The Joint Body of South East Council of Traditional Rulers and the Representatives of the Igbo Archbishops and Bishops on Peace and Conflict Resolution have called on political actors to ensure peace reigns and polls are held in credible, free and fair environments on Saturday 11 November, 2023, governorship elections in Imo, Kogi and Bayelsa States.
The group said in a statement on Wednesday that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) must rise to the occasion and win the hearts of Nigerians by conducting polls creditably following the controversy that greeted the general elections earlier this year.
The statement was jointly signed by Obi Nnaemeka Achebe, Chairman, Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council; Igwe L. O. C. Agubuzu, Chairman, Enugu State Traditional Rulers Council; Most Rev. Dr. Chibuzo Opoko, Methodist Archbishop of Umuahia; and Most Rev. Dr. Valerian M. Okeke, Catholic Archbishop of Onitsha.
The South East bishops and monarchs called on all traditional heads in Imo State to work in concert with their town and community leadership to ensure a conducive environment for the elections in their domains.
They also asked all religious leaders of Islamic, Christian and other religions, to admonish their faithful to be of good conduct as they perform their constitutional duties of participating in the electoral process in their numbers.
