Kwara South will vote AbdulRahman, we won’t repeat 2003 mistake – Orisun Igbomina

The president of the Orisun Igbomina, Gbenga Awoyale has endorsed the re-election bid of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq in the 2023 general elections.

The APC member made this remark during an interview with the NIGERIAN TRIBUNE on the 35th coronation ceremony of Elesie of Esie, Alhaji Yakubu Agboola Ibrahim, in Esie town, Saturday.

Awoyale, said that “The people of Kwara South and Igbomina, in particular, won’t repeat the mistake of 2003”.

“Then we were cajoled that former Governor Mohammed Lawal was not good and we believed the deceitful politicians. But the decision we took them saw Kwara Central senatorial district having governorship seat for 12 unbroken years, before it returned to Kwara South.

“What voting another Kwara Central candidate, other than incumbent Governor Abdulrazaq means to every Kwara Southerner is that we will have to wait for another 20 years before it is our turn to occupy Kwara state governorship seat, which I believe is not acceptable to our people”, he said.

He further hailed the achievements of the governor, thereby calling on well meaning Kwarans to support his second term bid in order to allow him “consolidate his growth and development of Kwara state in general, and Kwara South in particular.”

Awoyale, however, charged the governor to steer clear praise singers, who are bent on sabotaging his efforts with little or no political impacts at their various political bases.

Chief Awoyale said that many people were not happy with the ways of the ‘so called stakeholders’.

“The governor has done well in terms of development projects, but he seems not to have people of substance as his face in various wards and local governments, which I believe he must give serious attention to ahead of the 2023 elections, because many of his supporters are not happy with the ways of some of those he recognize as stakeholders”, he concluded.
