President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki, on Wednesday led the Kwara State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party on a campaign tour of Ilorin South, promising to deliver more prosperity to the people of his constituency and the state in general.

Saraki said he would consolidate on previous gains by delivering more dividends of democracy to the people of the state.

He said, "With your mandate, I have facilitated considerable constituency and intervention projects to Kwara State. Once again, I have come to seek your renewed mandate and support.

"I will consolidate on previous gains and deliver more prosperity to our people."

He emphasised the need for Nigerians to vote en masse for the PDP's presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, whom he said had the capacity to make Nigeria work again and eradicate poverty from the land.

Also, the PDP governorship candidate in the state, Razak Atunwa, said if elected, his administration would focus on expanding opportunities for the youth through job creation and empowerment.

"Our demographic pattern shows a dominant youth population, they must therefore be the central priority of our government," Atunwa said.
