2023: Offa People Back Olofa, Endorse Kwara Gov For Second Term

The people of Offa in Offa local government area of Kwara state have endorsed Governor Abdulrahman AbdulRazaq for a second term in office.

The people of the second largest town in the state hinged their decision on what they called superlative performance of AbdulRazaq in the last two years.

The people expressed their total support for last week’s endorsement of AbdulRazaq for second term by the Olofa of Offa, Oba Mufutau gbadamosi, Esuwoye II.

Describing Abdulrazaq as a goal getter, the people said the difference in the development in the state now compared to what obtainable in the past is very clear and unambiguous.

Speaking at a town hall meeting which had critical stakeholders in the affairs of Offa including representatives of Olofa of Offa, the Chief Imam of Offa, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and Muslim leaders, youths as well as business community in attendance, the APC Chairman in Offa local government, Abdullateef Afolayan, said: “Come 2023, there’s no vacancy in Kwara Government House as we’re determined as a people to return Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq for a second term in office.”

Afolayan’s declaration was greeted with ecstasy by the Deputy Governor Kayode Alabi, the Special Advisers on Political, Political Communication and Strategy, Gidado Alakawa, Bashir Adigun and Sa’adu Salau, respectively, who graced the event.

The representative of Olofa, the Asalofa of Offa, Alhaji Isiaka Shittu, who said that ongoing developmental efforts in the state by the governor, especially in Offa town should be commended, mentioned renovation of the Offa general hospital, rehabilitation of Offa roads and Offa water works as some of the areas where the governor has impacted on the lives of the town.

The women, represented by the market women leader, Alhaja Idiat Yesuf, said that the people know the level of development which the present administration has achieved since assumption of office, and commended the governor for financial empowerment, especially trader money, to support traders in the state.

She said that Offa women backed the endorsement of the governor by the Olofa, “because, we know how the present administration met Kwara and how it is today.”

The APC women leader in Offa, Alhaja Folake Shittu, also canvassed support for governor’s second term in office, noting in particular AbdulRazaq’s promotion of women inclusion in government.
