Kwara ADC's Zakari Mohammed Promises Security Reforms for 2027

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kwara State, represented by its governorship candidate Hon. Zakari Mohammed, has pledged to tackle insecurity and food security if it forms the government in 2027. Speaking in Ilorin, Mohammed outlined plans for intensive intelligence gathering, technology deployment, and enhanced support for conventional security agencies to restore the state’s status as a ‘State of Harmony’.

He highlighted the importance of security for development, warning that rising insecurity could hinder farming and economic growth. Mohammed, who served as a member of the House of Representatives from 2011 to 2019, emphasized the need for a comprehensive development strategy addressing the unique challenges of Kwara's districts.

He identified agriculture as crucial for improving food security and reducing living costs, criticizing the economic policies of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for burdening households. He also called for sustained investment in education and healthcare, urging voters to evaluate candidates based on their capabilities rather than political affiliations.
