2027: Kwarans fully behind Tinubu’s re-election – AbdulRazaq
The Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has affirmed Kwarans’ support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027 general elections.
The governor made this known while inspecting the ongoing construction of the 49-kilometre Eiyenkorin–Afon–Ojoku–Offa–Odo-Otin road on Saturday.
According to the Governor, “We are inspecting the ongoing federal and state road projects. This is Ilorin/Offa new road, and you can see how solid it is. We have to thank President Bola Tinubu for this road project. It is a major achievement as you can see,” he told reporters after inspecting the road project.
“The project will shorten travel time between Ilorin, Offa and adjoining communities. When the road is completed, the travel time to Offa from Ilorin will be 30 minutes. This is a good investment and another product of the Renewed Hope Agenda. It shows that the policies are working. There is more money for infrastructure, and people can see that even within the state. We do appreciate the President.”
The Governor was accompanied on the tour by the Special Adviser on Special Duties, Alhaji AbdulRazaq Jiddah, and Chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Prof Shehu Raheem Adaramaja.
He received short briefings from site engineer, Abdulsalam Onaolapo, who said they are working round the clock to deliver the project on schedule.
“Who will say ‘no to President Tinubu’ after seeing all these investments done at the state and elsewhere?,” the Governor asked, adding that the people of Kwara State are fully behind the President to have another term post 2027 for his developmental agenda to run full circle.
He said the reforms are working and the effects are steadily trickling down through infrastructure spending, social protection programmes, and continuous efforts to strengthen security.
The concrete road project, one of four major infrastructures funded under the federal tax credit scheme by the BUA conglomerate, has been lauded for its quality construction.
The governor added, “This is a major achievement as you can see,” he stated, adding that upon completion, the travel time between Ilorin and Offa will be reduced to just 30 minutes. The governor emphasized that the project is indicative of the policies under President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
He praised the BUA Group for their exceptional work on the road projects within the state and noted the continuous construction despite the challenges posed by the rainy season.
In addition to the road project, Governor AbdulRazaq also inspected the renovation of the Primary Healthcare Centre in Okesho, Asa local government area, further highlighting the government’s commitment to improving infrastructure and services within the state.
