Kwara State Governor, Dr Abdulfatah Ahmed has further
explained that his defection from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC),
is a script hatched and perfected by fifth columnists within the party......
The
Governor dropped this hint in Ilorin when he received the National Executive of
Oro Descendents Union (ODU), led by its President, Alhaji Uthman Tunji Balogun
who paid him a courtesy call at the Government House.
Governor Ahmed told his
visitors that he reluctantly dumped the APC when it became obvious that the
people of the state “who delivered a 100% electoral victory to the APC are
continuously being marginalised and persecuted”.
According to the governor, all
entreaties to ensure that the people of Kwara state were treated with dignity,
equity and justice fell on deaf ears as a result of those rooting for their
personal relevance by marginalizing other stakeholders.
“If it were for
personal gains”, the governor said, “I wouldn’t have left the APC has a sitting
governor. The Senate President would also have been contented with the coveted
position of the Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”. Governor
Ahmed said the struggle is about the interests of Kwarans to participate
effectively and meaningfully to the growth and development of Nigeria.
According to him, “Leaving the APC goes beyond self interests but the inability
to create opportunities for Kwarans in an administration jointly labored to
put in place”. The PDP, according to the governor, is a reformed and inclusive
party that provides an enabling platform for members to actualize their
potentials.
Earlier in his address, the National President, Oro Descendants
Union, Alhaji Uthman Tunji Balogun had commended Governor Ahmed for his bold
attempts to change the face of the state through the provision of
infrastructure and amenities capable of improving the standard of living of the
people.
The president, on behalf of the nine communities that make up the Oro
kingdom, expressed appreciation to the Governor for his prompt response to
their call to upgrade the Kwara State college of education, Oro, to a degree
awarding institution, construction of Oloro Palace and the rehabilitation of
okeola- Oro / Ijomu – Oro road among others.
The union also appealed to the
Governor on upgrading the stool of Oloro to a first class status,
rehabilitation of interconnecting roads within the kingdom to facilitate
movement of goods and services among the communities within the kingdom.
