IN an effort at making sure that people turn out for the ongoing voter registration exercise in the state, Kwara State governor, Dr Bukola Saraki, on Monday, promised free feeding for all people in the 193 wards in the state.

He also appealed to the people of the state who were of voting age to give the exercise the seriousness it deserved to ensure credible elections.

Dr Saraki disclosed this while addressing a stakeholders’ forum on the ongoing voter registration exercise.

He said that there could be no credible and free elections without a credible voter register, adding that to him, a free and fair as well as credible election starts with a good and credible voter register, which the electorate could trust.

According to him, the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) had commenced the voter registration nationwide, saying that the electoral body had noticed the little hitches in the exercise and was already working to solve the problems.

He appealed to the people of the state to remain patient with the slow pace of the exercise as the INEC staff were doing all that was humanly possible to arrest the situation.

The governor also urged all stakeholders at the meeting to mobilise their people to come out en masse to register, assuring that adequate security arrangements had been put in place to ensure the security of life and property.

After the Saraki family inflict pain, suffering and hunger on the people, they decide to entice them with meal.
