The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Thursday cautioned the people of Central Senatorial district of kogi state, north central Nigeria, against political thuggery and violence as 2023 general elections gather momentum.
Dr Hale Longpet, Kogi Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), gave the cautionary statement during a courtesy visit to the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Dr Ado Ibrahim, in his palace in Okene.
Longpet, accompanied by his management staff, said the 2023 polls were very crucial and important to the growth and development of Nigeria.
“This is why we are in your palace to solicit for your assistance as a Royal Father, to caution your subjects against political thuggery and violence before, during and after the elections.
“It’s no longer news that without peace, there can’t be any progress in whatever one is doing.
“We should therefore allow peace to prevail in the electioneering campaigns that have kick-started in earnest.
“This very courtesy visit to your Royal Majesty today is solely to plead with you to talk to your subjects, to eschew violence and all acts inimical to achieving free, fair and credible elections in your domain and the state at large, ” he said.
Responding, the traditional ruler said that the visit was very timely, in view of the crucial assignment before INEC,as an umpire to midwife another political transition for the country.
The royal father described the Ebira people as peace-loving, assuring that they would not allow themselves to be used by anyone or group to foment trouble.
He expressed delight for the visit and the progress the commission had made so far towards the conduct of the 2023 general elections.
