Guber Poll: Election Should Not Be War, CDS Cautions Troublemakers in Edo

The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, yesterday warned potential troublemakers in Edo State to desist from violent acts, emphasizing that the forthcoming governorship election should not be treated as warfare.

General Musa gave the warning when he met with Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, at the Government House in Benin City, the state capital.

The meeting was part of the CDS’s visit to the state to assess security preparations ahead of the September 21 poll.

A statement by the Director of Defence Information, Brig Gen Tukur Gusau, said General Musa assured Governor Obaseki that the Nigerian Army, in collaboration with sister security agencies, had received President Bola Tinubu’s mandate to ensure a free, fair, credible, and peaceful election in the state.

The CDS’s visit and warning come as tensions rise ahead of the crucial governorship election, with concerns about potential violence and disruptions.

He said, “The CDS has today, September 19, 2024, visited Edo State to assess the readiness of members of the Armed Forces and security agencies for the governorship election on Saturday.
