Gov Abdulrazaq commends military operation in Kwara South senatorial district
Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq visited military troops involved in Operation Still Waters III exercise in Oro Ago town in Ifelodun Local Government Area on Wednesday, where he commended the 22 Brigade for improving the security of lives and properties in the axis.
“We paid a visit to this camp to thank the Nigerian Army. You know internal security is not exactly their work. But they are doing a yeoman’s job to make the country and Kwara safe. We appreciate what they are doing here. We will continue to support their activities,” the governor told reporters at the Step Up Headquarters of the 22 Armoured Brigade of the Still Waters III exercise.
Gov AbdulRazaq said further: “It is a camp outside Ilorin to make sure they have boots on the ground and make sure they secure the whole state by not sitting down in the state capital and waiting for intelligence. They are out here to deter any criminals from having a base here.”
Commander of 22 Armoured Brigade, Sobi, Brigadier General Abdulrahman Babalola, who conducted the governor round the base, said: “I want to thank His Excellency, the state governor, for his support and proactiveness in everything that concerns security in Kwara State. We have received tremendous support from him.”
He added: “Since we deployed to this location, the security situation has improved tremendously. Like His Excellency said, we cannot just sit down in Ilorin while other areas have no security presence. We have deployed to Yikpata, Patigi, Kaiama, Kosubosu (and a few others) to ensure that the State of Harmony remains harmonious.”
The Oloro, for his part, said the exercise has boosted peaceful living in the area.
“Since the military personnel have been here, we’ve been enjoying peace. We’ve been sleeping well. In fact, those people coming to the market who used to be afraid of the security situation are now telling themselves that Oro Ago is free and peaceful for business transactions.
“So we no longer have a problem. And the military operatives are really performing. They go up and down day and night,” the monarch said.
“We thank the Kwara State Government for assisting us in this area. We also thank the military officers for doing their job perfectly,” he added.
