The All Progressives Congress (APC), has said the certificate of Kwara State governor-elect, Alhaji Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq,
is not forged.
Mr. Lanre Issah-Onilu, in a statement made available to the media, said: “Our attention has been drawn to the politically-sponsored and laughable allegation against the All Progressives Congress (APC) Kwara State governor-elect, Abdulrazaq that he forged the Senior Secondary School Certificate he presented for election.
“We understand the desperation of the sponsors of this campaign of calumny to get power through the backdoor after the crushing defeat they suffered from the Kwara electorate in the just concluded general elections in the state.
He said: “While it is the right of the rejected opposition and their proxies to approach the election tribunal relying on their flimsy and false claims, we assure Kwarans that it is an exercise in futility and will surely come to nought.”
Challenging the mandate given to Abdulrazaq, according to the Spokesperson, amounts to mere shadow boxing, adding that the outcome of the elections in Kwara is an expression of collective resolve of Kwara electorate for a new progressive order that has long eluded the state.
“Our party affirms its confidence in our governor-elect and equally affirm that all documents he submitted are authentic. We urge our members in Kwara State to exercise no doubt at all. They should rather gear up for the task of setting our dear state on a path to progress under the capable hands of Abdulrasaq.”
