Ondo Polls: Dickson warns INEC, security agencies

Following the end of campaigns in Ondo State, ahead of today’s governorship elections, Bayelsa State Governor, Hon. Henry Seriake Dickson, on Friday called on stakeholders and critical actors in the process to ensure that, nothing is done to undermine peace, security and stability.

He also called on INEC and security agencies, particularly to act, in a non-partisan manner according to their constitutional mandate, to provide a level playing field for the conduct of peaceful polls.

The governor also warned against “any temptation to engage in acts capable of undermining the security and stability of Ondo State in a desperate attempt to deliver any pre-determined outcomes.”

Dickson added that such untoward action could have far reaching negative consequences, beyond Ondo State.

He emphasised that “we should be guided by history.”
