EKO HOT BLOG reports that Yaman Shuaib Abdullahi, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) gubernatorial candidate in Kwara State, officially introduced his running mate, Gbenga Peter Makanjuola, for next year’s general elections in the state on Saturday.

Yaman, who unveiled the candidate at the party’s secretariat in Ilorin, the state capital, described Kwara as one of the country’s most indebted states, owing over N140 billion in loans.

He promised to create an all-inclusive administration in which everyone is involved in the state’s governance.

When elected as the state’s next governor next year, Yaman promised to change the narrative.

Yaman, who praised the national leader of the party, Dr Bukola Saraki for giving a positive leadership in the state, assured that the party will take over the reins of government in 2023 with the Government House as the next destination.

In his acceptance speech, Gbenga Makanjuola, thanked Yaman for the confidence reposed in him among the multitude of qualified party members and promised to justify it by working in harmony with the governorship candidate.

“I accept the opportunity offered me to work with you. We shall work together in harmony,” describing his choice as designed by God.

Gbenga called for the cooperation of party members in the state to ensure the victory of the party in the state in 2023.

Earlier, the state Chairman of the party, Alhaji Babatunde Mohammed, who presented the certificates of return to both the governorship candidate and his running mate, said primary elections of the party were held without rancour or crisis.
