Kwara State Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed
has challenged his opponent in the forthcoming gubernatorial
elections, Senator Simeon Ajibola of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP)
to reveal what he has done for Kwara State in his three terms as Senator
representing Kwara South.
Speaking during a campaign stop at Isanlu Isin in
Isin Local Government Area, Governor Ahmed said his opponent could not point to
any tangible project or program he has attracted to the state since he became a
Senator twelve years ago. He stressed that people are interested in what
candidates have done and their capacity to do more rather than what they intend
to do.
"Let him tell us what he has done for Kwara
instead of playing on sentiments that can only divide. People want someone with
the experience and capacity for good governance. Senator Bukola Saraki has
attracted an environmental project to the state. Other members of the national
assembly have attracted projects to the state. Ask Senator Ajibola what
projects he has attracted to Kwara State.”
Governor Ahmed also challenged Senator Ajibola to
identify how many bills he has sponsored or debates he has contributed to in
the senate.
Alhaji Ahmed said the government has made
significant development in all sectors of the state including youth jobs, SME
micro credit for small business owners and farmers, rehabilitation of general
hospitals and supply of transformers to hundreds of communities across the state.
He promised to create 5000 new jobs, establish an Independent Power Project,
overhaul 120 schools and embark on new road projects if re-elected for a second
term.
He urged the people to collect their Permanent
Voters Cards and ensure that they turn out en-masse to vote for the APC at
levels, adding that only the party has the capacity to bring about the desired
change at all levels in the country
