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.

Tinubu also encouraged them to resolve any disagreements amicably through the constituted authorities.

“In addition, President Tinubu expresses unwavering confidence in the professionalism and integrity of security agencies and INEC officials.
