“No gathering or campaign of whatever guise will be allowed to hold within the stipulated restriction hours and violators of the said order will be dealt with accordingly to the extant law of the State.

“Members of the public are hereby called upon to comply with the restriction order as eligible voters are allowed to go out and exercise their franchise without fear of intimidation from any quarter.

“Effective security deployment has been made across the State and a Rapid Response Team has been created in all the Local Government areas to promptly respond to distress calls while all Police personnel deployed have been warned to be civil, neutral and professional in carrying out their assigned duties.
