Let me start this piece with a quote from that great Indian, Mahatma Gandhi
"Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow men"
Turaki of Ilorin, who is also the APC candidate for Kwara Central senatorial district in February 2023 general elections began his campaign tour in Asa Local government last week and rounded it off yesterday at Okesho,Ila-Oja,Odo /Aboto and Afon wards respectively
One of the take-aways was that Saliu Mustapha have seen massive love from the people of 17 wards he had visited. That was not accidental,it was predicated on the lives of people he has touched positively in the journey of his political life.That is the degree he is going based on his magnanimous antecedents in Ilorin Emirate.
It is significant to say the performance of the state Governor Mallam Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq also added significant glamour to the campaign. The presence of Mukhtar Tolani Shagaya the APC candidate for House of Rep, Ilorin West/Asa Federal Constituency equally added colour to the campaign train.Yunus Oniboki of Afon constituency and Rukayat Shittu of Owode Onire constituency can be said to be in the right team as they were parts and parcel of the campaign tour.
In kwara,not only in the Central, what you see in the past was gathering of people from three wards or more merged at a place, but Saliu Mustapha was moving from ward to ward. It wouldn't be an exaggeration, if one says Saliu Mustapha is ahead of his political opponents.
He is doing his things differently.
Essentially, when you have built confidence over time, it usually pays off. During the campaign some demands were made and Saliu Mustapha assured that some of their demands would be met before the general elections while some would come after election due to time constraints as election is around the corner. Do you know why the people requested for such help? The answer is simple, because he does not make promise without fulfilling it .If Turaki of Ilorin promises any person, group or community he would certainly fulfill it, that could be confirmed by 17 boreholes he promised and delivered to the good people of Asa Local government in 2022.
Tomorrow 7th February, God willing Turaki of Ilorin will continue his campaign tour in Ilorin West local government.May the Almighty grant all APC candidates victory at the polls...
