Deployment of Military for Polls: Ahmed Charges Voters Not to be Intimidated
Kwara state governor and All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in this month’s general polls, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed has charged eligible voters in the country not to be intimidated on the purported plan to deploy military personnel to the various polling units during the polls.
Rather, Ahmed said, they should come out with their permanent voters cards and cast their votes for the candidates of their choice during the polls so as to bring new lease of life to the populace.
Speaking at an interactive session with some heads of districts (Alanguas) and heads of royal families compounds (Mogajis) in Ilorin Emirate comprising Ilorin West, Ilorin South, Ilorin East, Moro and Asa local government councils of the state over the weekend, Ahmed said that the purported move to deploy military personnel for the polls should not discourage them from coming out en masse to vote for the APC during the polls.
According to him, "Let them go to United States of America to bring soldiers to the country for the polls, you should not entertain any fears at all but you should all come out enmasse and vote for the APC candidates during the elections."
He said, "I want you to come out as early as possible on the day of the polls, identify yourself at the polling units with your permanent voters’ cards and ensure that you are cleared by the electoral officials and queue for voting".
