In preparation for the 2023 General Elections, the Nigeria Police Force has called on all Presidential Candidates to caution their supporters and party stalwarts from making inciting comments capable of heating the polity and creating undue excitement among the electorates and the general populace in the country.
The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, made this call in a statement on Monday. He specifically charged the Presidential Candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC), People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), and the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) to seize the opportunity of the waiting period to emphasize the rule of law, respect for the Constitution, and constituted authority among their supporters.
Adejobi reiterated the need for all parties to desist from mounting undue pressure on the electoral process announcement of results. He assured the public that all hands are on deck to speedily conclude the collation of results and declare the winner.
The Police Force commended the general public and electorates for their patience thus far and encouraged Presidential Candidates to admonish their supporters to uphold the tenets of the Peace Accord recently signed for the smooth conduct of the 2023 general elections.
With this call, the Police Force is making a clarion call to all Presidential Candidates and their supporters to uphold peace and avoid any actions that could jeopardize the smooth conduct of the forthcoming General Elections.
