Kwara State All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship flag bearer, Engineer Salihu Yakubu Danladi, on Friday pledged to build on Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s legacies to move the state forward if voted into power.
He described his victory at the governorship primary election as a success for all other aspirants and members of the party in the state.
“We need to thank God Almighty for where we are. In APC, we are all one. There is no winner, there is no loser. We are all winners. I need to thank Kwarans for standing by Kwara North,” the Speaker of the State House of Assembly said while speaking with journalists shortly after he was declared winner of the primary election.
Yakubu thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for supporting his emergence as the candidate of the party.
“I would thank Mr President. He is truly the Jagaban of Borgu. This is the first time since 1999 that the Borgu Kingdom will have a governorship candidate from a ruling party. Sincerely, we thank His Excellency, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the father of the nation, for looking at where he got the Jagaban of Borgu and taking it to that side.
“We also need to thank Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq. He’s a man of his words. He’s a leader. He’s a transformer. And he has done very well across different sectors,” the Speaker said.
“We are part and parcel of this administration. As Speaker for almost seven years today, I’m practically part of all the policies of Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq. All I need to say is legacy continues, and our state will be better for it,” he added.
