Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki has called for
peaceful and credible election ahead of Bayelsa and Kogi State governorship
election on Saturday.
Saraki said this while condemning the attack on Governor
Seyi Makinde of Oyo State in Kogi State on Friday.
It was gathered that the hoodlums scaled the fence of the
hotel and attempted to gain entrance.
Reacting to the development on his Twitter page on Saturday,
Saraki wrote, “Elections should not be a war, and political affiliations should
never silence the voices of reason and peace. We must rise above party
affiliations to roundly condemn the scale of violence we are seeing in Kogi
State.
“There is no democratic victory borne through loss of lives
as citizens strive to exercise their constitutional rights to elect the leaders
of their choice. No one wins, only our beloved nation Nigeria loses.
“I call on those responsible for ensuring a safe and free
election to do all it takes to see that today’s elections in Kogi and Bayelsa
States are peaceful and credible, and not a scene of intimidation, violence and
blood bath.
“May God guide and protect our fellow Nigerians in Kogi and
Bayelsa States today.”
