Elections: SGF Urges Nigerians Not To Entertain Any Fear

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation Boss Mustapha, has urged Nigerians not to entertain fear or be distracted but to exercise their God-given civic rights by voting.

Mustapha made the call at the 1st Quarterly Prayer Meeting organised by the 19 northern states of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN with the theme: “Toward A Peaceful and Successful Violence-Free 2019 Election” in Abuja.

The SGF urged Nigerians not to be scared by the forthcoming elections but to go out and exercise their rights as citizens.

He said that Federal Government would not want violence to take place during the elections as any eruption of trouble in whatever magnitude would endanger the wellbeing of the nation.

Mustapha said that peaceful elections were important to the socio-economic development of the country.

Earlier, the Chairman, CAN, Northern Region, Reverend Yakubu Pam, urged Nigerians to not just pray, but to also participate by going to cast their votes so that the purpose of God would be fulfilled.
