You know I don’t mince words. I am very pleased with only Ali Ahmad as the next Governor of Kwara State. He is in the forefront, no one is even close. He is someone I can vouch for anywhere, anyday and anytime. He is very humble and nice to a fault. I have known him right from my ascension to the throne of my forefathers. We, the traditional rulers, do talk about gubernatorial personalities; I can boldly say that we all say good things about him. Right from the day he purchased the form, we have started praying for him and we urge all delegates and political gladiators to pick Dr. Ali Ahmad as the Party’s guber candidate for the forthcoming governorship election.”
Olofa of Offa, Oba Mufutau Gbadamosi, Esuwoye II on Monday 17/09/2018 during Ali Ahmad’s consultation tour to the Olofa’s Palace
Everyone is aware that we in Kwara North are strongly advocating for the governorship seat, but if Allah says it will not be, you (Ahmad) are the one I am supporting out of the whole lot. The ability of the Speaker to ensure rancour free relationship and cohesion between the three arms of government and among all the twenty members in the Kwara State House of Assembly are clear testimony to his capability to move the state to a greater height”
Etsu Patigi and Vice Chairman, Kwara State Council of Chiefs, Alhaji Ibrahim Chatta Umar on Tuesday 18-09-2018 when Ali Ahma?d visited his palace in Patigi in continuation of his consultation tour.
All the aspirants from Saraki dynasty are very good, but clearly Ali Ahmad is second to none. He has the required experience to govern the state having served as the Chief of Staff, as a legislator and a reputable lawyer. Especially, as a senior colleague, we believe he won’t let us down. As a matter of fact, all councillors from Kwara South have met and have made up our minds that we will support and work for his success.”
Chairman, Kwara South Councillors’ Forum, Hon Adeniyi Kayode Eleyeleย on Tuesday 11/09/2018 while on a solidarity visit to the Speaker
Ali Ahmad has always identified with us; therefore we have no option but to support his gubernatorial ambition, even as we are not politicians. All Okada riders in Kwara State herebyย pledge to ensure that he clinches the ticket as we have instructed every member not to identify with any other aspirant except Ali Ahmad”.
Alhaji Abdulfatah Oladimeji, Chairman, Kwara State Okada Riders Association on Monday 17/09/2018 during the union’s official declaration of support for Dr. Ali Ahmad
Ali Ahmad has always been there for us, through thick and thin, he has been very supportive and passionate about our plights. We know there are many aspirants but we have nothing to show than to pledge our loyalty to his cause too, by ensuring that he is picked as the PDP governorship candidate and eventually win at the election proper. We are using this occasion to plead with the party delegates and the Leader, Senator Bukola Saraki, to ensure he is elected at the primaries”
Alhaji Baba Alapa, Chairman, Kwara State Old Motor Spare Parts Dealers Association on Monday 17/09/2018 during Dr. Ali Ahmad’s visit to Ipata Oloje
The Speaker, Dr. Ali Ahmad has three qualities that clearly distinguished him from other gubernatorial aspirants. His loyalty is unrivalled, he has never failed in any assignment given and governance will be very easy to bring to the masses. Out of all the aspirants, Ali Ahmad stands tall among others when you are talking about being loyal to the party. He has handled various state assignments for the Senate President and did not disappoint him.ย He has been tested severally and every member has the belief that if he clinches the ticket, it will benefit the whole Kwara. He has traversed government cycle and possessed qualities that differentiate him from others”
Asa PDP stakeholder, Alhaji Wahabi Bolakale Lawal, on 13/09/2018 during the Speaker’s consultation tour to the council
W e are very much aware of your performance serving as the Chief of Staff to our Leader, Dr. Bukola Saraki, therefore we believe sincerely if given the ticket and if eventually you emerge as the Governor, you will even perform better. We know how the Government House used to be before and after you left as the Chief of Staff. If Allah permits, we believe everybody will benefit from your administration and we are using this medium to pray to God to bequeath the position to you’
