He said, “the Kwara PDP is steadfast in its determination to canvass and organize support from all quarters for the triumph of our great party. Transparency, accountability, safety, and the integrity of democracy would all be aided by the establishment of Kwara South Women Polling Booth Committee in Kwara South senatorial district. This is the sole means to get direct reports directly from the grassroots.
