Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq said at the weekend that his opponents in the March 9 governorship election were plotting to frustrate his administration.
He urged spiritual leaders to pray for the success of his government.
The governor spoke at Igbaja in Ifelodun Local Government Area of the state at the 55th graduation of ECWA Theological Seminary.
Represented by his deputy, Kayode Alabi, the governor said: “I urge you all to pray for our government. Those we defeated at the polls are
around and they will not want us to succeed. Kwara has suffered a lot.
“The state suffered for over 40 years in the hands of one family, yet there are many families in the state.
“They still want to come back as they believe the state belongs them. I always tell people that we did not win the election; God won the election for us. We did not have the huge amount they spent on the election day.”
He urged institutions of higher learning in the country to instill discipline in their students to ensure an egalitarian society.
