They urged relevant agencies in the conduct of election to ensure they deliver on the people’s mandate of conducting a free, fare and credible exercise that would be acceptable to all.

Addressing the youths who barricaded the entrance of the INEC headquarters in Awka, the Anambra state head of INEC head of voter education, Ikedife Leo extolled the youths for harping on the part of statesmanship by standing to defend their constitutional rights.

He encouraged them to reach out to other youths and educate them on the need to stay clear of electoral mal-practices and thuggery, which according to him, are criminal acts before the law of the land.
