The Peace Ambassador with Universal Peace Federation (UPF) said as the election drew near, it was imperative for political parties, their candidates and supporters to ensure peace reigned before, during and after the elections.
“In politics there must be winners and losers, however whatever the outcome of the elections, we want all political parties, their candidates and supporters to embrace the spirit of sportsmanship.”

“While the campaigns are still on, it is important to call on political parties and their candidates to restrict themselves to issues based campaign.

She said, “I’m calling on all Nigerians not just the youth to participate in the general elections and ensure that it is free, fair, credible and without violence.
