HUNGER PROTESTS: GOV ABDULRAZAQ COMMENDS KWARANS FOR CHOOSING PEACE
Kwara State Governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq has commended the people of the state—including young people—for opting for peace and harmony.
He specifically commended the people of the state for shunning the temptation to repeat ugly history.
“I am again proud of every Kwaran today. The peace in the state is a true reflection of who we are, and we should continue along that path.
“This is our state, the only one we have; we should not do anything that may bring violence, hurt one another, or lead to the loss of lives and properties. We do not need it,” he said.
“I wholeheartedly acknowledge the wisdom of our people, old and young, who have chosen the viable option of positive engagement, safety, peace, and harmony. God bless you all.”.
It was gathered that residents of the state resumed normal socio-economic activities on Friday, as opposed to what happened on Thursday when people stayed indoors or opened business centres late in the day.
