The Newspaper Proprietors
Association of Nigeria (NPAN) has added its voice to other notable Nigerians,
insisting that the general elections must hold as scheduled.
In a statement issued yesterday at
the end of an extra-ordinary meeting of the association and signed by its
President, Mr. Nduka Obaigbena, NPAN said: “The general elections must hold on
March 28th and April 11th as scheduled by the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC). The election must produce an outcome and Nigerians must
rally round whoever emerges the winner.”
The association stressed that “the
election is for and by the Nigerian people and it must be free, fair and held
in such a way that it will deepen the nation’s democracy such that at the end
of the electoral process, Nigeria must be the winner.”
NPAN called on Nigerians,
particularly politicians, to eschew all forms of violence before, during and
after the election. “We call on the people of Nigeria, especially political
leaders across the nation, to eschew every form of violence. The prevalent
do-or-die attitude is unnecessary, unhelpful and unhealthy for our system of
democracy. We must all say no to violence before, during and after the
election,” the group said.
