By Saka Laaro, Ilorin
Kwara State Governor, Abdulrahaman AbdulRazak yesterday cautioned against disparaging of the person of President Muhammed Buhari for no just cause.
He said that, President Buhari as the leader of the country deserves some respect and not denigration, especially in the light of his prudent management of resources and commitment to the welfare of the poor.
Governor AbdulRasaq added that, the President has done exceedingly well in the area of infrastructure.
The governor said this in Ilorin, Kwara state capital, at the distribution of Ramadan gift, tagged ‘Baba for all’ to the vulnerable, physically challenged, widows and less privileged accros the 16 local government area of the state.
Mallam AbdulRazak said, “most of the All Progressive Congress (APC) governors rode on Buhari’s back to power. Even though we have our own ‘otoge’ in Kwara but he led the party amiably. So we are not going to sit and have people needlessly denigtade the leader of the country for no just reason. The man has been working.
“He has done exceedingly well and because he would not talk, the opposition is taking advantage of that to pull him and the country down. No, no Patriot should allow that.
When there was a lot of money in the country, it was mismanaged. But when Baba came in, the money has dwindled. There is no money today but President Buhari has been able to manage that and he has been an effective manager of resources. What he has been doing is to manage the situation.
“The effect of COVID-19 has hit had on global economy, not just Nigeria. It hit Nigeria very hard as the vast majority of us earn our wages daily. So the shutdown affected is more.
“No matter what they say about Baba Buhari, nobody has accused him of embezzinglng money. That is where it start from. The man is prudent and diligent. He is making sure that things are done right in every section.”
Earlier, the State Chairman of the distribution of Tamara rice, Alhaji Jani Ibrahim said, no fewer than 25,000 people would benefit from the programme.
He urged well-to-do in the society to lend a helping hand to the less priviledged around them.
