Minister charges grassroots canvassers to ensure victory for APC in Kwara

Information and Culture Minister Lai Mohammed yesterday in Ilorin inaugurated more than 2,500 grassroots canvassers in Kwara State for the purpose of mobilizing the people of the state for the All Progressives Congress (APC) at all levels for the coming general elections.

”These canvassers will be our victory army, the army that will dismantle the gargantuan edifice of corruption and misgovernance that has held our dear state down for too long.

‘’This unprecedented move is our most potent weapon against the enemies of the state and the oppressors of the people,” Lai Mohammed said.

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 2019 general elections.

”Gathered here today are 1,872 canvassers representing the 18,720 canvasses. That is one canvasser per each polling unit across the 193 wards in Kwara State. We are also inaugurating today 193 ward coordinators, 193 ward secretaries, 193 ward women leaders and 193 ward youth leaders,’’ he said.

The Minister said the stellar performance of President Buhari in reinventing governance and his pro-poor policies have made the job of the canvassers much easier.

”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.
