The Secretary to Katsina State Government (SSG), Dr. Mustapha Muhammed Inuwa, has warned his supporters in the forthcoming state governorship election to shun any act capable of disrupting socio-political order in the state.

Inuwa, who gave the warning after he met with members of different political groups yesterday in Katsina, urged the supporters to embrace peaceful conduct, shun political thuggery and other forms of crisis, before, during and after the polls.

THISDAY reports that Inuwa recently declared his intention to contest for the governorship election in the state on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Over 186 political groups, 18 out of the 34 members of the state House of Assembly and 24 aspiring chairmen with their councillors in the forthcoming April 11, 2022, local government elections are supporting his governorship ambition.

He challenged the supporters to instead embrace the tenets of political dynamism, and root out every factor contributing to the democracy deficit in Nigeria, such as voter apathy, looting, arson among others.

Inuwa said: “We urged them to be law-abiding and to understand the tenets of democracy. If you support one person, you should also appreciate that another person has every right and reason to support another person.

“So, I urged them to be law-abiding and to conduct whatever they want to do in this regard peacefully without any problem.”
