A governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nasarawa State, Professor Mohammad Sani Haruna, has urged his supporters and party faithful to protect their votes during the forthcoming governorship primary election in the state.

Haruna, a former Executive Vice Chairman of the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI), stated this on Sunday during the Northern Zone Mega Rally organised by the Coalition of Prof. Mohammad Sani Haruna Support Groups in Akwanga, Nasarawa State.

Addressing party supporters at the rally, the aspirant called on voters to participate actively in the democratic process while maintaining peace and order throughout the exercise.

He urged his supporters to turn out massively for the primary election, remain vigilant and ensure that every valid vote cast is counted.

“Cast your vote for me, witness the process, protect your vote and ensure it is counted. But do not obstruct the process, do not insult anybody and do not campaign at the polling units,” Haruna said.

The APC governorship hopeful also cautioned against violence, intimidation and acts capable of disrupting the electoral process, insisting that political contests should be conducted peacefully.

“You don’t need to quarrel, you don’t need to insult, and you don’t need to fight with anybody. Our interest in serving the state is not worth anybody shedding blood or fighting with anybody because it is only under peace, understanding, security and love for each other that development can thrive,” he said.

Haruna stressed that peace, unity and mutual understanding remained essential for the progress and development of Nasarawa State.

He further called on party members and residents of the state to embrace tolerance and coexist peacefully despite ethnic, religious and cultural differences.

He said diversity should be seen as a strength that could be harnessed for development rather than division.
