The Minister of Information Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has raised what he described as a victory army for the All Progressives Congress in the forthcoming election in Kwara State.
This he did by inaugurating on Friday some 2,500 grassroots canvassers to mobilise the people of the state for the party.
Mohammed, who is at the forefront of the battle to defeat the Saraki hegemony in the state, said it was time to liberate the people.
He said, “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.
”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.
“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.”
