Kwara Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has said his administration's achievements in office will enhance the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming elections.

The Governor said this in Ilorin, the state capital at the inauguration of the over 2000-member APC Campaign Council.

'As a government, we have made your job easy because of what we have done in every part of the state. We met dilapidated structures across the state in primary health and education, poor infrastructure, and lack of water supply. We have gone very far to overcome that. We have done exceedingly well across sectors,' AbdulRazaq said.

He added: 'We have stabilised things, and the next few years will serve to consolidate on our achievements and position our state for greatness and further empower our people positively, especially young people and women.

'The previous governments couldn't even pay salaries, pensions, and gratuities in spite of huge funds that they received. Within the last two months, we have paid about N6bn to clear salary arrears, pensions, and gratuities for 2009, 2010, and now 2011.

'We will continue to upscale on what we have done in the areas of health, education, agriculture, road infrastructure, and social safety net.'

AbdulRazaq congratulated all members of the council for their nomination by the party and charged them to consolidate on the success recorded in 2019.

'You are charged to deliver our party just as you did in 2019. The immediate challenge is to deliver Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the next president of Nigeria. Then, you must deliver all our senators and House of Representatives members on the 25th of February, 2023. You should also deliver all our candidates in the March 12 governorship and House of Assembly elections,' AbdulRazaq said.

The Governor also encouraged the youths to learn from the experiences and guidance of elders to guarantee the success of the party.
