Abolurin tasked the electorates to carry out their civic duties and responsibilities in a transparent manner and to relate peacefully with one another and to inform security operatives appropriately any suspicious act or movement and when they notice unfamiliar faces, strangers, infiltrators or persons suspected with other motives different from the election program.

Visitors into the state are also expected to conduct themselves in a lawful manner, to be of good behaviour and to leave politics to politicians.

To the politicians, Abolurin advised that rather than engage in unwarranted propaganda and verbal attacks on security operatives who are there for the good of all, they should embrace security and support security operatives.

He urged politicians to appreciate security deployment in the state ahead of the election as it is mundane to leave security in the hands of hoodlums, miscreants and hijackers.

Abolurin further tasked its personnel to allow their various professional training take centre stage by expressing civility in their approach and to work with decorum to serve, save lives and to protect the citizenry.
