\nGovernment he assured has put enough safe guard measures including improved security network to ensure a hitch-free polls.<\/p>\n
He premised his confidence against the backdrop that Nigerians are now more enlightened , wiser and conscious of their rights and privileges which they would not allow to be manipulated by desperate public office seekers.<\/p>\n
