How I’ll avoid being ‘stoned’ by Kwara people – Gov. Abdulrazaq
The Kwara State
Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has assured people of the state that he would
deliver on his campaign promises to avoid being “stoned”.
He gave the
assurance during a meeting with top officials of the Kwara State Road
Maintenance Agency in Ilorin, the state capital, over the weekend.
AbdulRazaq said he
was aware of the high expectations of the people and has resolved to meet their
yearning, especially in road construction and provision of other social infrastructure.
He said: “The state
of our roads in Kwara is disappointing. This is particularly true of Kwara
North.
“There is no road,
for instance, to Gwanara especially now that it is raining and yet the
contractor handling it is collecting money. That was why the previous
administration was stoned (in Gwanara).
“We don’t want to
be stoned.
“Kwara people have
woken up and if I don’t fix the road, they will protest. So, we will sit with
the contractors. We are not sacking or removing them. We want to be proactive
so they can do their job.”
