What Kwara governor-elect, Abdulrazaq said about PDP

Kwara state Governor-elect, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq on Wednesday said he would not label the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as opposition.

Abdulrazaq said this in Ilorin, the state capital after receiving his certificate of return from the state Resident Election Electoral Commissioner of INEC.

“This state belongs to all. We don’t see anybody as opposition. It is Kwara for all. All hands must be on deck (to rebuild the state).

‘’This is a poor state and a lot of work has to be done. We will embrace everybody,” AbdulRazaq said.

“When you record a winning margin of 75 percent as we did, it means that even those on the side of PDP voted for us.

“So we are going to ensure that we all work together. We are not going to label anybody. There are good people on the other side too.

“Our members will also be taken care of and our priority will be to rebuild our state. We need to get everyone together for the task ahead and move our state forward.

“We have a big task ahead of us but we will surmount the challenges ahead by the grace of God. Once again, we thank everyone who took part in the elections — either as officials or as voters.”
