Minister charges grassroots canvassers to ensure victory for APC in Kwara

Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has charged grassroots canvassers to ensure victory for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State, come the general election. More than 2,500 grassroots canvassers were inaugurated in Kwara State on Friday to engage in massive mobilisation of people from all the wards and polling units in the state to ensure victory for the APC at all levels in this year’s general elections. “These canvassers will be our victory army, the army that will dismantle the gargantuan edifice of corruption that has held our dear state down for too long”. Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who is also the leader of the party in the state revealed at the inauguration of the canvassers at the Buhari/Osinbajo Project 2019 Office in Ilorin saying: ”This unprecedented move is our most potent weapon against the enemies of the state and the oppressors of the people”. Alhaji Mohammed said the ‘well-recruited, tested and trusted canvassers’ will go from house to house in each of the 1,872 polling units in the state to tell the people why they must vote for President Muhammadu Buhari and all the candidates of the APC in Kwara State in the forthcoming general elections. “To the canvassers, if they ask you why President Buhari deserves a second term, tell them it is because he has leveraged his legendary integrity and acclaimed management of resources, human and material, to reinvent governance and make a difference in the lives of Nigerians. Therefore, he needs another four years to consolidate his great achievements”, he said. Alhaji Mohammed used the occasion to assure all the APC candidates for this year’s elections that the recent court judgment in respect of the state executive council of the party has not affected the validity of their candidature. In his remark, the Minister of Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, said the 2019 general election represents the struggle by the poor in Nigeria to take back the country from the rich. He commended the people of Kwara for kick-starting the political revolution that will dismantle the self-serving structures of the rich in the country. “What you are seeing is the modern day Tunisia. You know the Arab Spring started from Tunisia, when a poor man just set himself on fire and the revolution started all over the country. Today, Kwara is leading the revolution to change Nigeria. Power must return to the people”. Tom Okpe, Abuja
