We are better prepared to deliver more if re-elected — Kwara APC campaign spokesperson
The campaign spokesperson of the All Progressive Congress in Kwara state, Mrs Oyeyemi Florence has reassured Kwarans that Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq is better prepared to deliver more if re-elected to office in 2023.
Oyeyemi, who is also the commissioner of finance, gave this assurance during a media parley with journalists on Wednesday in Ilorin, the Kwara state capital.
She said, “Unlike the opposition Party, who will still remain the opposition by next year, your feedback so far has been balanced and objective, free of guile and bile and for the collectively beneficial and progressive purpose of democracy. They have told lies and postured in such a manner as to hoodwink the public into believing that the entire Kwara is tired of our amiably quiet and effective governor. To that end, they have concocted, among other paraphernalia in their cauldron of manipulation and untruths, the odious slogan called “osuwon”. What they are tired of, however, is having their sticky, stubby fingers out of the state’s coffers and collective patrimony.
“What they are tired of is gaping on the side-line, drooling, as good governance is entrenched in the noble state of Kwara – a feat that they could not manage in all their years in government. They are weary because you, the media, men of good conscience and with no guilt, have heralded the cry of the people which is “MA A SE LO”. The people now get their salaries on time and they can see their revenue being committed to the task of developing the state through tangible investment in infrastructural projects that will build a sustainable and working system for all Kwara.
Naturally, the PDP is tired, but we cannot sympathise with them and everything unholy, tyrannical and retrogressive they represent.”
She added that the current administration understands the importance of feedback in a democracy and have decided to host the media parley to interact and get feedback on their activities, policies and achievements in office and to further seek support in the coverage of their re-election campaigns.
She said, “We seek your support because we know that the opposition works in the shadows, and they have contrived to bring darkness upon Kwara. Truly, the dark places of this world are the habitations of cruelty. We remember the iron hand they ruled the state with and the undemocratic way they stifled free speech and insulted those who dared speak the truth against them. We cannot forget the speed and haste with which they contemplated retrenchment instead of better welfare packages for the state’s workers.
“We also know you remember that they have adopted a policy of disturbing the peace and bawling when they do not get their way in governance. They have been reported to the police for inciting the public against the government by perpetually laying on a false allegation of fraud, the monumental kind of fraud which expertise is their specialty in reserve. Let the media kindly school them by informing them on the differences between criticising the government and inciting the public against the government, for they have simply been unteachable as far as we have tried.
“You have been vehement and unwavering in your support for the consolidation and entrenchment of accountability and democracy. You have also scrutinised, with your objective reporting, our administration and this is boundlessly invaluable to us. I must also commend for the efforts you have continually put into your duties when it concerns this administration. I urge you all to devote more commitment as we commence our campaigns, and you can bank on my support.”
