Gov. Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta has assured residents of the state of peaceful, free and fair elections.<\/p>\n

He also warned political parties against violence and urged all to respect the rule of law.<\/p>\n

Oborevwori gave the assurance at a stakeholders\u2019 meeting on electoral security on Wednesday in Asaba.<\/p>\n

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the meeting is organised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).<\/p>\n

Represented by his Senior Political Adviser, Sen. Emmanuel Aguariavwodo, Oborevwori reaffirmed his administration\u2019s commitment to providing a conducive political environment for all parties.<\/p>\n

According to him, all political parties are free to campaign and canvass for votes without intimidation or harassment.<\/p>\n

The governor also urged political parties to sell their programmes and ideas to the electorate through peaceful campaigns and other lawful engagements.<\/p>\n

He however, warned that anyone who violated the law would face the consequences, irrespective of political affiliation.<\/p>\n

Oborevwori while pledging the state government\u2019s support for INEC and its Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, noted that achieving credible elections required collective commitment from all.<\/p>\n

According to him, this include from the INEC, security agencies, political parties, civil society organisations and the electorate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that no single institution could deliver credible elections independently, urging all stakeholders to collaborate in preventing electoral violence.<\/p>\n

Also speaking, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Samuel Erale, warned political parties and their supporters against violence, declaring that security agencies were fully prepared to enforce electoral laws.<\/p>\n

Erale said that the police would monitor political activities and maintain peace before, during and after the elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to be peaceful. We will be on ground. We will monitor all the activities of everyone,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The CP said security agencies would provide a level playing field for all political parties to exercise their democratic rights within the provisions of the law.<\/p>\n

He warned that anyone who resorted to violence or breached electoral regulations would face the full weight of the law.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe moment violence is involved, you leave us with no choice than to come and do our duties,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He stressed that maintaining peace, providing a level playing field and ensuring compliance with electoral laws were key priorities of security agencies.<\/p>\n

He added that no individual, political party or contestant would be exempted from enforcement of electoral laws.<\/p>\n

Erale also assured stakeholders that security agencies would not compromise their responsibilities, stressing their commitment to credible and transparent elections.<\/p>\n

He urged political stakeholders to cooperate with security agencies to ensure peaceful campaigns and a violence-free electoral process.<\/p>\n
