Amb. Mukhtar commended his colleagues for changing the usual perception of youth participation in politics by staying away from violence.
“We commend our colleagues, the youth of Kwara APC, for changing the narrative about youth participation in politics, by shunning acts of violence and refusing to make themselves tools in the hands of vested interests.
He stated that what the State of harmony needs now is an opposition with a united front that is prepared to take on the challenge of defeating the incumbent, not a house that is divided against itself.
“If anybody has genuine grounds for dissatisfaction with the whole process, they would have been better served in exploring the parry mechanisms for resolving such and quickly close ranks to give the party a fighting chance in the general elections.
Akoshile congratulated the legitimate winner, saying: “as reflected in the votes of the members of Kwara APC, Alh Abdurahman Abdulrazak and urge him to reach out to genuine members of the party to present a united house to the people of Kwara during the general elections.”
