In their visit to the community, Founder of the organisation, Ahmed Adebowale alongside team members sensitized 30 households (over 200 eligible voters) on the significance of participation in electoral process as 2023 general elections hit the top gear.

According to him: “The era of voting candidates based on political parties is over. Voters must seek to hear from every candidate seeking for any political office other than the top to bottom syndrome.

“Nigerians must exercise their franchise by voting candidates with clear cut strategies to return the country back to the people. Therefore, voters must reject every form of enticement to compromise a genuine cause.
