Kwara 2027: Security tops agenda
The aspirant said restoring peace and protecting lives and property would be central to his vision, citing worsening insecurity across parts of the state.
“It is my wish, by the grace of God, to enhance the quality of life, health and make our people better than the way the situation is. Most importantly, the issue of insecurity that has taken over the entire state — the Kwara North, the Kwara South, where I come from — most of the places are now deserted. There are so many humanitarian crises as a result of bandit attacks.
“This is one area which must be tackled head-on, and I want to say that it's going to be one of the things that will top our agenda,” he said.
Bolarinwa speaks on health, education, welfare
Bolarinwa also outlined plans to strengthen access to healthcare, education and social welfare, saying governance must deliver tangible benefits to citizens.
According to him, his administration would prioritise essential public services and adopt a people-centred approach aimed at improving everyday life.
“All other things that are necessary to make life better for the people of the state will also be attended to, especially agriculture, education and health services. I am assuring the people of Kwara that things will be better than what it is,” he added.
Kwara 2027: Bolarinwa hopes to succeed Gov Abdulrazaq
The APC aspirant expressed confidence in his chances of succeeding incumbent governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq.
“I am not just contesting, I pray and wish that I will be the one who will succeed the incumbent governor, Mallam Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, who has done his bit and who is continuing to do a good work for the state,” he said.
Bolarinwa previously served as a councillor and later a two-term chairman of the Lagos Mainland local government area, before representing his constituency in the House of Representatives for two terms.
He submitted his nomination forms alongside members of the Egbe Omo Igbomina FCT Chapter to the APC National Organising Secretary, Sulaiman Mohammed Argungu.
