AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq's N1B Zakat Claim Before Governorship

Prince Abubakar Suleiman, the Special Adviser on Political Matters to Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, asserted that AbdulRazaq distributed over N1 billion annually as Zakat to indigent residents and other beneficiaries across Kwara State prior to his governorship, which began in 2019. This statement was made in response to Senator Saliu Mustapha (Kwara Central)'s challenge for evidence of AbdulRazaq's societal contributions before his election.

Suleiman detailed that the Zakat funds included N200 million for educational support and were allocated to various humanitarian efforts. He claimed that AbdulRazaq sponsored numerous students from primary to tertiary education, including those pursuing doctoral degrees.

Suleiman also criticized Senator Mustapha, claiming he facilitated Mustapha's emergence as a senator in 2023 and hinted at revealing more details about Mustapha's political journey as the 2027 elections approach.
