Ex-Kwara Governor’s Aide Receives Heroes Welcome

Mallam Abdullahi Danbaba, a former aide to the Kwara State Governor Abdullahi Ahmed, who resigned his appointment to remain in All Progressives Congress (APC) has been given an heroic welcome him to the party.

A mammoth crowd trooped out on Thursday in Kaiama, Kaiama local government area of Kwara to receive Danbaba who snubbed the governor’s defection to Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Danbaba was joined by supports and residents of his community to chanting anti-People Democratic Party’s (PDP) and anti-Saraki slogans.

The resident of the community lamented how they have suffered neglect from the present governor in the state.

Alhaji Ahmed Usman, the chairman, Kaiama Development Association explained that the community had been die hard loyalists of Saraki dynasty without any development.

“We have suffered a lot. We were being pushed to wall in time of infrastructure. That is why the people of Kaiama are saying enough is enough.

“For more than 30 years now, late father of Bukola Saraki, Olusola Saraki would come here and campaign that if we vote for him, he would do Kishi-Kaiama road.

“So Bukola spent eight years without doing the road, Bukola Saraki brought Abdulfatah and this is all most his eight years, the road is yet to be done”, he said.

Usman added that there could not be any development without road particularly that Kaiama was the food basket of the North-West, South-West and North-Central in term of yam, yam flour, maize, guinea corn and soya beans among others.

A youth, Abubakar Kakagida, said that the people were so patient to have followed Saraki this far.

“We the community are the one that called him to resign and come to back to the APC because we could not achieve our aspiration on Saraki’s platform.

Meanwhile, Danbaba expressed delight over the warm and heroic reception, saying his resignation had been justified by the turn out of the people.
