PDP Hails Labaeeka's Bold Exit From Abdulrahaman's 'One Man Show' Government
...Says exit reflects the frustration of ordinary Kwarans against misgovernance since 2019
The Kwara State chapter of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) has praised the courage and fortitude displayed by Alhaji Ibrahim Labaeeka, who recently tendered his resignation as the Special Assistant on Artiste Matters in the cabinet of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
In a statement signed by the party's State Publicity Secretary, Olusegun Olusola Adewara, the PDP described Labaeeka’s action as a reflection of the mounting frustration and disenchantment of the common Kwaran, who have grown weary of the misgovernance, incompetence, and profligacy that have defined Governor AbdulRazaq’s administration since 2019.
The PDP asserts that Labaeeka’s decision is not just an act of personal conviction but one that embodies the true spirit of the PDP's leader in Kwara and the revered Waziri of Ilorin, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki,(CON) who had always chosen to stand by the suffering masses rather than indulge in the luxury of aligning with oppressors in power.
Labaeeka’s decision to exit the Abdulrazaq government mirrors the noble choices made by Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki in 2018, when he left his position as a strong stakeholder in the ruling APC, demonstrating his unwavering dedication to the people over personal gain.
It is no secret that Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s administration has been characterized by a "one-man show" style of governance, where decisions are made unilaterally from Abuja mansion of the Governor without consulting his cabinet
As a party, we recognize that the Governor's cabinet is filled with individuals who, like Alhaji Labaeeka, understand that things are not being done right. Yet, unlike Labaeeka, they remain silent, trapped in the cycle of “suffering and smiling” in order to safeguard their salaries and the perks of office, while Kwara continues to bleed from the Governor’s incompetence.
The Kwara PDP calls on other members of the Governor's cabinet — Commissioners, Special Advisers, and all who are bound by fear of losing their jobs — to follow in the courageous footsteps of Alhaji Labaeka.
It is time to stand with the genuine comrades in the PDP, who are committed to rescuing Kwara State from the claws of misgovernance and wastefulness that have plagued the state under Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
We hereby warn the Governor that nothing must happen to Alhaji Labaeeka for choosing to resign. His decision to leave the cabinet was based on personal conviction, and he has exercised his right to act in line with his conscience. We remind Governor AbdulRazaq that the right to work or not work is the prerogative of any individual, and any attempt to victimize Alhaji Labaeeka for his bold step will not be tolerated.
