He said that in the media, including the social media, the campaigns have also been quite intense.

While saying that the international communities have taken keen interest in the campaigns and upcoming elections, particularly looking at how the country would surmount the twin challenges of transparency and violence, Uduaghan averred that as Nigerians, “the responsibility to handle these challenges is in our hands

“

He said; “The elections should not be a do or die affair. The spirit of winning at all cost must be discouraged. Resorting to violence is evil and devilish. A lost election today, can be won at a future election. However, a lost life today can never be brought back.

“I am therefore using this medium to appeal to us all to be transparent and avoid any form of violence. We have experienced too much violence in Nigeria and Delta State in particular. Let us go and vote in peace. A peaceful election is a win for us all”, he added.
