Lai Mohammed, minister of
information, says the broom of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has swept
Kwara state clean of “hegemony politics”.
Mohammed spoke at a news briefing
in Ilorin, the state capital, on Monday.
The minister said the long battle
for the emancipation of Kwara had been attained with the outcome of the polls.
He said with the unprecedented
victories, the people could confidently say that “the Berlin Wall of Hegemony
Politics in Kwara has finally fallen for good”.
“It is a great victory for all the
good people of Kwara and we give all gratitude to God for this victory,” he
said.
“To the long-suffering people of
Kwara, this is your victory. You worked hard for it. You made incredible
sacrifices, and your efforts paid off.
“You said ‘O To Ge’ (Enough is
Enough) and it came to pass. Never again will anyone enslave you under the
guise of dynasty or hegemony politics. Never Again!!!
He thanked the security agencies
for providing a conducive atmosphere for the people to exercise their franchise
without fear.
He also thanked the leadership of
the party and expressed special gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari for his
“unflinching support “which propelled the party to victory.
The minister said with the
victories, the real work had just begun for the party because the expectations
of the people are very high and they could not afford to disappoint them.
He urged party members and
supporters to be magnanimous in victory, shun vindictiveness or hatred while
celebrating.
“Our victory here transcends
Kwara state; it is a victory for all advocates of good governance everywhere.
It is the triumph of good over evil, no matter how long it takes,” he said.
“It will forever be a reference
point in the political history of Nigeria, and a hard blow to those who
willfully turn the public treasury into their personal piggy bank.
“We must ride on the wave of
their enthusiasm and determination to deliver to them the dividends of
democracy, for which they have been yearning.
“All our leaders, both elected
and otherwise, must come together to channel the energy and vibrancy of our
people to positive goals.
“There is no room for violence of
any kind. We are all Kwarans. The massive victory in Kwara state came on a
peaceful note.
“We must maintain that and banish
all the vestiges of violence from our state.
“It is a new day in Kwara state
and the sun is shining bright and beautiful once again! I thank you all for
your kind attention.”
