Kwara State Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed has identified disconnect bet-ween successive administrations as the bane of the country’s development and called for a reversal of the old order if Nigeria must progress.

Receiving the out-going members of the State House of Assembly led by the Speaker, Alhaji Babatunde Mohammed on a farewell visit, Ahmed, who ascribed the low pace of development to lack of a good linkage system between one administration and the other, said continuity was the only panacea to good governance and development.

Kwara State, he noted, is a case study for smooth transition from one administration to the other. “As a major player in the last administration, I’m morally and logically bond to complete and continue the novel programme of the administration”. Ahmed assured the legislature that his administration would be accountable to the people of the State who voted him in as their governor.

“Our intention is to carry all the programmes of my predecessor, Dr Bukola Saraki to the next level so that Kwarans can fully reap the fruits of democracy”, the governor said. He observed that resources are scarce at all levels of government, hence the need for optimum allocation to achieve the desired result.

According to him, there were quite a lot of wastages which he said must be curbed if we must progress as a nation, promising that his priority now is to complete all on-going projects embarked upon by his predecessor between now and end of the year.

Ahmed disclosed further that machinery had been set in motion to showcase his administration’s programmes for the first 100 days in office, pointing out that it will reflect the yearnings and aspiration of the people of the State.

He also hinted that the programmes of action of his first 100 days in office have been articulated and would be prioritized based on resources available in the State
