• Says PDP a group of hypocritical alarmists

Kwara State All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended the state government for the palliatives and other support it has extended to different vulnerable communities, artisans, and security agencies to ease the inconveniences of the naira redesign and fuel scarcity in the country.

The APC, in a statement by its state publicity secretary Alhaji Tajudeen Folaranmi Aro, said it was hypocritical of the PDP whose members and leaders had initially said the government was not doing anything for the people on the crisis.

The APC spokesman said many states in the country have similarly reached out to the people to support them at this time.

“We urge the state government to ignore the lousy characters in the PDP and their online choristers who think that everything boils down to petty politics,” he said.

“Indeed, the government has since the wake of the naira and fuel crises announced this support for the people. It is indeed kind of the government to include security agencies in this support because we are all in this together. It is especially mischievous for the opposition party to pick on the security agencies whose men are also members of the society and are deserving of whatever support anyone, including government, can offer.

“We make bold to say that Kwara State Social Investment Programmes has been supporting people at difficult times for more than two years. It has in the past supported artisans, widows, farmers, teachers, and security agencies in the past years. It was established in 2019. This initiative indeed supported thousands of Kwarans during Covid-19 pandemic, ENDSARS crisis, and other tough moments. Every sector has received different support from this agency of government. And what is the duty of a government if not to support its people through testing times? The PDP and its choristers on social media are a band of shameless kill-joys and nihilists who do not mean well for the people. KWASSIP is meant to support people, including through difficult moments, and no amount of PDP’s red-herrings can take away the fact this administration is led by a Governor well-raised with milk of kindness and he has shown this again and again in his relationship with the people of the state.”
