Kwara Gubernatorial Candidate Challenges Governor to Live Radio, Television Chat

Strategic Insights -

Alhaji Abdullahi Shuaibu Yaman, the Gubernatorial Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kwara State, has called out Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazak to engage in live Radio and Television broadcasts, rather than making allegations through guided chats on local radio stations. Yaman argues that the Governor's approach is a waste of state resources and prevents genuine interaction with the people.

He also raised concerns about the state's debt servicing, which has increased from N610 million to N1.3 billion.
