President, Dr Bukola Saraki.

 

The immediate past Senate President of Nigeria, Dr
Bukola Saraki, has urged voters in Edo State to protect their votes
in the Saturday governorship election, even as the polls get into
what he terms a “critical stage”.

In a series of tweets on Saturday,  Dr. Saraki stated
that  “the enthusiasm and patriotic conduct of the good
people of Edo State must not be thwarted or subverted by any
@inecnigeria official, either permanent or ad-hoc; or any security
personnel, no matter the rank.

“Nigeria’s glory is more important than the huge ego of
politicians. And so @inecnigeria  and security officials must
work to protect Nigeria’s image and not to satisfy the whims and
caprices of some power-hungry politicians.”

Saraki’s tweets come after voting was concluded at many units
across the state, in an election that has been trailed by mixed
reactions.

There are many who say the election was very peaceful and can be
used as a yardstick for other elections, but there are others who
insist that vote-buying and other electoral malpractices marred the
exercise.
