TEXT OF PRESS CONFERENCE ADDRESSED BY ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS (APC), KWARA STATE CHAPTER, AT STATE SECRETARIAT, #26A, RESERVATION ROAD, ILORIN, ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2021



GOVERNOR ABDULRAHMAN ABDULRASAQ SHOULD DESIST FROM THEATRICAL DISPLAY OF INGRATITUDE

Gentlemen of the press,
It is delightful to address you this afternoon to discuss some issues arising from the catechism credited to Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq as press interview on state matters.
In it, the taciturn and reticent Governor opened up a pandora box of pettiness, selfishness, vindictiveness and small mindedness while regurgitating his pent up angers on 2019 campaign funds and the periscope of his trajectory of political emotional instability since 1998.

According to a Chinese proverb, "The wise man forgets insults but the ungrateful forgets benefits". It is not surprising to those who are familiar with Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq's background, that he has continued to bite the fingers that fed him.

He threw caution and decorum expected of a man in his position to the winds by calling the Hon. Minister of Information and Culture, Alh. Lai Mohammed unprintable names.

Nothing can be truer than the notion that in every class of society, gratitude is the rarest of all human virtues. However, it is least expected that a man supposedly brought up in Islamic philosophy could be so unmindful of the Islamic ethical values of gratitude and moral rectitude in human relationship.

Gentlemen of the press, ladies and gentlemen. I crave your indulgence to deflate one-by-one, the balloon of lies flown by Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq.

1]. 2019 Election Campaign Funds

Without any fear of contradictions and with available records at our disposal, the credits of our resounding victory at the 2019 general elections should go to the Hon. Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed and other stakeholders. The Hon. Minister sourced and disbursed funds for election campaign and logistics. Alhaji Lai did, as a party leader all that was expected and required for a party to win elections. Ironically the then gubernatorial candidate,Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq who was being assisted contributed nothing to the campaign funds which himself had earlier acknowledged. It is also important to mention that the party received no kobo as campaign fund from anybody other Alhaji Lai that we relied on, contrary to the Governor's blackmail. All other stakeholders assisted the candidates in their own way and not through the party.

Therefore, why the governor has continued grunting and groaning over the dead issue left much to be desired since he was yet to account for #1bn campaign grants he collected from the APC National headquarters.
Gentlemen of the press, the question is ' who should now be robed with the garment of dishonesty?'

2]. Deviation From the Party

From the horse's mouth, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq had shot himself in the head about his loyalty and allegiance to APC manifestos when he shredded the document as
"useless" and declared it a mere waste basket material.

This settled the public worries about his lackluster and epileptic administrative style of emotional leadership.

We, by any stress of imagination, are not surprised by the governor's confessional statement on his abandonment of APC party manifesto. This was the same manner he left the party in the lurch in 2019 shortly after becoming the candidate.

After constituting two different committees on his governorship campaign elections - See The Nation, Monday, January 7, 2019, pp.38 & 39. He abandoned the party to financial harmattan, which forced the party to appeal to the Hon. Minister for a bailout that he took with sense of responsibility and diligence.

Therefore, rather than running his mouth against the Hon. Minister, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq holds a debt of gratitude to him, the party leadership and the entire party members for his electoral victory.

3]. Electoral Value

It is laughable that Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq could infer that he had won his ticket and election on his personal and family political profile! This is a lie from the pit of hell.

We need to remind him of history:
a]. Of what political relevance was his father in kwara state? The father contested and lost governorship election in 1979.
b) Didn't his mother also contest and lose councillorhip election in Magaji Ngeri ward of Ilorin.
c).Did his elder brother Alimi not contest for governorship and lost?
d) Didn't his younger brother, Baba Razak contest and lose house of representatives election and lose here in Ilorin?

e). How many times has AA himself attempted to become a Senator or Governor, which turned him to a political harlot?

Governor Abdulrahaman Abdulrazaq's low self esteem and lack of intellectualism
hinders him from flowing with decent and experienced people around him.

The national secretariat of our party should be alerted that Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq is a political liability and that he is dangerously navigating the party back to Egypt instead of the promised land that the O To Ge revolution had in stock for kwarans.

4]. Celebration of Mediocrity

The Governor had contradicted himself on the question of merit in recruiting a few teachers; Why did he fail to apply the same standard in appointing his commissioners that he had publicly admitted to have contained only one "experienced" member?

The Governor has unabashedly castigated himself by giving the statistics of teachers-students absenteeism as 40% - 30%. What is the ratio of his own absenteeism from office? He is the reflection of the teachers and students because of his legendary globetrotting on taxpayers money.

5]. Evidence of Treachery

Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq had exposed himself as a congenital betrayal and pathological pretender when he asserted: "I can sit with you for 10 days, I won't say a word to you. Because of that they underestimate me and my capacity to do anything".
Gentlemen of the press, this statement of his clearly explains the type of character we are dealing with in the state.



We are grateful to Kwarans for their understanding and perseverance. We assure them that there will definitely be light after this unexpected darkness that we find ourselves.

Thank you and God bless.
