He has changed the narrative of Kwara politics and governance. This administration is for all Kwarans. We are solidly behind the governor.
“We are satisfied with the governor’s social investment schemes which have taken some Kwarans out of poverty, infrastructure projects scattered around the three senatorial districts and regular payment of workers salaries and retirees pensions.
