"We at the Federal level are proud of the excellent work which your Governor, Dr. Bukola is doing to transform Kwara State and bring development to the people". Yar’Adua told the score of people who trooped out enmass to give him a rousing welcome to the State.

The elated host Governor, Dr. Saraki, who was short of words, could not say anything than to thank President Yar’Adua for his commitment and moral support, which he said, had seen his administration through all the laudable projects embarked upon to bring development to the people.

He congratulated the President for seeing to the completion and commissioning of Ganmo power project which has considerably improved power supply in the State and other neighbouring States.

He, however, reiterated the commitment of his administration to continue to align with the policies and programmes of the Federal Government under the administration of President Umaru Yar’Adua, in the task of making Nigeria one of the world’s largest economies by the year 2020.
