PDP Hails his contributions to Kwara and National Democracy

The PDP in Kwara State also felicitated with the former National Chairman of the party and the Tafida Ngeri of Ilorin Emirate, Alhaji Baraje, on the occasion of his birthday anniversary.

In a statement signed by the State Publicity Secretary, Olusegun Adewara, the party extolled Alhaji Baraje as a true elder statesman, a distinguished public servant, and a committed democrat who has contributed immensely to the growth of democracy in Kwara and Nigeria at large.

“Alhaji Kawu Baraje's sterling career in public service, where he rose through the ranks to the pinnacle of his profession, is a testament to his dedication, competence, and unwavering commitment to nation-building”.

The statement stated further that his humanitarian services, particularly in education and human resource development, have left an indelible mark in the minds of an average Ilorin people.

“As the saying goes, investment in human resources is the greatest asset. Alhaji Baraje has demonstrated this through his establishment of the Baraje Centre for Arabic and Islamic Studies in Ilorin, a citadel of learning that has produced vibrant Islamic clerics and positively reshaped the lives of numerous Ilorin youngsters. His commitment to empowering the next generation through knowledge and mentorship is truly commendable” the statement also emphasised.

It added that the party will continue to appreciate and cherish such a noble and distinguished personality stressing that Tafida has remained a pillar of strength, a mentor to many young politicians across the country, and a steadfast party man whose contributions to the PDP remain invaluable.

“On this auspicious occasion, we celebrate an outstanding nationalist and a builder of youths. We pray that Almighty Allah grants him long life, peace of mind, and abundant financial success to continue his impactful contributions to Kwara State and Nigeria” according to the statement.

Members of his family, friends and political associates converged at his GRA residence in Ilorin the Kwara State Capital to offer prayers for him.
