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.
