Guber election: Group cautions against provocative statements
"Let us be mindful of weight of comments we make or information we share likely to cause disunity and spark violence before, during and after the elections."
The South East Human Rights Situation Room has cautioned stakeholders in Enugu State politics against inflammatory statements ahead of Saturday governorship and State Assembly elections.
The group made the call in Enugu on Tuesday in a statement signed by its convener and Senior Advocate, Prof. Joy Ezeilo.
“Let us be mindful of weight of comments we make or information we share likely to cause disunity and spark violence before, during and after the elections.
“Let us all consume social media information with caution. The tension in Enugu politics is too high, hence should not allow it to degenerate to violence,” she said.
She called elections devoid of violence and encouraged voters to exercise their franchise freely.
Ezeilo also called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure it conducted free, fair and violence-free polls for posterity sake.
