The PDP candidate, who also used the event to present his certificate of return to the state chairman of the party, Hon Babatunde Mohammed, said: “The people of the country especially those in the state have seen the deceit of the APC and would not fall into their antics of failed promises in the next elections by supporting all the PDP candidates so as to bring new political order into the governance of the country.”
The programme also featured the presentation of certificates of return to all the party’s House of Assembly candidates, House of Representatives and Senatorial candidates.

He added that, this determination and commitment would also help the PDP to collectively root out the APC across the states and at the federal level come 2023.
“The PDP umbrella will cover Kwara and Nigeria as a whole from the ruining brutality and economic woes the APC foisted on Nigerians come 2023.
“I want us to remain united for the task ahead. This is God’s own project and we believe He has done it for us.
“There’s hunger in the land since the emergence of the APC. It can’t be worse than this and I can assure you our party offers that hope that Nigerians desperately need,” he said.
He said: “We are not unaware of the problem the APC has put on us in Kwara state by the astronomical increased in the debt portfolio with over three hundred percent. Kwara from the least indebted state is now one of the most indebted. This is unacceptable”.
