By Stephen Olufemi Oni, Ilorin
Ahead of the 2023 general elections in Nigeria, the Young Progressives Party (YPP) has reiterated its resolve to take over the reins of the administration in Kwara state and Nigeria.
The National Secretary of the party, Vidiyeno Bamaiyi, made this known in Ilorin, the Kwara state capital, on Saturday while monitoring the conduct of the Ward and Local Government Congresses of the party in the state, adding that the party has what it takes to take over the leadership of the country.
Bamaiyi said the party has embarked on ‘ballot revolution’ ahead of the 2023 general elections with massive sensitisation of the youths to take their destiny in their own hands by changing the political narrative in 2023.
He said: “The ‘ballot revolution’ is not a bloody one but all about preparing the minds of young people in the country to get into mainstream politics and support themselves to take over political leadership at all levels through the ballot box with their voter cards and determine to change the old guards.”
Bamaiyi called on the youths to take their destiny in their hands by registering and collecting their Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) which would afford them the opportunity to participate in the 2023 elections, adding that they should not allow themselves to be toyed with and deceived by old politicians who do not mean well for the country.
In his remarks, the leader of the INEC team who monitored the exercise, Assistant Electoral officer Mohammed Sanni Abubakar, said the exercise was in line with the provision of the electoral act.
