Kwara PDP Slams Abdulrazaq For Allegedly Ruining Past Administration’s Legacy Projects to Hit Back At Saraki * ….hails Tinubu’s moves to upgrade Harmony Diagnostic Centre, Ilorin
By Johnson Olayinka
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State has slammed Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq for allegedly ruining Legacy projects left behind by his predecessors, even as it lauded President Bola Tinubu for his decision to upgrade the Harmony Advanced Diagnostic Centre in Ilorin along with other health infrastructure and equipment across all six geo-political zones in the country.
The party in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary Olusegun Olusola Adewara identified Shonga Farm Holdings, Cargo Terminals at Ilorin Airport, the Aviation College, Water Reticulation Scheme as well as Harmony Holdings, Kwara Express, Soludero Transport scheme and Kwara Hotel as among the inherited legacy projects ruined by Abdulrasaq
” It is imperative to recognize that the vision behind Shonga farm is to establish Kwara state as a hub of mechanized farming capable of contributing to food security and producing farm products in commercial quantity, especially in this challenging time facing our country”.
” Similarly, the Cargo terminal at Ilorin Airport was strategically put in place by the Saraki-led PDP administration to play a pivotal role in facilitating cross-border businesses, particularly as Kwara was transitioning to an industrial state”, the party said, adding that It is disheartening to witness this visionary project being substituted with mundane tailor shop with no meaningful progress being made since its completion.
Kwara PDP advised Abdulrazaq to shed his arrogance “and humbly seek insight from his predecessors, who have all demonstrated commendable performance in governance”
It expressed the hope that the Governor will utilize the remaining part of his tenure to retrace his steps by taking moves at rectifying the wrongs and prevent Kwara from further deterioration under his administration’s watch.
While commending President Tinubu for his decision to include the state-owned Harmony Diagnostic Centre among the health facilities slated for upgrading across the country, Kwara PDP said this action by the Federal Government further vindicates the PDP’s regime.
“It underscores our commitment to establishing institutions for the progress of Kwara before Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq’s administration sets the state on a backward trajectory since his inception in 2019″.
” The PDP commends President Tinubu’s government for its approach in building upon the legacies of the PDP administration”.
The party stated further that ” this move by the federal government serves as a resounding disapproval of Governor Abdulrahman’s disruptive governance in Kwara State borne out of political envy , inferiority complex of the Governor occasioned by his unnecessary competition with Saraki’s political leadership and established that government must be seen as a continuous process by all political players who are interested in state building”
” Furthermore, we call on President Tinubu to also explore revitalizing the Shonga Farm Holdings, Cargo Terminals at Ilorin Airport, Aviation College and the Water Reticulation agenda , all of which have unjustly suffered vicious attacks under the Abdulrahman-led government and are at the brinks of collapse solely because they were initiated by the PDP/Saraki’s administration”
