Ajia Congratulates Newly Elected PDP Executives in Kwara
* Commends Outgoing Leaders for their steadfastness to the ideals of Party’s Founding Fathers
* Charges the New Team on Strategic Preparation for 2027
By AbdulRahmam Obaje
The Dan Amanar Fune Emirate of Yobe State and President/CEO of Funab Group of Companies Ltd, Alhaji Ibrahim Mohammed Ajia, a frontline stakeholder of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has congratulated the newly elected ward, local, Senatorial and State executives of the party in Kwara State following the just-concluded congresses.
In a statement signed by his Director of Communications, Mallam Abdulrahman Aliagan, and made available to journalists, Ajia described the successful conduct of the congresses as a positive step toward repositioning the PDP for greater electoral success in the state.
He commended the outgoing executives for their steadfastness and loyalty to the ideals of the party’s founding fathers, despite not being in power.
According to him, Kwara State remains unique in Nigeria for standing firmly with the PDP
unlike what is witnessed in some other quarters where the loyalty of party leaders is often in doubt.
“There are questions about whether some leaders are genuinely working for the PDP or the APC. But in Kwara, our outgoing executives never compromised. They held the structure together, stayed true to our founding ideals, and kept faith with the party despite back-to-back electoral losses. This resilience deserves commendation,” Ajia said.
Turning to the new executives, led by the State Chairman Hon. Adamu Isa Bawa, Ajia charged them not to see their emergence as an opportunity for personal gains but as a call to service and strategic preparation for the 2027 general elections.
He described Hon. Adamu Bawa Issa as a trusted, calm, easy-going, and dogged party man who has remained committed to the PDP over the years.
He urged the new executives at the state, senatorial, local government, and ward levels to work collectively to analyze past setbacks and adopt deliberate strategies to reclaim power.
“As a candidate in the last general election, I saw firsthand the overwhelming support of the people for our party. So, I don’t believe Kwarans are not voting for us; rather, there are systematic approaches being used to rig us out. This is the reality we must confront and resolve. Our collective task now is to go beyond routine party politics—we must be deliberate, strategic, and united in our approach to winning back power,” Ajia stressed.
He further called on the new leadership to reach out to members who left the PDP to join third-force movements and reconcile with them, warning that such divisions can not deliver victory.
“The PDP in Kwara has been distinct. We must continue to distance ourselves from the confusion at the national level so that our people, who still have faith in us, do not become stranded and helpless. We must also broaden our political calculations to ensure that whatever we do at the state align with what will happen at the national level to ensure our people benefit from the dividends of democracy—tackling insecurity, poverty, unemployment, youth restiveness, decayed infrastructure, and poor social amenities,” he added.
Ajia also acknowledged the unwavering support of the PDP national leader, the President of the 8th Senate, Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki, who he said has remained committed to strengthening the party at the state and national levels.
Reiterating his commitment, Ajia assured party faithful that he would continue to work with other stakeholders to ensure the PDP emerges stronger and victorious in 2027, urging the people of Kwara State to embrace the PDP as the credible alternative .
“Our people deserve better. The PDP remains the viable platform to restore hope, provide purposeful leadership, and usher in genuine development for the good of all Kwarans,” Ajia concluded

By AbdulRahman Obaje
The chieftain of the APC in Kwara state , Alhaji Ibrahim Mohammed Ajia, Ph.D, has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and the Governor of Kwara State, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, CON, on the occasion of Democracy Day 2026 Celebration and the third years anniversary of their administrations. js">
This is contained in a statement he personally signed and made available to journalists on Friday in Abuja, Ajia described June 12 as a historic symbol of Nigeria’s democratic struggle, resilience, and collective aspiration for good governance.
Ajia commended President Tinubu for demonstrating courage in implementing reforms aimed at repositioning the nation’s economy, improving infrastructure, attracting investments, and strengthening key institutions of government. He noted that the administration has laid important foundations for long-term national development.
While acknowledging these efforts, he urged the President to pay greater attention to the pressing challenges confronting ordinary Nigerians. According to him, the hopes and aspirations of citizens remain the strongest mandate of any democratic government.
The Ilorin-born security expert further called for intensified efforts to secure lives and property across the country and encouraged the President to deepen youth inclusion in governance by appointing more competent young Nigerians into strategic decision-making positions. He noted that Nigeria’s youthful population represents a vital resource for innovation, nation-building, and sustainable development.
Ajia also advocated the continuation of inclusive economic policies capable of empowering local contractors, entrepreneurs, small businesses, and investors, while ensuring that the benefits of governance are felt more directly at the grassroots.
The philanthropist and business leader equally congratulated Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on the achievements recorded in Kwara State, particularly in the areas of infrastructure, education, healthcare, youth empowerment, social investments, and public sector reforms.
He, however, urged the governor to devote greater attention to ward-level and community-based development projects that would create employment opportunities and empower indigenous contractors, local businessmen, women, farmers, and young entrepreneurs across the state.
Ajia further advised Governor AbdulRazaq to strengthen inclusive politics and governance by expanding consultation, participation, and representation within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and across the broader political landscape.
He stressed the need for reconciliation among aggrieved party members and stakeholders to consolidate unity and ensure the party’s continued electoral success in Kwara State.
According to him, June 12 reminds Nigerians that democracy thrives when leaders listen, citizens actively participate, and governance reaches every community, including the most remote wards.
He reaffirmed his support for both the Federal and the Kwara State Governments and expressed optimism that Nigeria would continue to advance under responsive, inclusive, and people-oriented leadership.
Ajia wished President Tinubu, Governor AbdulRazaq, and all Nigerians a peaceful and memorable Democracy Day celebration, praying for greater unity, security, progress, and prosperity for the nation.
