The ex-governors under the aegis of Former Governors Forum stated this in a statement in by its chairman, Dr Babangida Aliyu, and its executive secretary, Prof. Tunde Esan, respectively in Abuja.

The statement, titled, ‘Former governors forum call for peaceful polls ’ reads: “In the past few months, our nation has witnessed campaigns by politicians across the political divides. Information dissemination aimed at reaching the electorate are sometimes laced with controversies. In the midst of it all, our nation is and must continue to stand in peace and unity as we cast our votes. Polemics, grandstanding and vituperations of emotional positions may have whipped up sentiments, and call to question some of the fundamentals of vote seeking; in all, the voice and votes of Nigerians must count.

“The electoral empire INEC must be supported, in their assurance of free and fair polls. There must be winners and losers, none and nobody is permitted to question the basis of our corporate existence as a nation.
