His words:

“You are enjoined to comply with the rules and regulations governing conduct on election day.

“I urge all of us to remain vigilant and to accord the security agencies and other relevant authorities our full cooperation. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.

He said:

“This is an improvement and my expectation is that I will win. I am happy that there was no case of apathy. The security build up has also been impressive.

“The process is excellent, I just cast my vote, and it went very well. The accreditation process has been perfect. I must commend INEC for preparing very well.

“Definitely, there would be hitches, but I hope it won’t be much as to affect the credibility of the whole process. The turnout has been encouraging.”
