Some elder statesmen and leaders of thought from across Kwara State have endorsed candidature of President Muhammadu Buhari and the state All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, for the coming general elections. The people also said that the state needs a paradigm shift to end years of alleged underdevelopment. Signatories to the communique include Chief Cornelius Adebayo; Chief Ayotunde Raji; Chief Philips O.Adekeye; Engr. However, we are worried that some political leaders are trying hard to intimidate the opposition through violence. We also urge the civil society/observers to pay good attention to Kwara without being partisan.”
