Fagbemi explained that the gathering was designed to address party matters, sensitise members on the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration, and promote security awareness.

Encouraging early registration and mass mobilisation, the chairman directed each party member to ensure at least twenty people were registered through their efforts.

Fagbemi also expressed gratitude to Tinubu for prioritising Kwara, citing key projects such as the Bode-Saadu–Kaiama Expressway and Enyenkorin Road, while commending the state’s strides in infrastructure and human capital development.
“Both the President and the governor have demonstrated adept resource management, with Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq leading numerous road projects and improvements across all sectors of the state,” he stated.
Addressing the issue of insecurity, Mr Fagbemi stressed that security is a collective responsibility and underscored the need for collaboration with security agencies to tackle rising threats.
He urged residents of Kwara State to remain calm despite recent security concerns, assuring them that the state government is working closely with the federal authorities.
He cited initiatives such as the establishment of a Forest Guard as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen safety measures.
The Senior Special Assistant on Security to AbdulRazaq, Muyideen Aliyu, disclosed that up to 200 fully armed Forest Guard operatives would be deployed to each local government area.
He further assured the public of a strong security presence at all registration centres, while expressing gratitude to the governor for his unwavering support of security agencies across the state.
