Kwara govt denies pilgrims stranded in Saudi Arabia
The Kwara State Government has dismissed claims that its pilgrims performing this year’s Hajj in Saudi Arabia are stranded, describing the allegations as unfounded and misleading.
Initially, a statement from the Kwara State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), alleged that the pilgrims were abandoned in the holy land.
However, a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Rafiu Ajakaye refuted the claims and revealed that pilgrims from the state are scheduled to begin their return to Nigeria as from June 21, 2025.
Ajakaye clarified that Kwara has one of the largest contingents this year, with 2,204 pilgrims, and that their return schedule coordinated by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), airlines, and the state’s pilgrims board is running on track.
“The return of Kwara pilgrims is in four batches: June 21st, 23rd, 25th, and 27th. The Kwara State Government did not design this schedule; it was created by all the stakeholders: NAHCON, airlines, and the pilgrims’ board,” Ajakaye stated.
“so how did the story of being stranded arise?” he queried, noting that the claim was not only premature but also politically motivated.
Ajakaye said the state’s media team had reached out to key officials on ground, including the Ameerul Hajj and Olupo of Ajase-Ipo, as well as the Executive Secretary of the Kwara State Muslim Pilgrims’ Board, who both debunked the PDP’s claims.
“They both had a good laugh at the statement of the PDP because there is nothing of the sort,” he said.
