Kwara State Government has accused the state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of mischievously attempting to incite public disaffection against the government.

The government in a statement issued by the Senior Special Assistant to the governor, Muideen Akorede, alleged that the party was inciting the public through disinformation about policies and programmes of the government.

The government described the PDP’s criticism of its policies as “the latest in a futile campaign of fallacy and mischief against a high-performing government.”

“The PDP is either completely out of touch with reality or plainly ignorant of public sector finance. It is obvious to all but the mischievous that Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed has remained high-performing since inception through life-transforming programmes.

“Contrary to the PDP’s ignorant claim that the Kwara State Government has taken out two separate bond issues, the state government actually revised the earlier planned bond value from N30 billion to N23 billion having identified alternative means of funding identified projects internally.

“To educate the PDP, the planned bond will actually reduce government’s expenditure on debt servicing and free up funds for additional life-transforming projects and programmes as existing liabilities are restructured,” it stated.
