The commissioner went further to say that in ensuring this, the government had mandated all its political appointees to go to their villages to sensitize and ensure their people participate in the on-going exercise.

The commissioner also said that the state was hoping that the National Assembly would support INEC in all areas to ensure that the exercise was hitch-free to enable all eligible voters exercise their civic right and responsibility in the next general elections.
