Lalong urges citizens to shun violence at campaigns

Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, has said that it is only the votes of voters that will count.

Lalong, represented by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Prof, Danladi Atu, stated this, yesterday, at a church service to mark the 62nd Independence anniversary of Nigeria.

He said that violent nature and posture would not count, urging Plateau citizens to shun acts of negativity.

According to the governor, it is only the citizens’ votes that will count as the structure put in place by the Independent National Electoral Commission (lNEC) has indicated.

Lalong, who condemned ballot-snatching and other negative things, urged citizens to co-operate with the security personnel by giving them useful and relevant information to enable them work effectively.
