Traditional Ruler Urges Kwara Governor to Fulfil Campaign Pledges and Boost Shao's Infrastructure

Date: 2025-05-20

The Ohoro of Shao, Oba Job Obalowu Atolagbe, a traditional ruler in Moro Local Government Area (LGA), Kwara State, has urged Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to prioritise fulfilling campaign promises and delivering infrastructure to the Shao community.

The monarch made the call during a thanksgiving service held in Shao for the late All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain and elder, Chief Wole Oke. Oba Atolagbe linked the governor's development efforts to honoring Chief Oke's legacy, noting his role as a leader in the Kwara State House of Assembly during Nigeria's Second Republic.

He stated: "Chief Wole Oke was a visionary who challenged political dominance. It is vital to continue his work by bringing progress to this community."

"He was the only force of hope that time.

Oke moved the motion for the establishment of the current Specialist Hospital in Ilorin. Government Day Secondary School, Shao was his handiwork.

"He demonstrated his politicial sagacity and genuine horse trading for Shao to get electricity. The late politician stood solidly behind the current government.

"He was humility personified. I want an establishment of Chief Wole Oke Foundation to sustain his legacies.

My question is who is going to fill the gap.

"The labour of this great hero must not be in vain. "I urge all our politicians to eschew all forms of unhealthy rivalry. Our votes in the community should always be in one place."

AbdulRazaq, who was represented by his Senior Adviser and Counselor Saadu Saalu, described the late Oke as beacon of hope.

Saalu added that "the governor is emotionally touched by the death of the politician who was known to all as a father to the governor.

"For half of a century our late father had a very cordial relationship with the AbdulRazaq's dynasty. Our late father was a role model in Christendom, a detrabilised Nigerian and a distinguished community leader. One whose footprints in human capital and community development were legendary.

"The governor and the entire government and people of the state will miss the late politician. He left at a time when he was mostly needed. It is the governor's that God will stand by the immediate and extended family he left behind."
