According to Mr. Kingsley Fanwo, Commissioner for Information, “the state government has directed security agencies to enforce the order in the interest of the people and to ensure that offenders are punished.”
Fanwo urged citizens to come out in large numbers to participate in the election, assuring them of adequate security as they exercise their franchise on Saturday.
Fanwo expressed confidence in the Kogi State Independent Electoral Commission (KOSIEC) to organize a free, fair, and credible Council Poll across the state.
“We hereby urge citizens to be peaceful and to make their choices known through the ballot,” he said. The commissioner emphasized the importance of democracy being a free will of the people and the power of the ballot over bullets.
