She however advocated for proactive measures to be taken by relevant stakeholders in order to prevent electoral crises in Niger State, before,\u00a0 during and after the forthcoming general elections.<\/p>\n

Sai’du opined\u00a0 that only by taking proactive as well as preventative measures would ensure peaceful and orderly electoral process.<\/p>\n

She said the agency was concerned about the potential of electoral violence and unrest which can have devastating effects on lives and properties of the people of the state and the country as a whole.<\/p>\n

According to her, “the agency is calling on all political actors, community leaders, and registered voters\u00a0 to exercise their franchise\u00a0 peacefully and refrain from any form of violence or intimidation during the electioneering period.<\/p>

The Head of Minna Operations office,NEEMA also\u00a0 called on politicians to ensure that their supporters operate within the ambit of the law, urging them to imbibe the spirit of sportsmanship and channel their grievances to the appropriate constituted authorities.<\/p>\n

She thereby called on the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) and other relevant authorities to take all necessary measures to prevent and manage electoral crises that may arise\u00a0 through training of its officials and adequate deployment of security personnel.<\/p>\n

She also called on patriotic and well meaning Nigerians to support the agency’s efforts in promoting peace and stability defore, during and after\u00a0 the electioneering period for peaceful and successful polls at the states and national levels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
