TRACKING_____Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, yesterday led a marathon anti-corruption walk across downtown Ilorin, with calls on Nigerians, especially young people, to shun graft or activities capable of stunting development. Tagged: ‘Nigerian Youths Walk Against Corruption’, AbdulRazaq was joined in the over two-hour walk by the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Yakubu Danladi; zonal head of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Isyaku Sharu. Others were the state’s Coordinator of the National Youths Service Corps (NYSC), Esther Ikupolati; members of the state’s House of Assembly; hundreds of members of the NYSC; artisans; and civil society organisations.
The message is very clear: kill corruption or it will kill us all. “We have to do the right thing and be cautious. We have seen what has happened to those that have been in (this) position before us. Nobody wants to live office and be going to EFCC’s office daily. So, we will do the right thing in Kwara State. “We appreciate the EFCC, they had earlier given us over N100 million.
“We remain popular with the people because we have invested and are still investing in projects that really make the difference in their lives. We have restored water after many years. We have invested in basic health care, education, and road and people can tell the difference,” he said.
