On the reported protest over the outcome of the council polls, Omotosho admonished the aggrieved party in the election to channel their grievances through lawful means so as not to create unnecessary unrest in the state.

The Labour Party boss, however, applauded the people of Kwara State for coming out en mass and conducting themselves peacefully while the election lasted and for demanding accountability by staying back to defend their votes.

"They should exercise their franchise without undue influence, prejudice and mediocre sentiments from anyone no matter how highly placed in the society. Let us remember the immortal words of our Sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, that when the people are ready, a leader will come", Omotosho said.
