The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State has threatened to sack liaison officers and youth empowerment coordinators in the 16 local governments for incompetence.

The party also said their involvement in activities in their constituencies, particularly regular attendance at ward meetings, would be a condition for retaining their jobs. 

The meeting, which was attended by the executive committee members, elders and stalwarts, agreed that political office holders must meet their constituencies continually. 

Senator Bukola Saraki, representing Kwara Central, said the party would not tolerate indolence and incompetence. 

He added that liaison officers and youth empowerment coordinators should interact with the people at the grass- roots to find out their needs and inform the governor and party. 

The senator said since politics is about service to the people, positive impact must be made on their lives by ensuring that their yearnings and aspirations are met.  

His words: "Youth leaders should get in touch with the people at the grass roots and attend meetings in their constituencies. This is not negotiable as the party will sack whoever performs below expectation.

"As youth empowerment coordinators and liaison officers, you have to prove your ability. Remember, it's a position of trust. It's not because you are the best among your peers, but it's the will of God, and don't forget it's not going to be permanent. Therefore, put in your best now that God has given you the opportunity.

"In the same vein, strive to make the party and government programmes and policies  popular among the people and find out the problems they are confronting so that  the authority concerned could be made aware of this."
