Ahead of the forthcoming elections, Kwara Development Foundation (KADEF) has urged voters to take advantage of the poll to exercise their constitutional right to elect leaders of their choice through the ballot box.
KWADEF, a non-government organisation, embarked on voters’ sensitisation programme in Ilorin, the state capital.
It enjoined voters to eschew violence and not allow themselves to be used by unscrupulous politicians during the poll.
The voters, who expressed their readiness for the poll, advised the group to intensify the enlightenment programme and order to “open the eyes of the people’.
President of the foundation Dr. Kolawole Afolabi explained that the group remains a non-partisan group with non-partisan interest. He added that as the nation moves to perform the next election ritual, the group has decided to step forward and work towards enacting a focused development paradigm for mobilising the collective strength of the people Kwara to achieve sustainable socio- economic growth.
He added that the group is seeking a non-partisan roadmap to restore deliberate thinking, planning and acting together to restore the glory of Kwara state.
He maintained that the exercise was the beginning of a series of intervention programs that will spread over a long period of time.
