“Today, we are very proud that with the available database of our members; COSAA is set to deliver six million votes to PDP in the 2019 general elections,’’ he said.

Kolawole also said the forum was convened to pass a vote of confidence on Saraki for his moral and financial support that had enabled the group to maintain structures in all local governments in the country.

He added that Saraki’s leadership quality in the protection and promotion of democracy is worthy of commendation.
