The foundation, which embarked on voters’ sensitisation programme in Ilorin at the weekend, enjoined prospective voters to eschew violence and not to allow themselves to be used negatively by politicians during the poll.
President of the foundation, Dr Kolawole Afolabi, explained that the group remains a non-partisan group with non-partisan interest.
“As the nation moves to perform the next election ritual, we have decided to step forward and work towards enacting a focused development paradigm for mobilising the collective strength of the people of Kwara state to achieve sustainable socio-economic growth”, he said.
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 programmes that will spread over a long period of time.
