Yesterday, on behalf of His Excellency, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq CON, and the entire Kwara State Government, I led a high-powered delegation of the Kwara State Government to Edu Local Government Area to commiserate with our people over the recent attacks by criminal elements that have left several communities in mourning.
I extended our heartfelt condolences to the affected families and communities in Kpandaragi, Bokungi, Guye Dadi, and others. We also paid royal homage to His Royal Highness Alhaji Abdullah Kpotwa Aliyu, Etsu Tsaragi, and His Royal Highness Alhaji Muhammad Kawu Kudu, the Emir of Lafiagi, to express our solidarity and empathy during this painful time.
Our government will not rest until those behind these heinous attacks are completely crushed and peace is fully restored. We remain committed to strengthening the security architecture of our state and leaving no community behind in the effort to protect lives and property.
Governor Abdulrazaq continues to demonstrate decisive leadership in the face of these challenges. Just recently, on Sunday, he met with key stakeholders and reaffirmed the deployment of troops, including the Nigerian Army and forest guards, to comb our forests and communities, and dislodge all criminal elements.
We urge all residents to remain vigilant, cooperate with security agencies, and report any suspicious activity. Security is a collective responsibility, and every piece of information could make a difference.
I thank my colleagues in the House, local government chairmen, commissioners and other officials who joined me on this visit. Our unity is our strength, and together we will rise above these challenges.
May peace return swiftly and fully to Edu and every part of our beloved state.
