President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Professor George Obiozor has urged residents of Anambra State to come out en masse and exercise their franchise in today’s election.
Obiozor in a statement encouraged the residents not to be intimidated by the presence of the security operatives deployed to the state, adding that their presence was to aid hitch-free election.
“The presence of security operatives in thousands should not be a source of fear and trepidation rather a confidence building dynamic by the federal government to guarantee adequate security of lives and property in the State,” he said.
But he asked the Chief of Army Staff, the Inspector General of Police and all the Service Chiefs whose men are involved in the Anambra election to ensure that the security operatives observe strictly the best global standard of rules of engagement with the good people of Anambra State.
He said:”The federal security operatives should synergize with the traditional rulers, town union presidents and local community vigilante for effective coordination of the voting process”.
