Rivers, Kano, FCT Elections: Tinubu Sends Message To Nigerians, Security, INEC by DoWhatThouWilt(op): 7:28pm On Feb 20

President Bola Tinubu has called on voters, security agencies and officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to conduct themselves in an orderly manner during Saturday’s polls in the Federal Capital Territory and the states of Kano and Rivers.

DAILY POST reports that INEC will conduct elections in the six area councils of the FCT, as well as bye-elections in the Ahoada East II and Khana II state constituencies of Rivers, and in the Kano Municipal and Ungogo constituencies in Kano State.

In a statement signed by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President (Information & Strategy), the President urged all eligible voters to come out and vote without fear, emphasizing that the democratic process thrives best in an atmosphere of calm, tolerance, and mutual respect.

He appealed to political parties, candidates, and their supporters to shun violence, inflammatory statements, and actions that undermine the credibility of the process.

He cautioned against any form of high-handedness, intimidation, or actions that could disenfranchise voters or erode public trust, stressing that security personnel are present to protect lives, property, and the sanctity of the ballot.

President Tinubu also appealed to the Commission to take all necessary measures to bolster voters’ confidence by ensuring timely accreditation, smooth voting processes, accurate collation, and prompt transmission of results, in line with the 2026 Electoral Act.

“Fellow Nigerians, I assure you that the Federal Government under my administration will continue to support institutions responsible for delivering free, fair, and credible elections,” he said.

“To all residents of the FCT, Kano, and Rivers, I commend your civic consciousness. I am confident that these elections will reflect the will of the people and further strengthen our democratic journey as a nation,” the President added.

Best of luck to Independent National Electoral Commission. The pressure will certainly be on the INEC Chairman, as these are the first elections under his leadership. Expectations are high, scrutiny will be intense, and every decision will be closely watched.

Peter Obi is the chief election rigger cos how will Peter Obi have almost 95% vote in the south east during the 2023 Presidential election if not for massive rigging in the south east.
