The director of NOA in the state, Mr Oluropo Ibikunle; executive director, Centre for Transparency Advocacy, Mrs Faith Nwadishi; and CTA team expert, Professor Anthony Kola-Olusanya, urged participants to cascade the message to their groups.

They appealed to all those participants in carrying out election duties to play their roles as stipulated by the electoral law and shun any act that may undermine the process.
