President Goodluck Jonathan, on Tuesday, announced that his administration is gearing towards conducting the 2015 general election in a peaceful manner without using the police and security other agents.

Speaking in Calabar, Cross River State, at the campaign rally for the gubernatorial candidate of the People's Democratic Party(PDP) in the state, Liyel Imoke, Jonathan said: "We want to make sure that we conduct election in Nigeria without police; we want to conduct election without security people carrying guns; we want a situation where Nigerians will queue up and vote, go back home, the votes are counted and nobody is cheated so that at the end of elections, there will not be all kinds of litigation.

That is our next campaign; and God willing before 2015 elections, we will conduct elections without security carrying guns to follow us. We are disciplined people. We know we have some people that are fairly extreme but generally Nigerians are disciplined people. If we all agree to do it, we will do it; we will conduct elections in this country without security and Cross River State is one of such states that we can use as a model.
