As voter education intensifies in Bayelsa State ahead of the governorship election, the Eunice Nnachi Women Advocacy Foundation, ENWAF, has called on the people of Sabageria community and its environs to avoid all forms of violence before, during and after the election.
Chief Executive Officer of ENWAF, Lady Eunice Nnachi, came out with this during a voter education sensitization program held in Sabageria Opokuma, Gbaran-ama and Okoloba town, all in Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.
Lady Nnachi said that violence in any society does not allow for development and prosperity particularly during election, noting that it could disrupt the electoral process of selecting good candidates who would bring good governance to the people.
“Let us vote and not fight, violence should not be part of our election, violence does no good to any person, community or society, we appeal to you all to cooperate and make the governorship election peaceful in the state,” she said.
Nnachi advised residents of the communities visited to shun voter apathy and come out in large numbers to vote wisely, adding that no one should sell their votes or engage in any form of election malpractice.
The chiefs and people of the community expressed appreciation to ENWAF for the visit and voter education.
Recall that, a week ago ENWAF toured Sampou, Kaiama, ODI, and Kalama in Koluokuma/Opokuma Local Government Area to sensitizing and preach for peaceful election
