Kwara: Anger, Losses Follow Postponement Of Election

Date: 2019-02-17

Political actors and residents of Kwara state have expressed divergent views following the reported postponement of the general elections scheduled for Saturday.

Despite the knowledge of the postponement, residents remained indoor, while business and social activities were grounded as few vehicles were on the road.

The people said that the development had disrupted their plans and activities for the next few weeks, lamenting social and business losses.

However, many people said that the electoral body did well to postpone the election, adding that it could have been disastrous going ahead with the election without adequate preparation.

Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara state has urged its supporters to remain steadfast and resolute to vote for all APC candidates next week, following the reported postponement of the general elections.

In his reaction to the postponement in Ilorin on Saturday, the state chairman of the party, Alhaji Bolarinwa Bashir, urged all APC members to resume campaign activities in earnest.

"The action, though painful as people are eager to put a stop to the incumbent government that has over the years ravaged the economy of the state.

The state chairman, Alhaji Bashir Omolaja Bolarinwa acknowledged individuals and groups efforts towards the desired change by the mass mobilization they have done like never before.

Also, campaign organization of the APC governorship candidate in the state, the Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq campaign organisation (AACO) has described the one-week postponement of the general elections as nothing but a one week grace to end incumbent government.

In a release signed by its Director of Media and Publicity, Abdulrasheed Akogun, the organization charged members of the APC to utilise the one week grace to further preach the liberation struggle towards ensuring a wider margin in the election.

"It is with rude shock we woke up to the election postponement news, which started as a rumour late yesterday. We must say this is a minor setback, as Kwarans across the nooks and crannies of the State were eagerly and anxiously waiting to celebrate victory over PDP.

"While we still await the comprehensive rationale behind the unexpected postponement, we enjoin Kwarans to neither be deterred nor disinterested, rather this one-week postponement should further enliven us"
