APC urges members to shun violence

The Kwara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged members, supporters and loyalists to eschew any form of violence before, during and after this year’s general elections.

The party admonished members to exercise their civic rights by casting their votes in a peaceful manner, saying they should guard their votes jealously.

The State Coordinator of Buhari/Osinbajo (Project 4+4), Mohammed Y. L. Idiopopo, spoke with our correspondent in Ilorin, the state capital, on the side-line of the special prayers the group organised for the success of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Prof Yemi Osinbajo, APC governorship candidate and other candidates of the party at all levels.

Idiopopo said: “A piece of advice for all APC supporters is for them to eschew violence before, during and after the elections. We don’t want anybody to disrupt the electoral processes.

“I urge everybody to go out on the days of the elections and exercise their franchise. I also admonish them to cast their votes and let the votes be counted in their presence.”

On the chances of APC at the polls, the coordinator said: “We are confident the APC will emerge victorious in the state and at the Federal level. Other states that were created alongside Kwara have gone past us.

“We are sick and tired of all this underdevelopment. Vast majority of Kwarans are tired of retrogression. That is why they are saying ‘Enough is Enough’ (O To Ge!). APC will win at all levels, by the grace of God.”
