A Word of Advice to Governor Abdulrasaq

A Word of Advice to Governor Abdulrasaq

Governor, it’s not about who gets the credit, it’s about the people of Kwara State. Your leadership style is being watched, and it’s crucial to recognize the value of teamwork and transparency.

Engage with your appointees, listen to their counsel, and involve the people in decision-making. The projects you undertake should be for the greater good, not just personal gain.

Remember, governance is a collective responsibility, not a one-man show. Open up, be more inclusive, and prioritize the people’s needs. The legacy you build will be measured by the positive impact you create, not just your tenure.

To the people of Kwara, keep speaking up, stay informed, and hold your leaders accountable.

Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq Running Kwara Like a Sole Administrator

Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq Running Kwara Like a Sole Administrator

Kwara State’s governance has raised eyebrows, with concerns about the concentration of power and lack of transparency. Since assuming office, Governor Abdulrasaq has been running the state seemingly on his own, with limited input from his appointees and stakeholders.

Executive meetings are scarce, and Special Advisers (SAs), Personal Assistors (PAs), and Commissioners often struggle to get direct access to the governor, except during political outings. This has led to concerns that the governor is prioritizing projects that serve his personal interests over those that benefit the people.

Critics argue that Governor Abdulrasaq’s leadership style is opaque, with decisions made without adequate consultation or consideration for their impact on the people. The lack of transparency has fueled speculation about the governor’s priorities and whether they align with the needs of Kwara State residents.

The situation has sparked debate about the effectiveness of the current governance structure in Kwara State, with some questioning whether the governor’s approach is conducive to sustainable development and progress.
