The candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, for the February 3, 2024 re-run election in Igbo-Eze North/Udenu Federal Constituency, Simon Atigwe, on Thursday, called on voters to be law-abiding during the election.
The ex-lawmaker equally called on voters to turn out en masse to exercise their franchise, adding that security agencies were already on ground to guarantee security of voters during the exercise.
