The Labour Party on Thursday
endorsed AbdulRahman Abdulrazaq, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) for Saturday’s governorship election in Kwara State.
Labour Party’s governorship
candidate, Comrade Issa Aremu announcing withdrawal from the race, said the
development marked the beginning of liberation from one party which had ruled
the state for 16 years.
At a brief ceremony held at the
Africa’s People hall of Mustapha Akanbi Foundation, Ilorin, labour leaders and
scores of members of both Labour Party and APC embraced the development.
He said: “What we are saying is
whether you believe in Otoge slogan of APC or Odopin (the end has come) of
Labour Party, we must ensure that PDP did not win Saturday’s elections.
“This coming elections and last
Saturday’s presidential and national assembly elections, are not only about
winning; it is about liberation of our state from dictatorship of one person,
one party.
“Having campaigned vigorously to
all the nooks and crannies of Kwara and nationally, since I made my declaration
to run for governorship since July 2018, we lower our ambition for the greater
interest of Kwara, and we will work our talk. As from now, I will go back to
our people and explain this to them.
“Both Otoge and Odopin, are the
same thing, we have decided that we are going to back the governorship of
Alhaji AbdulRahman Abdulrazaq.”
Aremu further urged Abdulrazaq to
give priority to women during his administration.
