A former governor of  Kwara, Senator  Bukola Saraki,  and the former  Acting National Chairman of PDP, Alhaji Abubakar Baraje, on Saturday, expressed  satisfaction at the turnout of voters for the local government election.

Saraki, representing Kwara Central Senatorial District, told newsmen  at his Agbaji, Ilorin,  family house, that voters’  turnout would improve as voting continued.

He expressed gratitude to  the people of the state for their continued  support to the PDP, saying the turnout was commendable.

Baraje, in his remarks, expressed the belief that PDP would win the council poll.

“We have done it before, we are still doing it. Kwara State is a unique state that delivers right from the grass roots to the national level for  the PDP,” he said.

He also dismissed speculations that  policemen were withdrawn from providing security during the election.

“I can see security men  here and there. They are very much around. I was coming from GRA to my family house here and they stopped me in about three or four places,”  he said.

Baraje expressed the hope that the crisis in the PDP at the national level would end once   law and order was respected.
