I’ll not discriminate against anyone – APC candidate

The Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Party (APC) in Kwara, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has promised that his administration would not discriminate against anybody if elected as governor on March 9.

AbdulRazaq made the promise on Wednesday at Ajase-Ipo in Irepodun local government during the continuation of his governorship campaign tour of Kwara South.

“Our government won’t discriminate against any section of Kwara. We’ll share jobs and appointments fairly,” he told the Olupo of Ajase-Ipo.

He appealed to the people of the state to give him a chance to serve them.

AbdulRazaq said his administration would open up the rural areas for development to boost investments in agriculture, agro-processing factories, provide employment for the youths and halt rural-urban migration.

He also pledged to rebuild public schools and hospitals, strengthen entrepreneurship and small -scale businesses in a bid to boost internally- generated revenues.

AbdulRazaq pledged to accord utmost respect to the traditional institutions and ensure that local government areas are allowed to serve the grassroots.

“But to do this, we urge you to vote for APC. We don’t want to be in the opposition in Kwara.

“We have a lot of great programmes for our people. Importantly, we won’t disrespect our traditional institutions. We will honour our royal fathers.

“We’ve had enough of bad governance and the bleeding of public resources.

“Let’s try something new and different. Our opponents have run out of ideas. We will bring development.

“We will take special interest in the security of lives and properties. At the moment, there is hardly any functional bank from Ekiti to Offa.

“Where there’s no banking institution, development will be hard whether you are into sawmilling or agriculture,” AbdulRazaq said. (NAN)
