Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has come under fire for a statement made in a viral video where he promised to deliver electoral victory for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) during an election council gathering. His comments have sparked significant criticism as many view them as tone-deaf given the escalating insecurity plaguing parts of Kwara State, which raises concerns about governance and political priorities during turbulent times.

During the addressed meeting, AbdulRazaq assured party members and leadership that efforts would be made to collaborate with local stakeholders to ensure APC's success in the FCT council elections. He expressed his belief that the residents of Abuja would rally behind the APC, positioning the party as a crucial player for Nigeria's future development, despite the apparent disconnect with pressing local issues such as insecurity that affect his constituents.

The controversy surrounding the governor's remarks highlights the political tensions and the urgent call for accountability among leaders in Nigeria, particularly as elections approach. Critics emphasize that promises of electoral victories should not overshadow the immediate needs of citizens facing challenges such as safety and security, implying that the focus should remain on addressing these local concerns rather than distant political ambitions.
