Akeem Lawal, Son Of Late Kwara Governor Joins Guber Race by Nobody: 5:56pm On Aug 18, 2018
Son of the late governor of Kwara state, Alhaji Akeem Lawal, has declared his intention to contest in 2019 governorship race under the banner of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking when he was received by his supporters and admirers on arrival at the Ilorin International airport on Saturday, Alhaji Lawal, son of the late governor, Alhaji Mohammed Lawal, said that his intention to run was a call to service.

The governorship aspirant, who said that Kwara state could only be taken to a greater level of development with the contribution of ideas from youth population, added that he is prepared to inject youthful energy and ideas that would make change the fortune of the state.

Late Mohammed Lawal, the father of the governorship aspirant, served as All Peoples Party (APP) governor of Kwara state between 1999 and 2003.

When asked to comment on reconvening of the National Assembly on urgent national matters such as the INEC budget, the governorship aspirant said that "It goes without saying. There is a national priority at stake. If truly the members of the NASS think about our nation first, then, it goes without saying that they need to reconvene and take care of urgent national matters. This is what the people elected them to do. Let us look at the people and the nation first and stop looking at their individual and self-aggrandizement. Not reconvening is not in the interest of the nation. We know that elections are coming and things need to be done, the nation needs to move forward. You can not hold the nation to a standstill. They should sacrifice for the nation and reconvene.

Exactly, He is a young man who can also gather massive votes based on his late father's name that still reigns in the state. He is just like Adelabu in Oyo state
