The
Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Yobe Command, has reiterated
its readiness for hitch- free election in the state.
The State Commandant, Mr Ayinla Olowo, disclosed this in a chat with Newsmen in Damaturu, on Friday.
“In spite of the fact that the
elections were extended by one week, which has directly or indirectly affected
various arrangements, the command is set once again for the exercise.
“Though, it is not easy for many people to embark on long distance travel again to carry out their
civic responsibilities, we want them to see it as a national sacrifice,’’ Olowo said.
He therefore, urged Nigerians to go
out freely and vote for the candidates of their choice, as the command was
ready to protect lives and property.
Olowo said the NSCDC was committed
to ensuring an enabling atmosphere where everybody would vote and the votes
would count without rancour.
