The Public Relations Officer of INEC in the state, Mr Taiwo Gbadegesin, gave the assurance in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Ado-Ekiti on Friday. He said the commission was conscious of the peculiar condition of that category of Nigerians and would make sure they perform their civic responsibility.
The spokesman said the commission had embarked on a sensitisation programme since February to educate residents, particularly rural dwellers, on the need to ensure a peaceful election.
INEC, he added, had met members of the traditional institution as well as other stakeholders to enlighten them on the need for a peaceful poll. “We are very much optimistic that we will not have any problem,” he said.
