Kwara state Governor-elect, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, on
Thursday said he would run a government that serves the best interest of the
people.
AbdulRazaq disclosed this during the inauguration of the
80-member transition committee in Ilorin, Kwara state.
“The huge margin of our victory at the polls suggests that
our people are fed up with the status quo and want a new approach to
governance. We therefore have a historic duty to serve their best.
“To do that, we must understand the current governance
structure in the state; we must know how the current system works to be able to
know where to begin, what current policy would be retained, and what policy
must go.
“We also need to know what is in the books in terms of
financial receipts, obligations, contracts and other things.
“This is why we have taken our time to nominate some of the
best hands around – in terms of competence, credibility and maturity – as members
of this committee, with proper accommodation of the various political
tendencies in our political party.
“In essence, the most crucial work of this committee is to
ensure we hit the ground running on May 29th,” he said.
While hailing their credibility and commitment to serve the
state, AbdulRazaq urged the committee to discharge their duties in a way that
would help the new government serve the people.
The chairman of the Transition committee, Aminu Adisa Logun,
said their job is to bridge the gap between the outgoing and incoming
government.
“The Transition Committee is not a scouting committee to
suggest or recruit personnel for the governor. Ours is to highlight what needs
to be done in line with the change mantra of the government. Our duty is mostly
technical such as gathering and interpreting data for the new government in its
bid to serve the people of the state,” Togun said.
He thanked the Governor-elect for nominating them for the
crucial assignment.
The chairman of the APC in the state, Bashiru Bolarinwa,
said the incoming government is already a departure from the past as conscious
efforts are being made to carry everyone along.
“Let us be clear that Mallam AbdulRazaq means business. The
essence of putting the Transition Committee is so that he could hit the ground
running. Members should endeavour to be up and doing,” he added.
