Kano State Governor Dr Abdulahi Umar Ganduje has advised voters to be peaceful and orderly while exercising their democratic franchise in the ongoing Presidential and National Assembly election.
Governor Ganduje gave the advice shortly after casting his vote with his wife Professor Hafsat Ganduje at exactly 9.55 am local time at his polling unit number 008 ward 5 Ganduje Cikin Gari in Dawakin Tofa local government area.
“My advice is for people to come out enmas for the voting and be peaceful, be orderly so that we can have a credible election,” he explained..
He commended the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC for the early delivery of all electoral materials.
He, however, said the BVAS, the technology being used by INEC for the election is a little bit slow but believed that it will pick up as there is still more time.
“The election is very peaceful, orderly and all materials are on site on time but the process of accreditation is very slow and I believe it will improve as there is still time,” he said.
“The process, with the new BVAS technology, is better than the previous Elections conducted by INEC,” he said
The governor expressed hope that the peace, large turnout of the electorate and adequate security that had characterised the exercise so far would be sustained to ensure that it ended peacefully.
He commended the security operatives, urging them to ensure it is maintained till the end.
