Immediate Past Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, CON, has appealed to stakeholders to be transparent and avoid any form of violence. That we have experienced too much violence in Nigeria and Delta State in particular.
Uduaghan stated this in a Press Release dated Thursday, 23 February, 2023, that was made available to pressmen.
Appealing to Nigerians to go and vote in peace that a peaceful election is a win for us all, he said the results of the elections would produce mainly fresh hands to occupy the various offices being contested for. And hopefully, the fresh hands would produce a new Nigeria.
According to medical doctor turned politician, “the campaigns have been intense with participants and their supporters criss-crossing the country, states, local governments, wards, voting units and even homes. In the media, including the social media, the campaigns have also been quite intense.
“The international communities have taken keen interest in the campaigns and upcoming elections. Key amongst the issues are the twin challenges of transparency and violence. As Nigerians, the responsibility to handle these challenges is in our hands.
“The elections should not be a do or die affair. The spirit of winning at all cost must be discouraged. Resorting to violence is evil and devilish. A lost election today, can be won at a future election. However, a lost life today can never be brought back.
“I am therefore using this medium to appeal to us all to be transparent and avoid any form of violence. We have experienced too much violence in Nigeria and Delta State in particular. Let us go and vote in peace. A peaceful election is a win for us all”.
