Kogi State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Femi Fanwo, has urged the people of the state to come out enmasse to vote on Saturday, November 11.

Fanwo, in a statement on Friday, said the security operatives in the state are there to protect them and make their votes count.

“They are not in the state to intimidate or harass you, as they have remained very professional since arriving in the state to provide security for our people, and we commend the Federal Government and security agencies for their commitment to peaceful poll,” Fanwo added.

He also noted that every polling unit will be protected, and the eligible voters will have the confidence to cast their votes.

According to him, violence should be shunned by all, as we cannot afford to lose the peace we enjoy in the state to an exercise which should ordinarily be a celebration of democratic rights.
