The Niger State Governor Abubakar Sani Bello says the general elections in his state would be hitch-free despite the prevailing security challenges.
Governor Bello made this claim on Wednesday when he addressed a large crowd of All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters in Suleja, where he flagged off the campaign for the election of the party’s candidates at the township stadium.
“I do not have any doubt in my mind that elections will come and go without hitches,” he said.
Bello added that the federal and Niger State governments would continue to do its best to solve the security problems facing the state and the country but asked the people to be very vigilant and support security agencies in their efforts to restore peace to troubled areas of the state and country.
“Security is dynamic. Every day, we are faced with different types of challenges. We try to respond to the challenges when they happen. No one can tell when and where it will happen.
“We have to be on our toes, and going into elections, we have to be more vigilant and even the locals. I do not have any doubt in my mind that elections will come and go without hitches.”
Governor Bello asked the electorate to “vote massively from top to bottom for all APC candidates because they are credible people that will build on the successes recorded by the present administration.”
