Don’t set traps for your successor, Kwara gov told

Kwara Coalition for Good Governance and Accountability has called on Governor Abdulfattah Ahmed to be a statesman and avoid setting traps for his successor’s administration.

The coalition, in a statement yesterday by his secretary-general, Hassan Omoiya, said: “We have it on good record that the PDP government plans to create local Council Development Areas and negotiate the new minimum wage even though it really doesn’t pay the current one faithfully.

“We hope this is not true because that will be in bad faith since its term expires in about two months. It will be unfair to create crisis of confidence between the new government and the people or the workers. We hope Governor Ahmed will, for once, act like a statesman that the office of Governor has bestowed upon him.”

“Finally, we urge everyone to note that while the incoming administration has a burden to fix Kwara State almost from the scratch, its works can be made easier if everyone keys into this patriotic agenda, including blowing the whistle on those allegedly stealing public funds or properties.”

The coalition warned officials of the outgoing government to refrain from lastminute stealing of public funds or government property.

It also asked the incoming administration not to witch hunt anybody but should ensure nobody gets away with mindless stealing of public funds and property.
