Fayemi warns against rigging

Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has warned that security agencies have been placed on the alert to deal with anybody caught engaged in electoral violence. The Special Adviser to the Governor on Political and Party Matters, Mr. Tosin Olotu, who spoke on behalf of the governor gave this warning on Wednesday at a workshop organised by the state government to sensitise the people on the need for free and fair elections. The Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, Mr. Hussain Pai, the Assistant Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations and Training, Mr. Udat Udodu, the Chairman, Conference of Nigeria Political Parties in Ekiti State, Mr. Tunji Ogunlola and representatives of some political parties were also at the workshop. Olotu said on behalf of the government that, “Nigeria has a great future and it is our responsibility to conduct ourselves in a manner that is not inimical to our state or country. Clearly speaking, election is not about war, because war causes chaos, and denial of peace.” By Agency Reporter Courtesy Of: Punch
