Economic Hardship: Kwara Governor AbdulRazaq Appeals to Nigerians to be more Patient with Tinubu

Kwara State Governor  and Chairman Nigeria Governors Forum(NGF) Alhaji AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq at the weekend appealed to Nigerians to be more patient with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in view of the present economic hardship in the country. 

AbdulRazaq  however stated that,  the administration has  continued to roll out programmes to ease things and improve the living standards of people.

AbdulRazaq  made the appeal  in Ijagbo, Oyun local government of the state, at the 1st coronation anniversary of the Onijagbo of Ijagbo land Oba Sarafadeen Adeniyi Babalola and the launch of Ijagbo Palace Development Fund.

The governor  said the President had assumed office amid mounting economic downturn, which required systemic reforms and understanding of the people. 

According to him, “President Tinubu is gradually fixing things. So he needs our patience and support to get things done.

“For those who are planning protests, let them have patience with Mr. President to fix things. It is an appeal. He just spent one year in the office. It is also too early for those who have political ambitions to start measuring his performance.”

The Governor congratulated the monarch on his 1st anniversary on the throne, commending him for promoting peace and unity and supporting the government to succeed.

“We need the continued support of the people of the Ijagbo community and the entire state to succeed. Our success is your success. 

“Both the Onijagbo of Ijagbo and the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice have spoken well. 

“All that they have said is already being worked out. We are committed to improving access to basic infrastructure in Ijagbo land and across the state,” he said.

The anniversary was attended by various dignitaries, including Senator Lola Ashiru (Kwara South); AGF/Justice Minister Prince Lateef Fagbemi SAN; Chairman KAM Holdings Alhaji Kamoru Yusuf; Ijagbo high chiefs; President of Ijagbo Descendants’ Union (IDU) Chief Tunde Agboola Oyawoye.

It was also attended by the Olupo of Ajase Ipo Oba Ismaila Yahaya Alebiosu; Olofa of Offa Oba Mufutau Gbadamosi Esuwoye II; Olomu of Omu Aran Oba Abdulraheem Olaoti; 

and Olusin of Ijara Isin Oba Solomon Olugbenga Oloyede; among others.

Also speaking, the Attorney General of the Federation and  Minister of Justice, Mr. Fagbemi  said the federal government is doing its best to salvage the present economic situation in the country and called on people to shelve the planned protests.

The AGF assured that Nigerians would soon begin to feel the ease of the transformative agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu led administration.

 Fagbemi appreciated God that the first year of the reign of Onijagbo has been peaceful and impactful, and thanked Governor AbdulRazaq for his administration’s support to the community.

Onijagbo of Ijagbo, Oba Sarafadeen, in his remarks, thanked the Governor for his support for the community and solicited for more, especially in the area of road infrastructure and schoolteachers.

He praised AbdulRazaq for doing so much on security for people’s lives and properties, saying Kwara is relatively peaceful under the present administration in the state.

The monarch also appreciated Mr. Fagbemi, Senator Ashiru, and the Olofa of Offa for their numerous support and advice, which he said have assisted him to achieve greatly in the last one year.

He disclosed a plan by his community to establish a community secondary school to complement government’s efforts. 

The Governor had earlier visited Share, Ifelodun local government, where he attended the Fidau prayer for the mother of the Olupako of Share, Oba Olawale Aruna Ilufemiloye, late Alhaja Bilikisu Asunle Suleiman, who died on 19th July, 2024.

He also attended the funeral of the mother of Prof. Yusuf Abdul Rasheed Musa, Alhaja Wulemat Musa, in Offa.
