A clearer vision for Kwara's future took centre stage today with the official unveiling of 'My Covenant with Kwara (SBK Compact)', the manifesto of the governorship candidate of our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Engr. Suleiman Bolakale Kawu in Ilorin. Built around three strategic pillars, nine promises and eighteen programmes, the manifesto sets out a people-centred roadmap for addressing the challenges facing our state and unlocking its development potential. As we look towards the 2027 elections, Kwara needs leadership anchored on a clear vision, practical solutions and a genuine commitment to the people. Our state deserves nothing less. I congratulate my brother, the Dan’Iya, Engr. Suleiman Bolakale Kawu, on this important milestone. I look forward to working with him towards translating this vision into tangible results through purposeful collaboration and effective executive-legislative partnership. Kwara deserves better, and our people deserve even more. Together, we can make it happen. SM

I believe that seeking the mandate of the people comes with a responsibility that goes beyond making campaign promises, attending rallies and asking for votes. It requires being clear about what you intend to do, how you intend to do it, the resources required and how the people can hold you accountable. This is why I have presented The SBK Compact – Kwara People First. I am offering Kwarans more than political rhetoric; I am presenting a structured programme of government with clear priorities, specific commitments and measurable targets. For too long, our people have had to contend with a gap between campaign expectations and the realities of governance. When citizens are not presented with clear and accessible commitments, it becomes difficult to measure performance and demand accountability. I believe the people of Kwara deserve better. They deserve to know what those seeking their mandate intend to do for them. They deserve to interrogate our proposals, question our priorities and hold us responsible for the promises we make. My commitments are clear: a proposed ₦100 billion Security Trust Fund; ₦50 million for each of our 193 wards within the first 100 days; 200,000 annual youth employment opportunities; a ₦19.2 billion Agricultural Production Fund; dedicated financing for traders, MSMEs and women-owned businesses; improved education and healthcare; and a 13th-month salary for civil servants, among other interventions. These are proposals we are putting before the people for scrutiny. I do not expect Kwarans to take my word for it simply because I am asking for their votes. I expect them to examine this document, interrogate our commitments and demand explanations where necessary. Our people must never be taken for granted. A governorship election should be about competing ideas, credible plans and the future we intend to build, not just political slogans and the mobilisation of crowds. I have put my commitments on the table. Let every candidate seeking to govern Kwara do the same. The people deserve to compare the plans, ask the hard questions and know exactly what they are voting for. Because Kwara is bigger than any individual ambition. The future of our people must come first. THE SBK COMPACT. KWARA PEOPLE FIRST. SECURE. PRODUCTIVE. PROSPEROUS. #SBKFORKWARA #Sbk2027

₦50 million for each of Kwara’s 193 wards! That’s a bold commitment to grassroots development. What makes this proposal particularly interesting is that communities will decide the projects they need most within the first 100 days. This puts the people at the centre of decision-making rather than imposing projects on them. From infrastructure to healthcare, education and other essential needs, every ward deserves attention. Kwara People First must translate into development that reaches every community, not just a few selected areas. #SBK2027 #KwaraPeopleFirst #KwaraState

I believe that getting things right starts with paying attention to the little details. That is why I always make time to personally inspect preparations, engage with the team and ensure that everything is coming together as planned. For me, being hands-on is not just about overseeing the process; it is about taking responsibility, being involved and giving every assignment the attention it deserves. I believe in being present, staying involved and leading by example. #SBK2027 #SBKCOMPACT #SBKFORKWARA
