“We also know his impacts at the National Population Commission and his wonderful contributions to our own party, APC. Our victory in the 2019 and general elections 2023 (especially in the Kwara North) might not have been possible without his major contributions.
“His legacies live on, and the youth should also emulate the kind of life he lived and see him as a shining example to follow.”

He commended AbdulRazaq for approving the construction of an ICT centre and other developmental projects in the community.
