Anambra State government has assured electorate in the state of their safety during the November 6 governorship election, saying it has been talking with relevant stakeholders to ensure a hitch-free polling.

A statement by the Anambra State government, signed by the Commisioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr C. Don Adinuba, said: “Anambra State government hereby assures all persons in the state that the November 6, 2021, governorship election will be free and fair.”

The statement reads in part: “Robust arrangements have been made to secure the life and asset of every person before, during and after the election. There are enough security forces who are well equipped and motivated to provide security in every part of the state throughout day and night.

“The November 6 election will, therefore, be as peaceful, free, fair and transparent as previous elections in recent years in our beloved State.

“All registered voters in Anambra State are enjoined to come out and cast their votes. Your vote will count in this election, as in recent elections.
