In light of Saturday’s supplementary elections, the President-elect, Senator Bola Tinubu, has cautioned against violence in the supplementary election.
Tinubu called on the electorate in the areas where the supplementary election would hold to eschew violence and peacefully conduct themselves, in a statement he made in Abuja today.
His words: “As the last leg of the 2023 General Election, we must ensure that the electoral processes are brought to a final, peaceful conclusion.
“I urge all Nigerians in areas where the additional polls will take place to eschew violence and conduct themselves in an orderly and peaceful manner.
“We should desist from acts prejudicial to the conduct of orderly polls or that will threaten the very existence of the country.
“It is only when there is a country that aspirants to political offices can have seats to contest for and the electorate have people seeking their votes.”
Speaking to the All Progressives Congress members, Tinubu added: “Our party members and supporters should vote overwhelmingly for APC to complement and solidify the victory we recorded in the earlier poll.
“This will no doubt help in the effective functioning of government at the Federal and State levels for the benefit of our people.
“On this note, I wish INEC, all voters in the various polling units in these elections, the candidates and parties involved a very successful supplementary poll.”
