Governor
Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara State has expressed confidence that the Peoples
Democratic Party will sweep the polls in the state in 2019 given the calibre of
the members of the State Working Committee of the party.
Ahmed said
this at Government House, Ilorin, on Monday when he received members of the
newly inaugurated committee in his office.
“With the
timbre and calibre of the people that make up the party executive, the victory
of the party is guaranteed in 2019 elections.”
Ahmed, who
saluted the maturity displayed in handling the harmonisation process, tasked
the new executive to work hard in ensuring the entrenchment of good governance
in the state.
He added
that peaceful atmosphere that greeted the harmonisation process further
confirmed the politics of all-inclusiveness the party structure was known for.
The governor
allayed the fears of all members that no one would be marginalized.
He also
enjoined all members to close ranks and cooperate in ensuring that the PDP win
the next election in the state.
Earlier, in
his remarks, the party Chairman, Chief Kola Shittu, told the governor that the
purpose of the visit was to familiarize themselves with the governor as the
party leader in the state.
He explained
that the new executive had continued to work assiduously in the harmonisation
of members since its inauguration, saying that all groups were duly carried
along.
Shittu used
the opportunity to urge other members yet to join the party to come forward,
assuring them that no one would be marginalised.
