The All Progressives Congress, APC, on Thursday said the certificate forgery allegation against the governor-elect of the state, Alhaji Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq was laughable. The party in a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu also said the allegation was politically motivated.

“Our attention has been drawn to the politically sponsored allegation against the APC Kwara governor-elect, Alhaji Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, that he forged the SSSC he presented for election. 

 

“We understand the desperation of the sponsors of this campaign of calumny to get power through the back door after the crushing defeat they suffered from Kwara electorate in the last general elections.


“While it is the right of the rejected opposition and their proxies to approach the election tribunal relying on their flimsy and false claims, we assure Kwarans that it is an exercise in futility,” he added.


He assured party supporters in the state that the allegation would certainly come to naught, adding that challenging the popular mandate given to Abdulrazaq amounted to mere shadow boxing. He noted that the outcome of the elections in Kwara was an expression of a collective resolve of Kwara electorate for a new progressive order that had long eluded the state.


Vigil360 had reported that the governor-elect was alleged to have forged the SSSC he presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the state’s gubernatorial election.
