Kwara PDP Condemns APC's "Thug" Label for Agaka Residents
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State has condemned the characterization of Agaka residents as “thugs and hooligans” following their rejection of a political empowerment initiative. PDP's State Publicity Secretary, Olusegun Olusola Adewara, stated that the residents confronting the All Progressives Congress (APC) were not party members or thugs but concerned citizens rejecting what they viewed as a politically motivated gesture.
Adewara criticized Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq's administration for being “overwhelmed” by public rejection and questioned the timing of the N5,000 distribution to beneficiaries, suggesting that similar initiatives should have occurred earlier. He emphasized that the residents are politically aware and capable of distinguishing between genuine governance and election-season tactics.
The PDP called for the governor to caution his aides against inflammatory remarks and demanded an apology to the people of Agaka and their Mogaji for the derogatory comments.
