Commenting on the security situation, the PDP candidate said the town was peaceful at the moment.

According to him, if there is any chaos, the security agencies should be able to nip it in the bud because of their large numbers.

He called on the security men to arrest anyone who plans to cause trouble during the election.

“We are not saying security men should rig the election for anybody, but I want them to do their jobs without favouritism or being partisan,” he said.
