The All Progressive Congress has noted the belly-aching of the opposition parties following the results of an independent and credible polls conducted by Atedo N.A Peterside ( ANAP) Foundation and Ngozi Okonjo Iweala (NOI) Polls.
While we welcome the result of the polls as a confirmation of the hard work of our exemplary Governor, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq in the last three and half years, we note that the results is a way too short of the projections of our pollsters who have predicted a crushing defeat of the opposition parties who have been holding nuctunal meetings on a possible gang-up against the Governor.
We have no iota of doubt that 99 percent of those labelled as undecided voters are those who will vote for Governor AbdulRazaq in the 2023 Governorship Election
We sympathize with the opposition parties especially the Peoples Democratic Party who have been dazed with the outcome of the polls. This is a party whose leaders should bury their heads in shame because the only legacy they have in the state is that of pilferage ,outright stealing of public funds and impunity .
The PDP , lately ,has been working very hard to deceive the public that it has turned a new leaf following its removal from power in 2019 but we know that a leopard will never change its skin. PDP leaders are certified kleptomaniac of public funds.
We are also amused by the PDP’s perpetual headache about commissioning of projects by our administration when the projects are visible and acknowledged by the people themselves .
Unlike the PDP propaganda of commisioning and publicizing fake and non- existing projects on radio, we are excited and impressed by the compliments and feedback by stakeholders and people of Kwara and their common consensus of commendation to Governor AbdulRazaq on the projects in the 16 local governments and 193 wards in the state.
The PDP has also been spreading falsehood about the loan obtained by the administration. We challenge the PDP to explain how the state is indebted to the tune of N51 Billion.
It is ridiculous for the.PDP to demand that the whole of 27.5 Billion Naira bond obtained for building of infrastructure be paid in advance to contractors handling various projects in the State. The AbdulRazaq administration will not toe the PDP path of dishonour which was its trademark when loans and counterpart funds were shared by leaders of the rejected party.
We observed that the PDP falshoods against the administration are being published on blogs and their Watsapp groups, we challenge the rejected PDP to publish the false graft claims against the Government in credible newspapers and electronic media and see whether they would not face criminal defamation and excruciating damages
The difference between the AbdulRazaq administration and the inglorious PDP regime is like daylight and darkness.The people of Kwara can see the difference.
They know that the PDP will only bring pain and misery. Never again! PDP and its leaders belong to the past.
