well known for saying the hard truth needed for true progress in our society.”

He also used the occasion to express the arbitrary hardship associated with doing business in the country through the bad policies of the APC ruling government.

In his remark, Abdulahi, who is the PDP's senatorial candidate, lauded the commitment and support of the artisans towards his ambition to represent the Kwara Central Senatorial District come next election.

He said that if elected, he would bring quality representation to the senatorial that would advance the need of the artisans and other stakeholders in the senatorial district.

The former minister added: “It is audible to the deaf and visible to the blind that the APC led government, both at the state and federal levels, have unbelievably failed the country.

“Our country is desperately in need of big ideas for our collective salvation as it seems the people occupying and seeking for votes under the APC are obviously and incredibly clueless about leadership.”
