The spate of insecurity in Kwara State has escalated in recent times, as kidnapping , armed robbery, cultistism become a norm in the State.
Following this scary situation, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Kwara State, has charged Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to wake up to his responsibility of protecting lives and property of the people of the State as the Chief Security Officer.
In a statement issued by its State Publicity Secretary, Tunde Ashaolu, in the wake of recent security challenges plaguing the state, especially kidnappings and scourge of cultism across various educational institutions in the State, it expressed its
displeasure at what it described as the “utter lackadaisical countenance of the Governor to the numerous security issues in the State.”
The PDP urged the Governor to take precautionary measures in addressing the issues before it further escalates.
It added that criminal elements including kidnappers, armed robbers, ritual killers and cultists now operate unhindered in different parts of the State, causing untold havoc and destroying lives.
The PDP also noted that security of lives and property remains the critical responsibility of a Government but it is unfortunate and painful that innocent Kwarans are daily becoming victims of the failure of the Government in this regard.
It, therefore, called on Governor Abdulrazaq to wake up to his responsibility and save Kwarans.
