. Slams Abdulrazaq for ruining Legacy projects of past administration to settle scores with Saraki
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government for the decision to include Harmony Advanced Diagnostic Centre, Ilorin, a legacy project of the PDP government in Kwara State, among the health facilities slated for upgrading across the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria.
This was contained in a press statement signed by the Party’s Publicity Secretary, Olusegun Olusola Adewara (Sholyments) and made available to newsmen in Ilorin on Saturday.
In the release, the party explained that “despite Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq’s persistent attempts to undermine all projects initiated by the Saraki/PDP administration, including his relentless efforts to kill Harmony Advanced Diagnostic Centre and other important Kwara projects, this action by the Federal Government further vindicates the PDP’s regime.”

The statement stated that “It underscores our commitment to establishing institutions for the progress of Kwara before Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq’s administration set the state on a backward trajectory since his inception in 2019”
The PDP therefore commended President Tinubu’s government for its approach in building upon the legacies of the PDP administration.
According to the press Statement, “this move by the federal government, serves as a resounding disapproval of Governor Abdulrahman’s disruptive governance in Kwara State borne out of political envy and inferiority complex of the Governor, occasioned by his unnecessary competition with Saraki’s political leadership; and established that government must be seen as a continuous process by all political players who are interested in state building.”
The party further called on “President Tinubu to also explore revitalizing the Shonga Farm Holdings, Cargo Terminals at Ilorin Airport, Aviation College and the Water Reticulation agenda , all of which have unjustly suffered vicious attacks under the Abdulrahman-led government and are at the brinks of collapse solely because they were initiated by the PDP/Saraki’s administration.”
“It is imperative to recognize that the vision behind Shonga farm is to establish Kwara state as a hub of mechanized farming capable of contributing to food security and producing farm products in commercial quantities, especially in this challenging time facing our country.”
“Similarly, the Cargo terminal at Ilorin Airport was strategically put in place by the Saraki-led PDP administration to play a pivotal role in facilitating cross-border businesses, particularly as Kwara was transitioning to an industrial state.”
According to the release, “It is disheartening to witness this visionary project being substituted with a mundane tailor shop where sewing machines, procured at inflated prices, are stored by the AbdulRahman Government to deceive the people of Kwara and divert taxpayer’s money as no meaningful progress has been made since completion of the project.”
In capitulation, PDP in the press release “advised Governor Abdulrahman to shed his arrogance and humbly seek insight from his predecessors, who have all demonstrated commendable performance in governance.”
The party maintained that “It is instructive to note that promising institution such as Harmony Holdings, Kwara Express, Soludero Transport scheme , Kwara hotel and others that have been ruined by Abdulrahman’s disruptive governance are all agencies providing jobs for Kwara people and contributing to the social wellbeing of the state”
The release concluded with the party’s “hope that the Governor utilizes the remaining part of his tenure to retrace his steps by making moves at rectifying the wrongs and prevent Kwara from further deterioration under his administration’s watch.”
