Gov AbdulRazaq focused on APC winning FCT elections
Amid a series of continuous coordinated attacks by terrorists in Kwara communities, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq says he is focused and working hard to win the Federal Capital Territory for the ruling All Progressives Congress party.
Mr AbdulRazaq made this vow while inaugurating the APC FCT Council Election Campaign Council in Abuja on Friday ahead of the FCT Area Council elections fixed for February 21.
“On behalf of the members, distinguished members of this committee, I express a gratitude to the leadership of our party for the privilege to serve in this capacity,” Mr Abdulrazaq said.
He added, “I assure the president and our party leaders that we will work as a team with stakeholders and influencers to deliver the FCT to the All Progressives Congress.”
The Kwara governor said, “I’m confident that the good people of the Federal Capital Territory across the six council areas will come out to align with our party and show truly that APC is not just the party of now but also the reputable vessel to Nigeria’s progress and sustainable future.”
Mr AbdulRazaq’s statement comes as terrorists continually ravage Kwara communities, killing and abducting hundreds.
In Woro, a community in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State, terrorists killed close to 200 earlier in February, abducting about 100 people.
On Saturday, Boko Haram terrorists released a heart-wrenching video in which they paraded hundreds of abducted victims, including women and children, reportedly kidnapped from Woro community in Kaiama LGA of Kwara State.
