The Kwara State Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed, has dispelled rumours of a rift between his predecessor, Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki, and himself, as a lie propagated by the opposition in a futile attempt to cause disaffection between the two ahead of the 2015 governoship elections in the state.

The governor, who is presently in Saudi Arabia on Umrah, in a  statement issued in Ilorin by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communications, Dr. Muideen Akorede, stressed that the relationship between himself and Saraki, rather than wane, remains cordial and strong, based on an historical association and a shared vision of a prosperous Kwara State, dismissing the speculated dispute as a figment of the opposition’s imagination.

“Ours is a unique partnership based on mutual respect, which grows stronger daily due to our long history and standing commitment to making Kwara a model for other states in terms of economic growth and prosperity for the people. We are like a tag-team in which we are pooling our strengths together in a determined effort to build a greater Kwara for the benefit of prosperity,” he said.
