Tsaragi APC, emirate back AbdulRazaq over Kolo's nomination; Gov says nominee will succeed
Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq acted within the recommendations of people of Tsaragi emirate whose turn it is to produce commissioner from Edu local government area, according to Tsaragi chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“We are grateful to your Excellency for approving our nomination (of Miss Joanna Nnazua Kolo) from Tsaragi emirate and we assure you of our continued support,” Paul Solomon Jiya, chairman of the APC Zoning Committee in Tsaragi Emirate, said during a visit to AbdulRazaq Thursday evening.
Jiya said Kolo’s Tsaragi Ward I was where the office of commissioner has been zoned to in accordance with the local political arrangement.
“We are grateful to you for not ignoring our recommendation. The nominee is the choice of our people and we are here on behalf of the Tsaragi emirate to thank you,” he said.
The delegation, comprising dozens of APC chieftains from the three wards in Tsaragi, was led on the visit by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Mamman Sabah Jubril who is from Shonga Emirate of Edu Local Government.
Jibril also commended the Governor for his foresight, love for the youth and community development.
AbdulRazaq, for his part, commended the delegation for the visit, which he said is an “encouragement to take bolder steps” in the service of the people.
“We are on the threshold of change. We must do things differently. We need to do it differently for a change,” he added.
“With people like you behind her, she’s not a nobody. There will be a lot of pressure on her to succeed and we’ll continue to stand by her to ensure she succeeds.”
The governor said Edu may well become the richest local government in northern Nigeria when his plans to revive Bacita Sugar Company work out alongside the completion of BUA factory late next year.
He also said he was working with the Federal Government to ensure the dredging of the River Niger and stop the menace of flooding in the state.
“Once that is done, the seasonal flood will stop. That is on our agenda. Luckily, we have a minister in the transport ministry to push this agenda so that we can stop the seasonal loss of lives and properties,” he said.
AbdulRazaq said he might also send a bill to the State House of Assembly to outlaw the practice of water travel without the use of life jackets.
