Ahead of the general election, Dr. Rilwanu Suleiman Adamu, the Emir of Bauchi has warned political aspirants at all levels to avoid hate speeches and political violence.
Rilwanu made this plea on Tuesday when Atiku Abubakar, presidential flagbearer of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) visited his palace before he proceeded to a campaign venue at Sir Tafawa Balewa stadium.
The monarch urged aspirants to ensure peaceful polls in the coming election. WikkiTimes gathered that Atiku had visited the palace for the monarch’s divine blessings.
Similarly, Niger State Commissioner of Police, Ogundele J. Ayodeji, warned political parties, candidates and their followers against unguarded speech that could breach public peace ahead of the polls.
The police stated this yesterday in Minna, the capital of Niger State when political parties signed a peace accord for the general election.
“Peace cannot be achieved without collaboration and synergy with other relevant political stakeholders, hence the reason for the invitation to sign the peace accord among all the political parties and their candidates,” he said.
