Gov Abdulrazaq’s reelection bid causes disquiet among Kwara students
The second term bid of Governor AbdulRahman Abdulrazaq on the All Progressives Congress (APC) platform is causing disquiet among the leadership of the National Association of Kwara State Students (NAKSS).
The association had been engulfed in a leadership crisis over the passing vote of no confidence in the present administration and the withdrawal of the same by the group’s leadership.
The association’s national president, Abdullahi Wokili, had on Wednesday, at a news conference, passed a vote of no confidence in Mr Abdulrazaq’s administration.
Mr Wokili, among other things, said the state had remained stagnant regarding security, economic, education and infrastructure developments and that the governor cannot move the state forward.
In a counter move, the association’s vice president (special duties), Akeemat Issa, in the company of other executive members, on Thursday held another news conference, dissociating the students’ body from the position of the president.
Ms Issa said at no time did the association’s executives meet to discuss or pass a vote of confidence or otherwise on any political candidate. The vice president added that it was surprising that a president who commended the governor 15 days ago could now condemn him.
Ms Issa condemned the president’s jettisoning the association’s charter and acting to soil its name.
