Group drums support for Kwara Gov, other political appointees
Support
Iloffa (Kwara) Feb. 21, 2020 (NAN) A group, A.A. Support group in Oke-Ero Local Government Area of Kwara, has called for continuous support for Gov. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara and other APC political appointees from the council in order to achieve success in the discharge of their civic responsibilities.
Mr Kayode Bamidele, the Group’s Coordinator in the Local Government Area, made the appeal during an inter-religious prayer for the governor and his team in Iloffa, on Friday.
Bamidele said the prayer was organised toward seeking God’s divine intervention for the present administration in the state toward achieving the desired growth, progress and socio-economic development.
According to him, no matter how laudable or credible the government programmes and policies may be, there is need to seek God’s assistance to achieve results.
He said the formation of the group was not meant to run contrary to the party’s principles in the council, but to promote unity, togetherness, love, peace, progress and success among party members.
Bamidele used the opportunity to recognise the notable efforts of some APC council leaders and elders that ensured the formation of the group in the area.
“The fundamental aims and objective of the group is to promote unity, love, tolerance and togetherness for the overall success of the present administration.
“I equally want to appreciate the good efforts of our party leaders in the council for ensuring the formation of this group right at our door step.
“I want to appeal to all members of the party, leaders, stalwarts and political appointees, particularly party executive, to see ourselves as one united family in complementing the administration’s laudable programmes and initiatives.
” It is only by maintaining cordial relationship that our desires to transform the party in the council could be actualised,” he said.
Mr Michael Ajamu, the Assistant State Secretary of the group, in his remarks, described the occasion as very unique, saying it is a formidable platform toward promoting unity among members of the party.
“My advice is that we work as a formidable team and support our able governor, Malam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
“I will also add that we assist the government with experience so that in the long run we will benefit from the dividends of democracy,” he said.
Pastor Ajimoti Sunday, who led the Christian prayer, urged political leaders to strive toward fulfilling their electoral process and should not betray the trust reposed in them by the electorates.
“This is very important because one day you will give account of your stewardship before God almighty,” he said.
Alhaji Suleiman Imam, who led the Muslim prayer, reminded the gathering to always seek the favour of God through prayers whenever in any difficulties.
“Only God has the ultimate power to appoint or remove a person from position,” he said.
Some political appointees from the council including, Mr Raphael Adetiba, the Deputy Speaker of Kwara House of Assembly; Mrs Florence Oyeyemi, the state Commissioner for Finance; and Alhaji Suleiman Iliyasu, Commissioner for Works, were honoured for their meritorious services.
The major highlight of the event was the offering of prayers for the party, political appointees, the state and the country at large. (NAN)
