Official cars not my priority- Kwara State Gov

The Governor of Kwara State, Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq has disclaimed that he bought a bullet-proof car and own an official car. He made this known on Thursday via his Twitter while clearing the fake belief that the Government of Kwara State sponsored the Wizkid concert in the state.
He said such bogus acclaimed saying, that the Kwara government funded the Wizkid performance with 200million should be taken off from people's minds as it was all a lie.
He stressed that the future of kwarans and its environs are his top priority and not official cars.
"Those that destroyed Kwara for years are trying to have a come back through falsehood. 
"The strategy is to say we are like them by accusing us of using funds to bring Wizkid to Kwara which they did in their time by bringing Jay-Z to Kwara. 
"We are not like them
"The Wizkid concert, which we think was a great thing for our entertainment industry, was a private sector initiative.
"We are prudent with public resources.
"As of today, I still drive my personal cars as official cars.
"I bought them before I was sworn in. Although the law allows me to buy such vehicles, it is not a priority for me.
"We need to fix our state first."
