Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Ahead of Saturday\u2019s governorship election in Edo State, activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has cautioned against federal interference in the exercise.<\/p>\n

Adeyanju cautioned the All Progressives Congress, APC, against plots to exploit presidential powers to influence the outcome of the election.<\/p>\n

In a statement he signed, Adeyanju urged the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Kayode Egbetokun to be loyal to electorates.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cAs Edo State prepares for its upcoming governorship election, scheduled for 21st, September, I charge the Independent Electoral Commission to prioritize the people\u2019s interest and conduct a free, fair, and credible poll.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also call on the Inspector General of Police and the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies to remain loyal to the people, rather than serving the interests of politicians.<\/p>\n

\u201cNeutrality and professionalism are crucial in ensuring a peaceful electoral process.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurthermore, I condemn the reported plots by the ruling APC to exploit presidential powers to influence the election outcome.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch actions undermine democracy and subvert the will of the Edo people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people of Edo State deserve to choose their leaders without interference or manipulation.\u201d<\/p>\n
