A chieftain of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State, Mr Iyiola Oyedepo, has urged the
people of the state to vote for His party during the 2019 general elections.
He told the people of the state
not to forget the hardship they had allegedly been subjected to since 2003
under the leadership of Dr Bukola Saraki, the current administration and the
People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Oyedepo, in his Eid-el-Kabir
message, called on Muslim faithful to use the occasion of the celebration to
pray for the rescue of the state.
“Poverty, hunger, misery and
despondency are everywhere and on every face of the people of the state”, NAN
quoted him as saying.
“Succeeding governments since
2003 have pauperised the generality of the people of the state; the government
has no programme that can benefit the masses”.
According to him, successive
governments since 2003 only carried out projects that have no direct impact on
the lives of the common people.
“What is the benefit of Aviation
College, Metropolitan Square, Football Academy, Shonga Farm and Underpass to
the ordinary people on the streets?
“All these projects have no
direct benefit on the masses of the state,” Oyedepo said.
He also challenged the state
government to disclose how much the Aviation College had generated as revenue
since its establishment.
“You should not forget all these
wasteful projects when voting during next year’s general election; Kwara people
should vote wisely,” he said.
Oyedepo claimed that the state
government since 2003 had received over N1 trillion in federal allocation,
Value Added Tax, bonds, internally generated revenue and Paris Club refund.
He also appealed to the people of
the state to collect their voter’s card to enable them to vote for all APC
candidates in the 2019 general elections.
