PDP says AbdulRazaq governing Kwara State via WhatsApp messages

The Peoples Democratic Party, Kwara State branch, has accused Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of governing the state ‘via WhatsApp messages.’

The party also chided AbdulRazaq for neglecting the road projects in the state.

The PDP, in a statement signed by its state Publicity Secretary, Olusegun Adewara, on Saturday, urged Abdulrazaq to explain his interest in the Lagos-Calabar road project that swayed his priority, causing him to neglect the immediate concerns of the Kwaran people.

The party expressed its disappointment at the governor for showing more concern for the Federal Government-backed Lagos-Calabar road project rather than prioritising the roads in the state.

The PDP said, “We are deeply concerned that during a recent high-level meeting with the President, Governor Abdulrazaq chose to discuss the 700km Lagos-Calabar road coastal project instead of addressing critical infrastructural needs within Kwara State, notably the deplorable state of the less than 200km Ilorin-Omu-Aran, Ilorin-Kaiama and other roads which are vital arteries for residents and businesses.

“The Governor’s diversion of focus to the non-Kwara project at such a strategic gathering is not only disappointing but grossly irresponsible,” the statement said.

The PDP also urged the governor to return home and see to the development of the state, adding that the “governance vacuum” in the state is “unacceptable.” Punch
