Kwara State governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has congratulated Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo over his victory in the just-concluded presidential election in the country, describing it as commensurate with his giant strides in the past four years.
“The Governor believes that the victory is well-earned by His Excellency Nana Akufo-Addo on account of his sterling performance across sectors. The votes cast for Mr. President were indeed a reflection of what the people think of his stewardship,” AbdulRazaq said in a statement in Ilorin, the state capital, by his chief press secretary Rafiu Ajakaye.
The Governor also commended the people of Ghana for another successful democratic transition. According to him, the tight race between the President and his predecessor, John Draman, is a testament to how robust the country’s democracy is becoming. While commending him for his hospitable dispositions, Governor AbdulRazaq urges the president-elect to continue to keep a strong, healthy and people-centred relationship with Nigeria and other neighbouring countries for increased trade, better growth, and sustainable development.
