Ex-Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, has called on Nigerians, particularly Deltans, not to see the forthcoming elections beginning with this Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly polls as a “do or die affair”.
Uduaghan, who was governor of the oil-rich state between 2007-2015, noted that there was need for all political players to ensure that the elections were violence-free which represent the wishes of the electorate.
In a statement signed by the former governor on Thursday, he said it would be “evil and devilish” for anyone to resort to violence on account of the approach all-important elections in the country.
He stated that the country and Delta State had experienced enough violence in the past and called on all eligible voters to embrace peace before, during and after the polls.
