The Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Engr. Yakubu Danladi-Salihu, has extended his congratulations to the newly elected 16 Local Government Chairmen and 193 Councillors across the state following the successful conclusion of the Local Government elections.

In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Sheu Abdulkadir Yusuf, Danladi-Salihu hailed the election results as a reflection of the widespread support for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) under the leadership of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.

“The victory is a testament to the general acceptance of the APC by the people under Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s leadership,” Danladi-Salihu said.

He also commended the Kwara State Independent Electoral Commission (KWASIEC), security agencies, journalists, and voters for their roles in ensuring a peaceful and credible election process.

The Speaker urged the newly elected officials to immediately begin working to deliver the dividends of democracy to the grassroots, noting that they must live up to the expectations of the electorate and support the ongoing developmental efforts of Governor AbdulRazaq’s administration.
