“No politician is worth losing your blood for.

“Don’t be used as instrument of destruction; there should be no killing of people nor should there be destruction of property in any community,“ Idiba pleaded.

He appealed to prospective voters present at campaign rallies to carry the message to all the nooks and crannies of the state.

He explained that the vote not fight; election no be war campaign, launched in Nov. 2014, was instrumental to the peace that reigned after the conduct of the last general elections.
