AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq

thumb|No government is perfect. We aren’t perfect either, and no man is. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq (born 5 February 1960) is a Nigerian politician who has served as governor of Kwara State since 2019. Quotes I took an oath to serve the people of Kwara State. I am focused on service delivery to the greatest number. To serve well, you have to be a good listener; that is one of my strongest attributes. I talk less and listen more. It takes a humble person to listen. We are not shouting about what we’re doing. So, that’s why it’s like we’re not doing anything, but the people are feeling the impact. BETWEEN 2013 and 2019, there was no investment in education. When we came in, there was a backlog. I started paying gradually. Because of their political strength, UBEC could not go to EFCC. When we came in, there was N450 million left; we promptly paid it. Between then and now, there is Seven Billion Naira available to us. But we also have to look for another Seven Billion Naira to match it. That’s where we are gradually taking it now. Specifically, I express our appreciation to the Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu for the swiftness with which he graciously processed our request for more hands to strengthen the presence of the Army in the state, On behalf of the people and government of our state, I wholeheartedly thank Mr. President for yet another promise kept to the state. ExecutiveBranch We are confident that the new battalion will greatly strengthen counterterrorism and anti-kidnapping operations across various theatres. Of particular note are the other discreet, multi-agency efforts of government to stamp out kidnappings, free all victims, and clear all unwanted elements from our forests. No government is perfect. We aren’t perfect either, and no man is. However, we are clear about the sanctity of our mandate and our responsibilities to the people. Our party and government will be remembered by how much positive development we bring to the state and the impact we have on the masses. The flogging one is a national problem. It’s just because it’s highlighted, it’s happening every day, it’s a cultural thing. Going forward we will react and manage these fires as they come. Some of them will be deliberate, some of them will be used to show that the state is out of control, creating perceptions, and so on. We will withdraw the licenses of any school that does that again. So, I won’t want to preempt the committee, but they have eminent jurists and Islamic leaders When we came in, there was a backlog. I started paying gradually. Because of their political strength, UBEC could not go to EFCC. The interesting thing about this administration is that in our House of Assembly, only one person has been in politics before. In the cabinet, only one person. No. Really, I don’t share the concern. I think we have to go back to the context of the political environment, where we’re all coming from; where we’re going, our perception. I started with the Fourth Republic in 1998. We were in the Peoples Democratic Party then. Everybody else (in Kwara) was in the All Nigeria Peoples Party with Saraki People didn’t understand the appeal process of the INEC; you’ve lost, go home. From CPC, it was still deliberate and we hung in there. We were there for 2015. CPC, we built the party up. We did our best. Those were the days INEC was just nothing. Our goal was to change the system in the state. It was not until 2011, that we found ourselves in the ACN, but then ACN belonged to Asiwaju and Lai Mohammed was his front man here so since they had their candidate. It is a game of numbers, these primaries. It’s about working. I’ve had the experience for almost 20 years.
