The Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, Gen. Christopher Musa, has assured that security agencies would be non-partisan and impartial in their role in the November 16 governorship election in Ondo State.
Musa gave the assurance on Thursday in Akure during a meeting with the head of security agencies in Ondo State ahead of the governorship election.
The CDS said he was in the state on the directives of President Bola Tinubu to coordinate and ensure synergy among security agencies to provide cover during the election.
He charged the security forces to be professional in discharging their duties.
Musa, who commended the security forces for their conduct in the last Edo governorship election, charged them to repeat the feat achieved there in Ondo State.
“As security agencies, we are working together as a team and Ondo State has been a very peaceful place.
“We want to sustain that and ensure that this is the best election in Ondo State. I want to appeal to all Nigerians, especially good people of Ondo State, that they should all come out en mass to vote for whom they want.
“Nobody will intimidate you, the electorate. Security forces are working like a team. We are one family as Nigerians. Our own job is to make sure that we provide an enabling environment, and we are going to do that,” he said.
Musa, therefore, called on all heads of security agencies, particularly in the state, to monitor their men in the field so that they do not derail from their mandate.
The heads of security agencies including NSCDC, Nigeria Immigration Services, FRSC, Police and others all pledged their commitments to ensure their men discharge their duties well.
