The newly inaugurated President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State have been charged to hit the ground running, especially in critical sectors, by turning around the Nation and Kwara state for the good of the citizenry.
The charge was given on Monday by the Executive Secretary,
ECWA Fate Tanke District Church Council, Ilorin, Reverend Joseph, in a statement tagged “My advice to the Peoples’ Governor” released in Ilorin, the state capital.
Reverend Agboluaje enjoined the new governments at the federal and state levels to put the right peg in the right hole for efficiency and effectiveness.
The Cleric admonished quick actions in the areas of economy, security, fuel subsidy and other critical sectors towards tackling inflation and other various challenges confronting the Nation.
The Executive Secretary, who congratulated the newly elected leaders, specifically called on Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to take workers’ welfare with more vibrant interest, since they are the engine room of the success of any government.
According to him, “infrastructural development and innovation should be prioritised in all the nooks and crannies of Kwara State,” adding that Federal/State appointments should be spread across the three Senatorial Districts of the State to ensure justice, fairness and equity.
“On Religion, the Governor, (as father of all) must strike the balance between the two major religions. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, as the adage goes” he advised.
Reverend Agboluaje stressed the need to accord Traditional institutions the importance and respect since they are there to preserve the tradition and customs of the people.
The Governor, he urged, must be more focused as some people around him may inadvertently serve as detractors “since Kwara State has been making progress since this God-sent Governor took over the affairs of the State”.
“One can count his achievements in infrastructural development, prompt payment of workers’ salaries and pensioners, fairness in the appointment and a smooth relationship between the three tiers of Government. But, Mr Governor, hear this, the challenge ahead may be more than the challenge behind he opined.
He said: “From history, I understand that only a few governors performed well in their second tenures, for the reason I may not be able to fetch out, readily. Probably, since no third term is permissible. But Sir, for you to write your name with gold, changing the narrative is necessary.”
