The Nigeria Police Force has called on presidential candidates in the country to caution their party spokespersons and supporters against making inciting comments and statements as Nigerians await the outcome of Saturday’s presidential election.
The Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), CP Muyiwa Adejobi, in a statement in Abuja on Monday, appealed for calm and patience as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), “intensifies effort on speedy collation of results.”
The Police charged the candidates and the political parties to “seize the opportunity of this waiting period to emphasize the rule of law, respect for the Constitution and constituted authorities to their supporters’ in the interest of the country.
