The Kwara Progressive Media Organization, KPMO, has called on politicians in the State to play politics with decorum to ensure the sustenance of democracy and the safety of lives and property of Kwarans in the build-up to the 2023 general elections.
The call was made in a statement signed by the group convener, Usman Lade, who called on the politicians, especially those in the opposition parties in the State to emulate the virtues of Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq who they identified to have proven over time to be an advocate of peace, unity and playing politics with decorum.
The statement read in part “Campaigns should be issues-based. Political parties don’t have to engage in a campaign of propaganda, deceit, and blackmail. We urge candidates, political leaders, followers, and the general public to be civil and peaceful in their activities and also imbibe the duty of verifying information before escalating.
“We also want to place all the security agencies on alert as to the activities of politicians in the state. There should no sacred cow, anybody found culpable of inciting members of the public should be arrested and made to face the law.
“We also appeal to the teeming youths in the state not to allow any politician or individual to use them to disrupt the peace of the state. Every son and daughter of the state should resist any attempt by anyone to destroy Kwara State,”
