ILORIN— MINISTER of National Planning and Deputy Chairman, National Planning Commission, NPC, Dr. Abubakar Olanrewaju Sulaiman, yesterday, advised politicians in Kwara State against rigging the forthcoming general election in 2015, warning that anyone caught engaging in electoral fraud, no matter how highly placed, risked jail term.
The minister spoke at a reception organised in his honour by the 1984 set of his alma mater, Community Secondary School, Ballah in Asa Local Government of the state.
Addressing residents and supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Sulaiman said: “Unfolding events in Kwara of today has shown that the people are ready for change, and Inshallah (God willing), that change must come.
Anybody, no matter how highly placed that attempts to stop that change by attempting to rig next year’s election, will be jailed. There is imminent danger starring us in the face in Kwara. We need to act fast and stem the spate of thuggery and unemployment among our youths, who just eulogise a ‘leader’ who has not done anything to change their lives.”
