Gov Abdulrazaq Meets Ifelodun APC Elders, Highlights Importance of Unity and Peace

Date: 2025-01-04

Kwara State Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq has urged party members and elders to embrace unity, mutual understanding, and peace, emphasizing that these are key ingredients needed to maintain the party's winning streak.

The Governor spoke in Ilorin, the state capital, when he received members of the Ifelodun APC Elders' Council led by Senator Makanjuola Ajadi.

Governor Abdulrazaq acknowledged the support of the Elders' Council and other party platforms and stakeholders in the local government and across the state. He promised more infrastructural development and tasked the elders to continue fostering unity and peace within the party.

Senator Ajadi and other members of the council commended the Governor for his visible achievements, which they said are "visible to the blind." They also sought more support and appointments for the party members.

He pledged to continue to attend to their demands, particularly in the area of road construction, social amenities, and political appointments.

"I want us to strengthen and deepen the spirit of working together. A divided house will lead us nowhere," he said.

"Unity is always essential. If we are divided, people will take advantage of us. So, there is a need for unity, including in Ifelodun.

"Let us work together and look forward to a good year, a year of more prosperity, a year of stability and a year of proper engagement among ourselves."

The Governor expressed displeasure at the conduct of the contractors handling some of the road projects in the region, including Ora township road, saying steps are being taken to boldly address the issue.

The Governor said some of the projects in the area have been concluded, including the new Orisa bridge that connects Irepodun to Ifelodun local government.

Senator Ajadi, for his part, said they are strongly committed to the cause of the party, with the elders council membership cutting across the 18 political wards of the local government.

Ajadi praised the Governor for his excellent performance, saying his achievements are visible in all the nooks and crannies of the state.

"There is hardly anybody that will say they have not seen your work in their ward. It is not possible. In Babanloma, where I am the Asiwaju, we have seen your works like road construction, hospital rehabilitation, and school rehabilitation, among others,” he said.

"We urge Your Excellency to consider our other requests. I want to pick one road, for example; it is from Oro-Ago to Oke-Oyan. It is about 5km, but one may spend one hour on the road because of the bad condition of the road. This is one of the roads that make Ifelodun terrain very difficult.”

APC Chairman in Ifelodun Arch. Lukman Abubakar commended the administration's interventions on the Ajase-Ipo/Igbaja road, and requested the Governor to also consider the Igbaja-Oke-Ode/ Sagbe road; Panada-Agbayangi-Yaru road; and Marafa/Oke-Ode road.

Other members of the delegation who also spoke during the visit included Alhaji M.T. Lawal Alhaji Abdulrahoof Bello Labelabe, Alhaja Barakat Atunse, and Hon. Nike Ayilara.
