AbdulRazaq’s award purchased, not earned – APC Chieftain

A chieftain of Kwara State All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Abdul-Rahoof Bello has described the Leadership Newspaper ‘Best Governor of the Year’ Award bestowed on Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq as self glorification and purchased award.

The APC Chieftain stated this yesterday while answering questions from our reporter through telephone call.

According to him, “what leadership quality has the governor demonstrated over time to deserve such award.”

“Personally to me, it is like self glorification. I don’t think he has done anything exceptionally different from any other leaders in the state to have deserved an award.

“The assumed award of leadership, let us ask ourselves, what leadership quality has he provided in the state? Has he had leadership in his party,” Bello said.

He added that the governor has personally divided his family party on the basis of bad leadership.

“AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has successfully divided his party into two factions. One headed by him and another headed by Bashir Omolaja Bolarinwa.

“He also divided his own faction into three sub committee, one is led by Iliasu Ibrahim, another sub-faction is led by Senator Makanjuola Ajadi and Sunday Fagbemi leads the third faction.

“The Kwara State House of Assembly is another faction that has truncated good leadership in the state. So where is that leadership quality that justifies his recent award,” he stressed.

Bello further queried the template used by Leadership Newspaper for AbdulRazaq to have deserved the award, saying his administration in Kwara has been marred with corruption allegations.

“We have lots of corruption allegations in his administration, especially at State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), where contracts were inflated. The award given to AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq was purchased, not deserved,” Bello affirmed.
