Lean years of complete governance failure, characterised by ineptitude and incapacity of his authorities to carry out its primary capabilities, resulting in a collapse of the rule of legislation, economic system, and social companies.
Little surprise then on the degree of insecurity and the widespread felony actions, and common avoidable violence witnessed within the state.
For these seven years, the governor has failed to offer important companies akin to healthcare, schooling, sanitation, and infrastructure, leading to dire residing situations for citizen, selecting moderately to mismanage the economic system, resulting in localized hyperinflation, unemployment, poverty, and a major decline in the usual of residing, occasioned mainly by widespread corruption, cronyism, and nepotism, eroding public belief in authorities establishments.

A system of state sponsored repression pervades, limiting citizen’s proper, occasioning outrage, and lack of public belief and confidence in his authorities.
Obviously, Governor AbdulRahman, has woefully did not ship on marketing campaign guarantees, however has as an alternative changed them with excuses, poor efficiency in workplace, and perceived corruption thereby eroding the belief of the electorates.

It is changing into clearer by the day, {that a} robust, well-organized, and efficient opposition can capitalize on the incumbent governor’s weaknesses and sway voters.
Unfortunately, Governor AbdulRazaq is in contrast to many of the different Governors, a lot cash has been coming into the cofers of the state authorities, each from the federation account and the state internally generated income.
For occasion, up to now two years, Kwara State disbursement from the federation account has been persistently above 110 Billion Naira, which has grown from N42.87 billion in 2022 coupled with an enormous about 5.7 Billion month-to-month IGR, giving no room for his excuses and horrible failures.

An ineptitude Incarnate and corruption Connoisseur, Governor AbdulRazaq’s visionless management of over seven has executed kwara state a lot injury and fostered evil, erasing all previous good points and driving it again to the coldroom of regression.
A resolute accountability avoider, and grasp of evasion, Governor AbdulRahman’s incapacity to encourage growth has change into a major menace to the survival of the APC in Kwara state, particularly when the state’s present scenario is in contrast with the previous or with neighboring states who will not be amassing such enormous quantity from the federation disbursement.
