Governor AbdulRahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State has commended the people of the state including youths for opting for peace and harmony as the nationwide hunger protests entered the second day on Friday.
The protest has so far been peaceful in the state without any incident recorded.
He specifically commended the people of the state for shunning the temptation to repeat ugly history.
“I am again proud of every Kwaran today. The peace in the state is a true reflection of who we are, and we should continue along that path. This is our state, the only one we have; we should not do anything that may bring violence, hurt one another, or lead to loss of lives and property. We do not need it,” he said.
“I wholeheartedly acknowledge the wisdom of our people, old and young, who have chosen the viable option of positive engagement, safety, peace, and harmony. God bless you all,” the governor who is chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, NGF, stated in a statement by his spokesman, Rafiu Ajakaye, in Ilorin on Friday.
