'Offa People Are Victims of Tyrants' - Minister
People of Offa in Offa Local Government Area of Kwara State have been victims of tyrants in the last 15 years, Minister of National Planning and Deputy Chairman, National Planning Commission, Dr. Abubakar Sulaiman has said.
He decried what he called "underdevelopment" in the community even as he lamented the state of Offa-Ajasse-Ipo road.
The minister spoke when he visited the Olofa's palace during his tour of Kwara-South, organised by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
"Offa has been victim of tyrants in the past 15 years. The area has not witnessed any form of development," he said.
He urged people of the area, "to key into the ruling PDP and the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan to be free from bondage, injustice, unfair treatment and lopsided development."
The minister said, "The PDP of today stands for justice, fairness and development. We believe in our search for liberation for the people of Kwara State. We must start from Offa. Offa is assumed as the stronghold of opposition in Kwara south, they are not just in the opposition for nothing, they are known to be progressives because they don't condone injustice and tyranny."
He assured that the town will witness developmental projects that would be captured in the 2015 budget.
