The Gubernatorial Candidate of the People's Redemption Party (PRP) in Adamaw State, Lieutenant Commander Ibrahim Baba-Inna (RTD), has called on both Christians and Muslims to pray for a peaceful conclusion of the forthcoming governorship election slated for Saturday, April 15th, 2023.
The 18th March, 2023 governorship election was declared inconclusive by the INEC after it had ruled that the cancelled votes were more than the margin of victory between the top contenders.
In a press statement made available to newsmen on Friday, Ibrahim Baba-Inna, enjoined Christians who are in the season of lent and Muslims who are observing the Ramadan fast to pray for the peaceful conduct of the supplementary election.
He emphasized the need for every individual to place Adamawa State first before any party interest, and to ensure that a peaceful, violence-free supplementary election is held.
"I call on all parties to play politics with decorum and a strict observation of the electoral guidelines of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure transparency, fairness, and credibility of the supplementary elections.
"I also urge my fellow citizens to report any irregularities to the appropriate authorities for prompt action to be taken, and to stay away from all forms of violence and disorderly conduct during and after the election," he said.
Baba Inna implored all the good citizens of Adamawa State to embrace peaceful coexistence before, during and after the election as the state cannot afford to witness violence, destruction of properties, and loss of lives that may result from an unhealthy electoral process.
He urged Muslims and Christians to pray for the success of Adamawa State and the peaceful conclusion of the governorship elections.
"Let INEC, Party faithfuls and the voting public, be impartial in the process, and let us show the world that elections in our great state of Adamawa can be conducted without recourse to violence and thuggery. He wished everyone the best of luck as we head towards a peaceful and credible supplementary election," Lieutenant Commander Ibrahim Baba-Inna RTD said.
"I thank everyone for their support and anticipate a free, fair and credible conclusion of the electoral process that will usher in a new level of peace, progress, development, love and prosperity to Adamawa State," he concluded.
