… declare your vote is your power, come out and vote<\/p>\n

… as APC campaign announce stoppage of activities<\/p>\n

The Kogi State Government has urge voters in the state to come out enmasse to vote on Saturday November 11, 2023, noting that it is their civic right to elect their leaders.<\/p>\n

In a terse statement by Kingsley Femi Fanwo, Hon. Commissioner for Information and Communications, he said, “the security operatives in the state are here to protect you and make your votes count.<\/p>\n

“They are not in the state to intimidate or harass you as they have remained very professional since arriving in the state to provide security for our people and we commend the Federal Government and security agencies for their commitment to peaceful poll.<\/p>\n

According to him, “every Polling Unit will be protected and the eligible voters will have the confidence to cast their votes. Violence should be shunned by all as we cannot afford to lose the peace we enjoy in the state to an exercise which should ordinarily be a celebration of democratic rights”, he added.<\/p>

Meanwhile, in an earlier notice, the Kogi State APC said all campaign activities had ceased since the midnight of Thursday November 9, 2023 in compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act.<\/p>\n

It added that, by this announcement, any campaign activity henceforth does not have the permission of the party or its Governorship Candidate.<\/p>\n

“We urge all our supporters to take note of this as the party and or its candidate will not be liable for any infringement on campaign duration.<\/p>\n
