Stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Baruten Local Government of Kwara State have commended the party’s leadership and the state party executive for zoning the 2023 governorship slot to Kwara North.
Leaders of the party in the council area in a statement signed by Alhaji Sabi Boriya, Adamu Usman, Hashim Mora and Idris Garba
applauded the decision of former Senate President, Abubakar Bukola Saraki and all Kwara State stakeholders for zoning the governorship ticket to Kwara North.
“It is the right decision taken at the right time and it will further strengthen the relationship between Kwara North and other senatorial districts.
“It would be recalled that the agitation for power shift has been on since 2011 after the completion of Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki’s tenure, but as God would have it, we were unable to clinch the ticket until now and it is an indication that PDP is going for victory come 2023.
“We believe that our good brothers and sisters from Kwara South and Kwara Central are going to reciprocate the support and love we have been offering to them in 2023 because it is going to be a collective agenda as Kwara North cannot do it alone.
“We also appreciate Kwara North stakeholders for being focused and committed in spite of every divisive tendencies and challenges.
“We have the belief that we shall remain united in the pursuit of the power rotation agenda and beyond, to coast our great party to victory come 2023.
“Baruten Local Government PDP stakeholders are assuring Kwarans of our total support for this agenda and we shall intensify every measure to sensitize our people at the grassroots on the importance of having the Kwara State governor from Kwara North to mitigate the infrastructural deficit of the zone,” the stakeholders stated.
