Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has inaugurated the state coordinating office of the Renewed Hope Youth Engagement (RHYE) ahead of 2027 general election.
He advised members of the group to engage the people meaningfully to win their hearts in favour of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at the polls.
‘As we look towards the 2027 general election our political objective is clear: to present our records communicate our vision strengthen our grassroots structures and work towards securing the support of the people for the APC across Kwara State’ the governor told the large gathering of supporters at the open field of George Innih Stadium Ilorin.
‘Our aspiration is to see Kwara record overwhelming votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and secure strong electoral support for all APC candidates from the National Assembly to the House of Assembly and other elective positions.’
The governor was represented by his deputy Mr Kayode Alabi.
AbdulRazaq said for them to deliver at the polls party faithful must unite engage and communicate APC programmes with the people at the grassroots and listen to their concerns.
He acknowledged that the youth are energetic creative and determined to build stronger communities and expand opportunities for their fellow residents a reason why he said the administration prioritises youth inclusion.
‘I therefore charge RHYE to take its activities to every local government area ward and community across Kwara. Engage our young people encourage informed participation promote peaceful political engagement and ensure our message reaches the people through credible and responsible means’ the governor said.
Kwara State governor’s wife Mrs Olufolake AbdulRazaq; wife of the Speaker of Kwara State House of Assembly and APC governorship candidate Hajiya Sa’adat Yakubu Danladi; top government officials; APC chieftains candidates and support groups attended the event.
Mrs AbdulRazaq enjoined members to be committed to their engagement with people and sensitise them on why APC deserves their votes.
State APC Chairman Prince Sunday Fagbemi expressed confidence in the party’s chances of winning the 2027 general election declaring that APC is prepared to secure victories across elective positions.
Fagbemi said Kwara like before would deliver for President Tinubu and dismissed the purported influence the opposition Rainbow Coalition could make in Kwara politics urging party members and the electorate to remain committed to APC’s political direction.
National Coordinator for RHYE Abdulazeez Kaka said he was happy with the large turnout of party faithful and was confident that Kwara APC would translate such to electoral victory.
He hailed the governor for his excellent performance in the state which he said had made the jobs easier for the APC campaign teams.
