The election is scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, September 21.

A statement by the Special Adviser to the President (Information & Strategy), Bayo Onanuga on Friday, said the president implored the governorship candidates, political parties, and supporters to respect the democratic process and the people’s will.

It said, “He believes in the voters’ ability to make informed decisions about their future leaders. President Tinubu emphasises that democracy thrives on civility, tolerance, patience, and respect for the rules of the game,” the statement said in part.
