Sulaiman Bolakale Kawu, describing his manifesto as a bold, people centred and forward looking blueprint capable of repositioning Kwara State for sustainable development and shared prosperity.
Adigun, in a statement issued by his media aide, Tomi Vincent Fadunmade, noted that the manifesto tagged, ‘My Covenant with Kwara’ transcends conventional political promises by presenting a comprehensive development agenda with clearly defined priorities and ambitious commitments aimed at addressing some of the most pressing challenges confronting the state.
He particularly commended its focus on security, grassroots development, youth employment, agricultural transformation, enterprise financing, education, healthcare and workers’ welfare.
He described the proposed ₦100 billion Security Trust Fund, ₦50 million allocation to each of the state’s 193 wards within the first 100 days, 200,000 annual youth employment opportunities and ₦19.2 billion Agricultural Production Fund as transformative interventions capable of stimulating economic activities, strengthening communities and expanding opportunities across the state.
He also welcomed the proposed financing support for traders, MSMEs and women owned businesses, alongside the commitment to introduce a 13th month salary for civil servants.
According to Dr. Adigun, the strength of the manifesto lies in its recognition that sustainable development must be inclusive, equitable and responsive to the needs of all segments of society.
He expressed confidence that its emphasis on rural development, women’s empowerment, youth advancement and improved public services would provide a strong foundation for a more productive, prosperous and socially inclusive Kwara.
He further described My Covenant with Kwara as a compelling statement of purposeful leadership and a commitment to a new development direction, emphasising that the state’s enormous human and economic potential requires visionary leadership, strategic investments and deliberate policies that translate into tangible improvements in the lives of citizens.
Dr. Adigun expressed optimism about the prospects of the proposed development agenda, describing Engr. Kawu’s vision as a compelling proposition for the future of Kwara State.
He maintained that the state deserves leadership that places the people at the centre of governance and demonstrates the political will, capacity and commitment to translate its promises into measurable development outcomes.
