The Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Friday Eboka, has urged candidates of the various political parties in the state to go about their campaigns peacefully.
Eboka said this while addressing a security and stakeholders meeting, including parties and the INEC, at the Police Command in Port Harcourt.
Eboka emphasised the need for the parties to abide by the rules and refrain from using abusive languages and utterances capable of heating the polity ahead of the elections.
He stated that security outfits that are not recognized by the constitution would not play any role during campaigns and on the election days, even as he urged the parties to submit their campaign timetables.
Eboka said a committee would be set up to check the dates and venues chosen for campaigns to avoid any possible clash.
