I released a single to preach against electoral violence, circulated graphics and visited markets in Kwara State to create awareness and sensitize their general public about danger of electoral violence and tendencies that can undermine the conduct of free, fair and credible polls.
This time around we will take the campaign to Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria, Abuja, Kogi and other states in North Central zone. I believe artistes can also contribute their quota to ensure conduct of violence free election in Nigeria”, He explained.
