The gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State, Alhaji Abdullahi Shuaib Yaman, says with its scorecard in the last three years in Kwara, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has already chased itself out of power.

According to him, the ruling party has set the ship of Kwara on a reverse gear and refused to think outside the box to maximize the state’s huge potentials so as to create wealth for the citizens.
The PDP candidate, a former commissioner at the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RAMFC), said the APC has only plunge the state into huge debt crisis,
He said if elected in 2023, the PDP administration would take advantage of the abundance natural resources in Kwara to create more wealth.
“The APC has already chased itself out of power with its clueless leadership. Our electorates don’t ask the most important questions. No responsible government will put the state in debt.
“Kwara is richly endowed with enough resources to create clusters of production for aggressive and productive youths from which we could exact tax to be ploughed into the social infrastructure part of governance like education, health and social security.
“It is not enough to go to Abuja every month to seek monthly allocation from oil to bring and spend in Kwara. Any stupid man on the street can spend money so that is not what a governor is elected to do principally.
“As we speak, Kwara state is indebted to an amount in excess of N100 billion and we service debt by as much N1.3 billion per month”, he added.
He accused the APC administration in the state of gross incompetence, saying it has not made Kwara prosperous like it promised back in 2019.
