President Bola Tinubu has urged calm and orderly conduct ahead of Saturday’s elections in the Federal Capital Territory, Kano State, and Rivers State.
In a statement issued Friday by his spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, the president called on security agencies to act with restraint and urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to reinforce public trust in the electoral process.
“President Tinubu urged all eligible voters to come out and vote without fear, emphasising that the democratic process thrives best in an atmosphere of calm, tolerance, and mutual respect,” the statement said.
He appealed to voters, security personnel, and electoral officials to carry out their duties calmly and professionally, while encouraging broad participation at the polls. Tinubu also urged political parties, candidates, and supporters to avoid violence, inflammatory rhetoric, or any actions that could undermine the credibility of the elections.
