Vice Chairman Senate Committee on Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Nurudeen Abatemi-Usman, representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, has urged the people of his constituency to conduct themselves properly during the Local Government Council election holding on Saturday, May 4, 2013 across Kogi State.
According to a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Michael Jegede, the Senator made the call during a tour of the five Local Government Areas within his District to sensitize the people on the need to maintain peace, law and order in the course of
the election.
The lawmaker warned the youths not to allow themselves to be used by anybody to unleash violence of any kind, while pointing out that the current peace in the Senatorial District must be sustained.
Abatemi-Usman who declared his support for the chairmanship and councillorship candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), implored his constituents to come out en masse to vote for the ruling party in the state, so as to pave way for further growth and development at the local councils.
He noted that “it is very important for you to vote for all the candidates of the PDP in the council poll taking place on Saturday so that we can have leaders at the local level who would work
harmoniously with our Governor, Idris Wada, in his effort to bring total transformation to our beloved state.”
