The Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in Kwara State, Engr Sulaiman Bolakale Kawu, has unveiled his manifesto for the 2027 general elections.

He presented the document titled The SBK Compact: Kwara People First at the Arca Centre Hall, Ilorin, on Thursday, November 12, 2026. The manifesto is built around the theme Secure. Productive. Prosperous.

Kawu described the manifesto as a contract with the people. He said his experience as a retired senior civil servant prepared him for governance.

He said his service at the Rural Electrification Agency gave him the needed background.

He pledged to establish a N100 billion Security Trust Fund if elected. He also pledged to introduce a 13th month salary for civil servants. He said the document outlines his interventions in security, infrastructure, education, healthcare, agriculture, employment and social welfare.

To stimulate economic activity, Kawu proposed separate N9.6 billion revolving loan schemes. One is for market traders and the other is for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. The latter will offer single digit interest rates.

He also pledged to establish a N3 billion Women Enterprises and Empowerment Fund. He promised business support grants to at least 1,000 artisans annually. He set a target of 200,000 new youth employment opportunities and 5,000 enterprise opportunities each year.

On security, Kawu said the proposed N100 billion trust fund will support intelligence led operations, community partnerships, equipment and improved coordination among security agencies.

In education, he proposed a N4 billion provision for special monthly hardship allowances for teachers serving in underserved, rural and hard to reach communities. On healthcare, he pledged to strengthen primary healthcare facilities across the 16 local government areas, improve access to medicines and equipment, and introduce a special allowance for qualified health workers serving in underserved communities.
