The campaign council of the All Progressive Congress, APC has called on the security agencies in the state to be fair to all during the forthcoming Governoship election.
This followed a raid carried out in parts of the Movie East recently where some suspected trouble makers were said to have been arrested.
A statement issued on Tuesday by the Director, Media and publicity of the council expressed deep concern about the raid and said it hoped that it’s members have not been specifically targeted.
“We wish to reiterate that as a Campaign Council, we welcome every effort at ensuring a peaceful poll on November 11, 2023. The election is for the electorate to determine who leads the state from January 27, 2024 and therefore shouldn’t be a reason for insecurity in the state.
However, we express deep concerns regarding the needless raid on the residences of some of our chieftains in Kogi East. We hold the hope that they are not specifically targeted ahead of the election”. He said.
The council therefore called on security agencies to act professionally, fairly and with the patriotic intent to maintain law and order before, during and after the election.
