Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has challenged politicians in the state not to prepare for violence in the November 11 governorship election, saying the poll is about votes and not guns.
Governor Diri, who admonished his opponents to contest for the ballots and not bullets, also warned the opposition not to resort to mayhem and violence as it will not be tolerated.
The governor made his position known on Friday during the 25th State Security Council meeting in Government House, Yenagoa, on Thursday.
Governor Diri, who referred to a recent concern expressed by the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu, that incumbent governors were preventing the opposition from using public facilities in some states, assured that his administration will ensure a level field for all parties and that the opposition in the state will not be arm-twisted.
