Hon. Aladi’s Constituency Advocacy Pays Off as Governor AbdulRazaq Approves Community Requests for 13 Boreholes in Ilorin South
By Kwara Media Strategy Team
The sustained constituency engagement and advocacy efforts of the Deputy Chief Whip of the Kwara State House of Assembly and Member representing Ilorin South Constituency, Hon. Maryam Yusuf Aladi, have recorded another development following the approval of 13 motorised boreholes by the Executive Governor of Kwara State, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, CON, for communities across the constituency.
The approval followed requests submitted by various communities through the constituency office of Hon. Aladi, highlighting the water challenges confronting residents and the urgent need for improved access to clean and safe drinking water.
The intervention is expected to address water shortages in the benefiting communities, ease the burden of sourcing potable water and contribute to improved sanitation, hygiene and public health.
Reacting to the development, Hon. Maryam Yusuf Aladi expressed profound appreciation to Governor AbdulRazaq for responding to the requests presented on behalf of her constituents.
She described the approval as a reflection of the state government's attention to grassroots infrastructure and its commitment to addressing the basic needs of communities across Kwara State.
According to the lawmaker, the development further underscores the importance of sustained engagement between elected representatives, community stakeholders and the executive arm of government in identifying and addressing pressing developmental needs.
Meanwhile, residents of the benefiting communities have welcomed the approval, expressing appreciation to Governor AbdulRazaq and Hon. Aladi for facilitating the intervention.
They expressed optimism that the construction of the boreholes would bring relief to households that have endured difficulties accessing potable water, while reducing dependence on unreliable water sources.
The 13 beneficiary communities and their respective wards are:

She assured constituents that her office would continue to engage relevant government agencies and stakeholders to facilitate infrastructure and other development initiatives capable of improving the living conditions of residents.
The approval of the 13 motorised boreholes represents another step towards addressing water accessibility challenges in Ilorin South, with the benefiting communities now looking forward to the commencement and eventual completion of the projects.

BREAKING: Oro Women Sweep Out Saraki and Entourage, Declare "Oro is APC, APC is Oro"
Oro stood still on Monday as market women, community leaders and party faithful staged a symbolic road sweeping to reject the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) moments after former Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, left the town.
Saraki, who is on a campaign tour of Kwara South, had earlier held a meeting with PDP stakeholders and some town unions including the Oro Descendants Union, CAN, League of Imams, NURTW and Okada Riders Association.
But what followed his exit shocked observers.
In a scene reminiscent of the 2019 _O to Ge_ movement, hundreds of women poured into the streets with brooms, sweeping the roads his convoy had passed and chanting, "Oro has moved on, we will never go back to Egypt. Oro is APC and APC is Oro."
The women said the symbolic sweeping was to cleanse the town of bad governance and deceptive promises.
Speaking on behalf of the protesters, Mrs. Tawakalit Sulyman said Oro has no reason to return to the Saraki political dynasty.
"What is Saraki coming to tell us? After 16 years of controlling Kwara, Oro has nothing to show for it. No single landmark project. We cannot be deceived again," she lamented.
She accused the Saraki administration of deliberately stunting the growth of Kwara State College of Education, Oro, through baseless reforms that drastically affected its NCE programme, and of diverting the proposed Kwara State University, which was recommended for Oro by the Prof. Shehu Jimoh Committee, to Molete.
"Today, under Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, that same College is witnessing a turnaround with new infrastructure and federal interventions. Salaries are now regular, unlike under Saraki when workers suffered," she stated, adding that "Oro and the entire Irepodun will vote massively for APC."
Corroborating her, the APC Chairman, Oro Ward 1, Chief Gani Alawode, said the people of Oro have chosen progress over empty promises.
In his address delivered in Yoruba, Chief Alawode listed the achievements of Governor AbdulRazaq in Oro as proof that the community is better off with the present administration.
He cited the upgrade of the Oloro of Oro to a First-Class Monarch, a promise Saraki failed to fulfill for years; the total renovation of Oro General Hospital; the remodeling of Oro Grammar School; and the tarring of the 40-year-old NITEL/Okerimi - Oro Junction road.
"Saraki promised us First-Class status for our Oba but failed. Governor AbdulRazaq did it without noise. He fixed our hospital, he fixed our school, he fixed our road. So what will Saraki campaign with? Kwarans are wiser now. His candidates lack capacity, that is why he is the one campaigning. He should return to Ilorin. Oro says no to PDP," he declared.
The rally, which brought vehicular movement to a halt, later turned into a solidarity walk for Governor AbdulRazaq and all APC candidates in the state.
This is commendable

Today in Kano, we commission Nigeria’s largest Rolling Energy L-CNG Mother Station at Gada Tamburawa, built by @rolling_energy with MDGIF support. While others trade in criticism, we deliver results—fulfilling President @officialABAT’s agenda for cheaper transportation. This is no empty promise: a concrete investment featuring a modern vehicle conversion hub (capacity for six cars daily), advanced LNG storage and processing systems, high-pressure CNG storage, and state-of-the-art refuelling infrastructure. It will reduce transport costs and bring real relief to Nigerians. Leadership through action: less talk, more delivery.

“For a Kwara you want to come and lead, it must be a Kwara you know. It is not until I am reading from paper. I know the problems in and out, and how to solve them. President @officialABAT laid a very good foundation in Lagos, that was what we lacked in Kwara. Mall. @RealAARahman has laid a good foundation, he has set the pace and I am part and parcel of the foundation laid. It will be easy to put on your blocks and by the time we reach the lintel level, by God’s grace, somebody will come and roof.” - Kwara APC Gubernatorial candidate, Engr. @SalihuDanlad

25,000 farmers, youths targeted as Governor @RealAARahman launches historic $150m dairy farm K-Wara on Wednesday
Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq is set to launch a historic dairy farm on Wednesday, projected to inject at least $150m into the local economy.
Nigeria currently spend over $1.5 billion annually to import milk and other dairy products.
K-Wara, an integrated agricultural hub, targets the production of 50,000 litres of dairy daily.
Kwara is developing its Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zone (SAPZ) with roads, reliable power, cold storage, and veterinary clinics specifically optimised to support value-added dairy manufacturing.
The initiative will reach at least 25,000 farmers, in a modern, commercialised value chain.
K-Wara is also designed to provide jobs for 1,500 youths at full capacity.
Kwara State Government has also made efforts in partnering major players and stakeholders in Nigeria's dairy and food industry, including FrieslandCampina WAMCO, to explore collaborations and shared vision for development.
Upon the groundbreaking by Governor AbdulRazaq on Wednesday, K-Wara is to become one of the biggest dairy farms promoted by a state government in Nigeria.
BEYOND GENDER: ALADI’S LANDMARK STRIDES IN LEGISLATION
By AYINLA of Kwara
Gender should never determine who deserves a political mandate or the opportunity to lead. Rather, leadership should be judged by competence, proven performance, accountability, and the ability to deliver meaningful results. As the 2027 general election approaches, the conversation about who should represent Ilorin South State Constituency must transcend the debate over whether a political party presents a male or female candidate. What truly matters is the capacity to make a difference in people's lives and translate public expectations into measurable achievements.
Hon. @AladiYusuf, Deputy Chief Whip of the Kwara State House of Assembly, has consistently demonstrated that effective representation is not defined by gender but by commitment, vision, and performance. Through purposeful legislative engagement, constituency-focused interventions, and sustained advocacy, she has continued to show dedication to the welfare and development of her people.
A closer examination of her legislative record reveals a representative who has remained actively engaged in matters of public importance rather than merely occupying a seat in the Assembly. Her contributions reflect an understanding of the challenges facing her constituency and the broader interests of Kwara State.
Among the notable motions, legislative interventions, and concerns she has raised or supported on the floor of the House are:
Establishment of Demonstration Plots Across the 16 Local Government Areas of Kwara State to provide farmers with practical training and improve agricultural productivity (August 2024).
Addressing the Indiscriminate Parking of Trailers along the road leading to the Kwara State House of Assembly Complex, with a view to improving public safety and traffic management (September 2026).
Support for Legislative Efforts to End Assaults on Healthcare Workers across Kwara State, recognising the need to protect medical professionals while performing their duties (2026).
Advocacy for Stronger Food Safety Measures to protect consumers, promote public health, and improve food standards across the state (September 2026).
Call for the Signing of the State Police Act to strengthen Kwara State's security architecture and complement the existing federal policing system (October 2026).
In many societies, the capacity of women to occupy leadership positions and deliver exceptional results is still subjected to unnecessary scrutiny. However, Hon. Maryam Yusuf Aladi's record provides an opportunity to move beyond such assumptions and assess her representation based on tangible contributions.
This raises an important question: Does her legislative performance not provide a compelling basis for considering another term in office, allowing her to consolidate her contributions and bring further experience to the Kwara State House of Assembly?
A closer look at these interventions reveals the depth of her interest in critical sectors of development.
Her advocacy for demonstration plots across the state's 16 local government areas highlights her understanding of the importance of agricultural innovation, practical training, and improved farming techniques. This legislative position complements her constituency-level support for farmers through the provision of fertilisers, agrochemicals, and other agricultural inputs aimed at strengthening local food production and improving livelihoods.
Likewise, her concern over the indiscriminate parking of trailers along the road leading to the Assembly Complex demonstrates an appreciation of the relationship between public infrastructure and safety. Unregulated parking of heavy-duty vehicles can obstruct traffic, expose motorists to unnecessary risks, and contribute to preventable road accidents. Raising this issue reflects a proactive approach to matters that directly affect public convenience and the protection of lives.

Her support for measures against assaults on healthcare workers further underscores the importance she attaches to the welfare of essential service providers. Medical professionals must be able to discharge their responsibilities in a safe and secure environment. Protecting them is not merely a workplace concern; it is an essential requirement for an effective healthcare delivery system.
Similarly, her advocacy for stronger food safety regulations demonstrates an awareness of the need to safeguard consumers, enforce appropriate standards, and prevent health risks associated with unsafe food practices. These concerns are particularly important in a society where public health and consumer protection deserve sustained legislative attention.
Her position on the State Police Act also reflects an interest in strengthening the state's security framework. At a time when the protection of lives and property remains a major public concern, legislative efforts that seek to improve security arrangements deserve serious consideration.
Collectively, these contributions present a picture of representation that extends beyond political visibility. Effective lawmaking requires identifying societal challenges, bringing them to legislative attention, supporting progressive policies, and pursuing solutions capable of improving the quality of life of the people.
CALL TO ACTION
As the 2027 general election draws closer, residents of Ilorin South State Constituency, including artisans, civil servants, students, Persons Living With Disabilities (PLWDs), members of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN), Motorcycle Operators Association of Nigeria (MOAN), Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and the Council of Ulamas, are encouraged to carefully examine the legislative record, public service, and constituency representation of Hon. Maryam Yusuf Aladi.
Our collective responsibility is to promote purposeful leadership, reward proven performance, and encourage continuity where it is justified by measurable contributions. Leaders who have demonstrated commitment and capacity should be given the opportunity to build on their existing achievements.
The election is approaching, and preparations must begin now. Let us remain actively involved in the democratic process, ensure our Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) are ready, and exercise our constitutional right to vote.
The choice before Ilorin South is an opportunity to reflect on the value of experience, consistency, and purposeful representation.
Let us move forward with Hon. Maryam Yusuf Aladi. Let us support continuity, strengthen legislative representation, and give her the opportunity to serve Ilorin South Constituency for a second term in the Kwara State House of Assembly.
Beyond Gender. Beyond Expectations. Leadership Through Results.

Gov AbdulRazaq inspects Oluremi Tinubu Hospital, commends work done*
• Says project ready soon
Kwara State Governor @RealAARahman on Monday visited the multi-storey Oluremi Tinubu Hospital Ilorin under construction to assess the quality and its level of progress.
Expressing satisfaction with the work done so far, AbdulRazaq said all the major high-end imaging equipment, such as MRI, CT scan, mammogram, X-rays, and others are already on ground for installation.
“We are counting down to completion. We're hoping to commission this facility as soon as possible. That's why we have come to look at the work being done and to make sure we put pressure on the consultants and contractors to be on time,” the Governor told reporters on the sidelines of the inspection visit.
Accompanied by his Special Adviser on Special Duties and DG APC Campaign Council (Central), Alhaji Abdulrazaq Jiddah, the Governor was conducted round the hospital by the Project Manager Craneburg Construction Company, Mohammad Yamout.
“We want to go for the best and maintain the best. The important thing, also, is to be able to attract the best consultants and continue to improve the welfare of doctors and all medical workers,” the Governor added.
“This would be probably the best public hospital in Nigeria. I know Lagos is building the Marsey Hospital, (Marsey Children's Hospital) but I think ours would surpass that in terms of services.”

Gov AbdulRazaq to Perform Ground-Breaking for K-Wara Dairy Farm
Kwara State Governor and Sardauna of Ilorin, Mallam @RealAARahman, CON, will perform the ground-breaking ceremony of the K-Wara Dairy Farm.
The ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday, 11 November 2026, at 10:00 a.m. in Malete, Kwara State.
An official invitation has been issued to the public for the event, which marks the formal start of the dairy farm project.
The programme is expected to boost local milk production, create jobs, attract investment, and reduce Nigeria’s reliance on dairy imports, delivering significant economic benefits to Kwara State.
It will also support value addition in the livestock sector and improve food security for residents.
Governor AbdulRazaq has prioritised agricultural transformation through initiatives such as the Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zones, livestock breed improvement programmes, and the establishment of a dedicated Ministry of Livestock Development.
These efforts have positioned Kwara as a growing hub for modern dairy and livestock production, with the K-Wara Dairy Farm set to further advance his administration’s impact in the sector.
