The chairman Bwari Area Council, Mr John Gabaya has urged the security agents to help in sustaining peace during the forthcoming council election billed for February, 2022.
He said the only way to guarantee a violence free election is, if relevant agencies involved in the process refrain from manipulating election results.
The Chairman stated this on Wednesday when he received the Mandate Secretary, Area Councils Services Secretariat, Ibrahim Dantsoho on a familiarization tour to the Chiefdoms.
Gabaya who appealed to the FCT Administration to do all within its capacity to ensure that armed security agents do not trigger breach of peace by interfering in election processes, noted that the people of Bwari Area Council will resist any attempt to be intimidated at the polls.
While pledging his support to the FCT Administration’s efforts to ensure peaceful Area Councils’ elections come February 12, Gabaya assured of his commitment to spread the message of peace during and after the election.
“I want to assure you that as Bwari is concerned,there will be peace. However, l being the chairman today sir, one thing that will cause problem is when there will be manipulation.
“I want to pass this message to you sir, thank God l am contesting and l am saying it to the whole world, nobody should carry my vote and give to any other person and don’t carry somebody’s vote and give to me. That are the causes of crises during elections.
“There after, l wan’t to say this with loud voice, and as a message to whoever is going to conduct the elections. The armed security men shouldn’t intimidate us concerning votes when we’re voting, allow us to vote. When you vote stay aside. We will rather die in Bwari than for some body to come and deprive us of our right. l will personally give my life for my people. We therefore want to tell you, is a promise that there will be peace when there is no compromise” he said.
