I didn’t submit any aspirant’s name to Tinubu – Gov. AbdulRazaq

By Demola Akinyemi

Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State has denied claims that he has submitted the name of a particular aspirant as the next governor to President Bola Tinubu.

The governor, who described the reports milling around as false, malicious and designed to blackmail him, admonished the rumour mongers to dissipate the same energies on selling themselves to all relevant stakeholders.

He also urged leaders of the party in the state and other stakeholders to ignore the claims.

This is contained in a press statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media, Bashir Adigun.

The statement reads: “Reports that the name of any particular aspirant has been submitted to the President as the candidate for Kwara State Governor are false, malicious, and designed to blackmail Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.”

“We reject the blackmail outright. It is false to suggest that the Governor has submitted the name of any aspirant. Members and leaders of our party should ignore it,” Adigun added.

“We urge party members and stakeholders to ignore the claims. All aspirants are encouraged to sell their legitimate aspirations to all relevant stakeholders.

“The time, energy, and resources being spent to blackmail others can be put to something better,” the statement concluded.
