Ahead of the general elections, stakeholders in Delta State, on Wednesday, called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a free, fair and credible voting exercise. The call was made at EK Clark Solidarity for Okowa one-day seminar tagged: “Free Fair and Credible Election: A Panacea for a Stable Delta,” held at the Government House Annexe in Warri. Keynote Speaker at the event, Professor Godinni Darah, during his presentation, warned INEC never to compromise the integrity of the electoral umpire by being biased during the polls. He, therefore, urged INEC to take a firm stance to ensure a free fair election and be fair to all political parties participating in the polls. “This is the only way to build a better, stronger, Delta State as we cannot afford disunity with ethnic tribal sentiments,” Prince Akpo Abugo, the facilitator and publicity secretary of the forum averred.
