PEOPLE'S GOVERNOR ABDULRAHMAN ABDULRAZAQ CON: AN EMBODIMENT OF PEACE, UNIFIER, SILENT ACHIEVER AND INTEGRITY.

By: Hon. Comrade Lukman Olukayode Ahmed

No doubt as a country, Nigeria is being overwhelmed by circumstances. 

Such things include, but are not limited to human adversity, collapsing or collapsed institutions, natural disasters, a dissolute or disoriented political elite and a disillusioned and disenfranchised populace tottering at the edge of despair and despondency.

The rise of incivility pervades the Nigerian terrain; a nasty edginess is the order of the day.

Tempers flare without notice and almost in every public place, arguments quickly degenerates to insults and bitter recriminations.

 Foul images are carried about like equal opportunity grenade as religious, political, commercial and even academic transactions are marked by rancor and incredible rudeness.

Things have so degenerated to the extent that the “big men” who should be belly-aching over how to solve the problems of the State and the nation are getting themselves enmeshed in a game of much levity while riff-raffs, ruffians and ragamuffins are driving sane people to Golgotha with bombs.

The fact is, no state or country are without it's problems.

We cannot but agree that a state or the nation are in dire need of:

Ideology of social reconstruction, Political and economic empowerment, Steady power supply, Creation of employment opportunities, Adequate food supply, Better health facilities in both Rural and Urban areas, Zero-tolerance against corrupt officials and so many other basic amenities that the citizens of a given state or country needs.

When the right people are in power to strive for positive change, with one foot in front of the other, State and the nation would be rid- off of its problems in various sectors of the State or country with time. 

With the right people such as Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq CON, even though would not change situation of things in the State overnight, would be a spark to the brain that would bring about all that the State require to grow.

Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq CON is among the faithful and committed leaders carrying the burning torch and leading the citizens to a brighter future as our founding fathers did.

The people of Kwara State are so much fortunate to have a trustworthy son and leader as him.

 He is an exemplary leader with utmost integrity. 

This was well proven as a Governor of the State of Harmony.

His integrity withstood the test of time, and he did not waver from his obligation to his people who have shown that he tremendously has the best interest of his people at heart.

He has shown that we should always refuse to rationalize the upside-down way of looking at the State or the Nation. 

Our poverty and underdevelopment should never serve as a reason for us to abandon our dignity as human beings, turning ourselves into subservient recipients.

It is on record that men and women who have demonstrated exceptional skills for positive change in philosophy, medicine, science, engineering, music, and other disciplines are honoured as idols or role models in that particular field.

Such persons became a reference point and celebrated when discussing that particular subject within and outside the community. 

As a role model, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq CON serves as a standard of excellence and is worthy of emulation. He is devoted to the interest of the State, defending and advancing the interest of its citizens.

He upheld that a State in which there is no danger of hostilities needs to be established, and this would have to involve more than merely the absence of unfriendliness. 

With that implied, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq CON placed real security against an outbreak of war, terrorism, among other threats that would have deteriorating effects on the citizens of Kwara State.

He cares so much for his people that he went, and is still going to greater heights to provide for them. 

Life became bearable for the people of Kwara State when basic amenities like portable drinking water, better health care systems, youth empowering programmes, the creation of better access roads and the on-going mega developments.

Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq CON is a man not driven by greed and lust for power as is common in modern day Nigeria. 

He is truly an embodiment of peace and integrity.

End:

Immediate Past Special Assistant on Poverty Alleviation Kwara Central to Governor of Kwara State.
